i suspect your probably right, but perhaps that lurch back has always been pushed by vigilant anti-fascist efforts. Let's not chance it, eh?

Of course to a measurable extent that is true though you wonder how much effect say the ANL and RAR or any other anti Fascist organisation had on voters in a constituency like West Bromwich. There will always be a minority of people who hold far right wing views at the front of their daily lives. Others sublimate those views and like it or not having those views represented on the ballot paper is part of the process and now and again a portion of the electorate "acts out" and gives the Tories a reminder not to forget about them. So I prefer the Tories feral than this horribly media conscious luke warm Blairist crap they serve up these days. Of course anyone with a vague knowledge of labour relations in this country in the second half of the 20th century would be well aware that racism and misogyny have not always been the preserve of the far right either. Those views rise and fall with people's sense of job security and both major parties need a bit of a wake up call on that count. Islington is not England. Never was.
