Labour as of Blair, or the old Labour?
New Labour
Privatisation is good
ID Cards are needed
Education - top priority.
Less contact with trade unions
Old Labour
For the working class
Nationalisation (Gov. control of main industries)
Close contact with trade unions
Basically the key ideas of then and now...
so what do you prefer?

Personally I am in the middle.
Old Labour was good in general, they were a distinct party and were alot more efficient, and less about the media machine.
However, I do think dropping Clause IV (Nationalisation) was a good move.

Remember old labour gave us power cuts and strikes after strikes after strikes........Do some really want that back!!!!!!!
New labour or as I like to call it "New conservative" was better than old labour at the start......Now it has become more and more corrupted. Inevitable really as the Tories became more and more corrupted the longer they were in power...
Anyways new labour is more than 12 years old so is not all that new is it.......New labour/Old labour is all old hat and barron of policies that work. Labour is now on a par with the Tories. Utterly and completely uselesss....
