Far lefter that I am, I voted Tory for Blair's second term.

But that was primarily because the Tory candidate who had been ousted by Blair's first term was a hard working, constituency minded MP, who rebelled against his party occasionally, whereas the Labour replacement was a do nothing rubber stamp.

These things are more layered than the labels often bandied about would suggest.

(On the other hand, I have just come back from Russia ... maybe I am far left after all)
