I find it quite funny how people keep harping on about Labour in the 70s and Thatcher in the 80s. Under Coalition governments this sort of stuff is virtually unheard of as all major parties will collaborate with each other at some point, and perceptions just aren't as black and white. Politics in the UK seems to revolve around trotting out old negative cliches about the other parties rather than emphasising the strengths of the own party. Much of it is just tribal rhetoric which you get a lot less of with the consensus-based politics that you get with coalition governments. Whether UK politicians are capable of changing their mindset to one of cooperating in a constructive manner remains to be seen though.
