Labour stopped the young socialists and even expelled militant, so the real left can only unfortunately turn to parties like the SWP

If labour is going to attract the youth vote as Miliband has now indicated, he is going to have to show he cafres about issues affecting the young - student loans, EMA and youth unermployment.
It is no good sitting on the fence offering a wishy washy alternative. EM has to come off the sidelines and show some solidarity with current youth struggles.
