Comments on: A profound shift in party politics http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/2008/11/19/a-profound-shift-in-party-politics/ Insights from the UK and beyond Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:58:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: brian Roberts http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/2008/11/19/a-profound-shift-in-party-politics/#comment-6731 brian Roberts Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:27:05 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/?p=1159#comment-6731 "New" Labour is resorting back to type after eleven years of their vote catching, keep everyone happy, tactics. In doing so, any wealth created by the private sector has been swallowed up by our ever growing population and overweight public sector, leaving nothing in reserve to fall back on. They are blaming their inability to cope on the fact that this is a global recession, which of course it is, but they were very willing to claim the credit for our prosperity when in fact it had more to do with global demand/growth. As for the Tories, I`d give up if I were them, who in their right mind would want this poisoned chalice once Labour have finished with it. “New” Labour is resorting back to type after eleven years of their vote catching, keep everyone happy, tactics.
