Quite right, I can never understand why committed Tories or Labourites think it's such a good thing that their party should be permanently in power. If the Tories had been in the driving seat for the last hundred years, there'd be no welfare state, no NHS and the majority of the population would be working in terrible conditions and living in poverty. If Labour had been there for a similar length of time, we'd be living in some sort of drab, Soviet-style socialist police state. There may not be a lot of difference between the parties these days, but I'd prefer to keep the pendulum of government swinging!
