| SciFiBoy said: Historically, Labour have been much better than the Tories, in many respects, they still are, but Labour have gone to far right for my liking, imo, they should have stayed more Left on the economy and much more Left on social issues, if Labour go back to the left, i may well vote for them in the future, but at the moment, i wouldnt vote for them. i will never, ever, ever, ever vote for the Tories. im voting for a 3rd/4th party in the next elections. |
Dude please, that depends on you perspective, for me Tories have been better for the country than Labour , especially if you look at traditional Labour not the New 1997 Labour (which kinda are commited to free market capitalism).
They couldnt stay on the left because they were unelectable at the left, just look at the 1992 election when even unpopular tory government was able to win against Kinnocks Labour or at Labour of 1980's trashed in the elections by Thatcher "Labour is not working". Thats why they have changed
And talking about history 3 biggest economic dowturns in the UK have started under labour, Ramsay McDonald in the 1920-1930's. Wilson and Jimmy Callaghan in the 70's and Now the Labour Goverment of blair and brown.
Tories weree better suited to lead the country, thats why Labour morphed into more similar party in 1997 election.
