Exactly my point. New Labour is just old Labour but having wholly embraced Thatcherism. Remember the "Clause 4" controversy a few years back?

The Lib Dems have historically been committed to taxing to the hilt and spunking it away on shit - just like Labour in that respect.

The Tories want to reward the wealthy, deregulate everything and shift the burden of taxes onto the lowe/middle class. Don't forget that Fuel Tax, Council Tax and indeed many of the massive arsenal of stealth taxes deployed today were dreamed up under Major's government.

We desperately need an alternative. It's why more and more people are voting for extremists, because they feel like they're being ignored.
