Tony Benn, one of the best PMs Britain never got.
- gadders 3y agoNo. The only thing he was ever right on was Britain leaving the EU. He was a far Left agitator whose only policy position was "do the opposite of the USA".
- toyg 3y agoYou clearly have a limited knowledge of his experience, largely from his latter years. He was actually a pretty centrist element in Labour, until his experience as Postmaster General, Minister of Technology (delivering the Concorde), and other cabinet positions, made it clear to him how fundamentally undemocratic the British system was (and is). He then moved leftwards, and on many causes history proved him right - Iraq and Afghanistan to name a few, but also the need for abolition of the Lords, which continues to be plain to anyone who wants to see.
