Your right there Xaccers, they are no better. Ive come to the conclusion a politician should only be in power for one term, its in that first term, no matter who they are, that they are more likely to stick to the election manifesto, after that they become to comfortable and will say anything just to stay in power. As a guy who voted Labour in 97, not wanting some crackpot loony left government, the one thing I can say is they haven't let me down!!. As you say Xaccers, this Labour government is in a lot of ways more to the right than Maggie's 79 and 83 governments, personally all I want is a government that is "boring", stays in the center ground, and isn't ideologically driven. Id be prepared to give Cameron a go, but its the right-wingers behind him who worry me.
