This current Government has to count as the most right wing Government we’ve ever had! Labour panned the Tories when they introduced the right to buy council houses. Now we find that they want to extend the system to allow more people to buy “a stake” in their homes.

It’s sad really. With a Government this right wing, there really is no difference in our main political parties. Not suprising really as most people vote with their wallets and so right wing Governments get into power and stay there longerer. Labour wanted power so badly that they gave up all their distinguishing policies and became a clone of the Thatcher Government. Now the only significant difference between our two main parties is the personality of the leader. From where I’m sitting, neither is compelling. Tony Blair’s arrogance and distain for the public depresses me too much to vote for him and Michael Howard’s attempts to distinguish himself just aren’t working.
