Re: where's yer ideals

Agree with that, except for ASBOs, which I'm actually in favour of (call me a reactionary if you like, but I do think people have a right not to live in fear of intimidation from folk with thuggish attitudes). On the other hand, though, Labour have introduced a minimum wage, abolished most of the hereditary peers in the House of Lords (neither of which the Tories would ever e dream of) and finally got rid of the vile Section 28 law. Not only that, the economy may stil be a mess, but it's a damn sight healthier than it was back in the 80s.

It's true that there may only be two parties in this country who have any feasible chance of being elected - Tory and Tory Lite. Given the choice, I'd prefer Tory Lite, however subtle the differences may be. Obviously, though, as you say, that won't stop me hoping that Labour get such a small majority this time round that the party has to undergo a major restruture in order to have any hope of surviving.
