Ake, I am with you all the way in your sentiments. But I think , in this election, tactic should be--get out and vote, in spite of your detestation of Tony Blair. I believe that so many marginals will go to the other parties that the Labour Party will be at last brought to its senses, and be rid of the Blairite scourge. That would be the ideal outcome. What makes the prospect of a Tory victory so horrifying isn't just the fact that Howard is as bad or even worse than Blair, but that EVERY Tory m.p. would enthusiastically back every warmongering flagwaving idiot on the face of this poor old Earth.
   Let's have a final end to Thatcherism. D'ye think that if Britain had been under a real Labour Prime Minister, she'd have been so contentedly quiet in her retirement?
