So the Tories then were in favour of:

The setting up of the Scottish & Welsh assemblies?
The setting up of the Greater London Assembly?
Massive injection of funds into Health, Education, Policing etc, etc?
Getting the unemployed and the unemployable into work?

This is a mere shortlist of achievement. The Tories were opposed to all the above hardly evidence for what you claim.


Fair point and as I say lesser of two evils. But tuition fees? That one move made me question just what makes this Government tick ideologically. Profoundly not part of traditional Labour ideology - and we're moving towards selective education in schools now.Then there's the whole Iraq thing (raising a whole raft of Qs). The crapness of adopting the tax credit system (just tax people properly Gordon!) which is a nightmare for many. The idiocy of PFI. The idiocy of foundation hospitals.
