More like libertarian-socialism I would suggest if it wants to live and evolve. As opposed to either more authoritarian-socialist/Marxist or conservative. (Or both in bed together as in La Neocon camp.) The democratic-socialist tradition is a reasonably fine one - with the odd lapse - and is sustainable moving forward PROVIDED it sees where the sole main chance rapidly evolving for hope is. And that is anarchism. What would a convincing democratic-socialist narrative look like?

Now he has the job he's nowhere as popular as his boosters thought he was. The situation reminds me of Howard & Costello in 2003. Just because the old leader has worn out his welcome doesn't mean that a new one is the solution. Interesting because Gordon Brown was once everyone’s darling alternative to Tony Blair.
