We've got the Tories in now. The big difference between Thatcher 1985 and Bliar 2005 is that there was an opposition then. They were constrained in how far they could go- and god knows that was far enough. But the only opposition now is from the right- which is why New Labour trends that way continuously.

So Tories in power, Labour opposition sounds a better bet that Tories in power, Tory opposition.

What we REALLY need is a weak government of any party.
