New Old New Labour

Cameron is the next big thing as far as the press are concerned. The smart money and the smart press barons are behind him as well.

Cameron is Blair Mark 2

Brown is Blair Mark 1.5

Labour as a party sold out to Blair and Blair sold out the party.

The Tories must sell out temporarily to Cameron to become electable.

When Cameron goes back to True Blue, he will betray not only the left of the Tories, but also the disillusioned Labour and Liberals, just as Blair did, to a large extent.

They shouldn't bother with the names any more, they should just call each of them "The Party," because it seems to be a one-party state in all but name.

The most recent best illustration I saw of the state of things was a programme on BBC called Tax the Fat.

And what picture was presented to me when I switched on the programme, but the presenter talking to John Prescott - who was sat there in all his glory stuffing himself with crisps, while Caroline Flint avoided the questions and the presenter tried in vain to make his televisual efforts look vaguely interesting.

Vote Labour. We will tax you/tell you what to do/take away your rights (delete as applicable) but you can't tax us, criticise us, or tell us what to do.

Vote Tory. We are New Old New Labour (Can you remember which is/was which?)
