I sort of agree.
Paul Daniels and Frank Bruno said they'd leave the country if Labour won the election in '97. (Hurrah, cheered lots of people, as they rushed to make sure that particular magic disappearing act worked.)
Anyone expecting socialism with all the trappings, including the reintroduction of super tax at 95% for the most wealthy in society, were sorely disappointed.
Instead of an exodus of wealthy Brits, the country became the destination of choice for any billionaire worth his roubles. Just check how many of the Sunday Times rich list are newly domiciled here since 1997, having arrived from Sweden, India, and of course Russia, amongst others.
New Labour is nothing like old Labour, so let's hope Tory Lite's nothing like old style conservatism. One things for sure, with Brown as P.M., they are odds on favourite to form our next government, like it or not.
Both major parties are so similarly cloned, in order to appeal to middle England, it'll be just like exchanging one daft hat for another, with a slightly different trim.
