Parliamentary democracy requires an active and effective opposition> Without it you have the very situation that TiB's article presents.

The Tories were in power for what? 18 years? Well Labour have now had what 6? What have they done?

I'm sorry I just don't see the radical changes you are talking about.

Lords reform is stalled. The last lot of "elected" peers just happened to be a bunch of literati Blairites.

NHS still failing. It looks as if PFI will deliver our public services to the market. This won't help the poor.

Education - WTF are they doing the aim is to send 80% of kids to UUni. Why bother? Once there we just saddle them with £25k debt.

Immigration. Tony is proud top proclaim we are now sending more back than we have before. Brilliant.

LCD reform - who's in charge? Tony's old flatmate for fucks sake.

War - Why?

"incredibly conservative your social and political structures are and that you can't appreciate how dramatic change since 97 has been?"

Obviously not. However, I believe that you are suffering from the emperors new clothes syndrome.
