Every other democratic country has opposition values to the main party in their country, yet in the UK we all have to be Tory lite to be able to get anywhere because the Media won't accept anything else, it's a disgrace.
That just plain wrong. The political balance of a country is generally proportional to its peoples wealth. As the general wealth of the UK people has increased since the second world war, the need and desire for left wing politics has diminished. It no longer serves the needs of the majority of the population. The press simply reflects the consensus of the people at the time.
