In the same way, when Labour eventually win back power, they will also be reluctant to change most of what the Tories do.<br /><br />Thus our political elite take us forwards, all marching in step with their wishes. The flags may alternate in colour, but the direction of the march remains the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-45846176759010825822009-10-14T09:34:11.894+01:002009-10-14T09:34:11.894+01:00Labour seem hell bent on destroying themselves...a...Labour seem hell bent on destroying themselves...and taking the country down with them..<br /><br />I doubt Disco Dave and the Bullingdon posse will be any better....hung parliament?...i wish...I am Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101757111187294588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-6308605920017090862009-10-14T08:37:51.765+01:002009-10-14T08:37:51.765+01:00Yes, that's it!

They are present on the high street so if they actively campagn they could have a big influence.<br /><br />At least they are making a fight of it.
