Default Re: The New Labour Regime

Although I'm only 15 and just finishing school, I feel that the current British politics offers little alternative to neo-Thacherism.

What I've learnt about Old Labour in History studies and general knowledge they seem like the socialist old-guard I would vote for, New Labour appear to have betrayed the socialist ideals of Old Labour and embraced neo-Thacherism giving more and more power to the private sector.

I hope either Labour sheds the skin of New Labour's neo-Thacherism and returns to being a left leaning party of near socialists. I doubt the acheivements of people like Aneurin Bevan and Clement Attlee could be acheived by any politician today.

I don't know what to think about Gordon Brown, I feel like I want to trust him to save the country from privitisation hell, but I really doubt he has any inclination to uphold any kind of socialist values.
