True.

It's such a shame that, following the swing to the right of the right during the '80s, and the repositioning of New Labour as a response, that anything slightly left of Attila The Hun is immediately pounced upon as being the handiwork of Trotsky or something.

However, perhaps there is slim hope (and God knows that's a commodity that one is wary of investing in these days) that, after witnessing the behaviour of the banks and big business pre and post credit crunch crisis, that the public might not be so suspicious of any ideas that have a 'leftist' tinge to them. Indeed, given the across-the-board effects of the recession and the breathtaking hubris and sheer ignorance displayed by the upper echelons of banking and business - still bleating about their bonuses and potential 'loss of talent'- and the uncertainty displayed by the electorate resulting in the ConDems, maybe some fresh, left leaning ideas, presented the right way may even have some general appeal.

I won't hold my breath, but you have to have some reason to get up in the morning.
