WILSON'S VICTORY So. Mr. Wilson now has a majority of nearly 100. The actual event turned out to be about half-way between what most pollsters predicted and what we expected, The left is pleased with this victory, and so it should be, Who, on the left, could fail to feel satisfaction at the demise of so many leading Tory M.P.s? But more important, there has now been a decisive shift in the political situation in this country, There is no political excuse for (a) Mr. Wilson refusing to carry out those parts of the 1964 Labour Party Election Manifesto which had some anti-capitalist significance: steel nationalisation and the "nationalisation of growing points of the economy"; and (b) for the left of the Labour Party to hold back, in the slightest, in the struggle for a fully fledged socialist policy.
