Re: Condoms.
I can remember Thatcher of course and the subsequent Tory governments!
I know that by the end they were very un popular with many of the electorate.
However, I still feel she was hard done by, particularly when compared to the politicians of today!
I believe (perhaps wrongly, it is only as I percieve her) that she always did what she did and stuck to what she did because "she" beleived that what she was doing was right! She stuck to what she considered her parties principles to be.
Today, you have a Labour government that has abandoned its routes in order to win votes! They have as a consequence of this become more conservative than the tories though for all the wrong reasons. Surely a Labour Party in opposition standing for its principles is better than one in Government that does not?
At least with Thatcher she stood for what she believed in, whearas today politicians stand for what will get them the most votes!
As a consequence of this the two main parties on the whole seem to occupy the centre right with nothing to choose between the two. Except of course for their personalities (if indeed you could call them that!)
