@SciFiBoy: I would argue that the Lib Dems are further right on economic issues than both Labour and Conservative. They support the removal of corporate subsidies and protectionism.
The Human Rights Act was not a Labour achievement; it was under pressure from existing EU human rights policies.

You think the Bank of England is independent? During the baillout period it did everything the Government wanted even though it was financially irresponsible. Interest rates went up and down at politically, not economically, determined times (Dropping interest rates during rising inflation just because Labour wanted to stimulate the economy?).
