I've posted before, the last time H.B.C. was Labour run I didn't live here. Although I visited often, and maintained close ties and an interest in the place I grew up.
The Labour party of today is nothing like the party of old. Just as the Conservative party isn't.
From my experience of living in places run by variously controlled councils, I've not found any particular party better than any other.
Liverpool - Labour, atrocious.
Lambeth - Labour, appalling.
Wandsworth - Conservative, marvellous.
Glasgow - Labour, fantastic.
Just because something was bad in the past doesn't necessarily mean history will repeat itself.
Especially because there's been such a massive political shift in various parties from what they once were.
