Why the New Statesman is unpopular

A sage piece on the New Statesman's dramas, as you would expect, from Peter Wilby, one of its former editors. In the last 29 years it has had 12 editors and "most left office with a sense of disillusion and disappointment and, in some cases, mental turmoil." So why is the magazine failing to attract an audience? It has an identity problem "which reflects an identity problem on the British (and perhaps worldwide) left." (Via The Guardian)
