I beg to differ, "New Labour" turned out to be a populist attempt to regain power by a few who forgot they had socialist roots and forgot socialist principles. Hence the Parliamentary Labour Party got sick of Tone and his photo shoots with George and wanted rid. Hence Scotland overturned huge majorities in local and MSP elections to return socialists who happen to be SNP candidates and gain power of the Scottish Parliament.
I'm seriously hoping that England returns 'the big C' as the 'wrongness' of having an English Tory Government ruling over an obviously socialist Scotland where they can't get an MP will be brought inro clarity. Hopefully this will spur the case for full independance from England who we seem to have little in common with.
