All this has been going on well before 1997 when Labour got into power and anyone that believes it will change with another administration really needs to remove their rose tinted glasses.
Each party has its own agenda which has nothing to do with making it easy for us poor fools the voters, vote for Labour or Conservative if you must but do not expect them to do anything of any real substance that will help the country, unless it is helping them line their pockets and you will not be disappointed.
