Chris, when you actually answer the question, then you can tell me i don't like it, but seeing as you haven't, you can't really accuse me not liking it.

Of course I can. That's what debate is about.
There's very little point in anyone on here trying to goad anyone else into answering any specific question, when it's obvious that the question is designed to elicit an answer that would give the appearance of conceding a point. You know that, I know that, so let's stop playing games, shall we?
I mean, we can either sit here, dumbly answering each other's questions and pretending we don't know where each other is trying to go with it, or we can just cut to the substantive issue - which is that the policies put forward by a party - any party - more than a decade ago are no guarantor of what that Party might do when next in office.
A fact amply demonstrated by Labour's utter failure to re-nationalise ... well, anything at all, really, with the possible exception of Railtrack, and even there they don't dare speak its name. Even though there's obviously a significant rump of support for good old fashioned socialism in the party grassroots.
