New Labour turned out to be the same old labour with a sexed up new image, and using the same old strategies as always, unrestricted borrowing and spending. Even if we get them out we will be left with a legacy of massive debt that will take decades to repay.

They have also shown themselves to be the most corrupt and dishonest government in living memory, leading us into an illegal war with lies and deceit, that has left Britain vulnerable to global terrorism on a scale we have never faced before.

Meanwhile Blair remains unapologetic and he and his vile harridan of a wife are self servingly exploiting their "celebrity" to line their pockets, whilst we have been left with an unelected and criminally inept Prime Minister who, with his henchmen Mandelson and Darling, cling on to power to the bitter end.
Voting Tory is only asking for more of the same. They are opportunists not to be trusted as far as they can be thrown. Refusing to vote is the only real act of defiance.
