It's gone beyond that Dave. I, like millions of others voted for Blair's Labour in '97 because we saw he had the real opportunity to create a new and fairer society. He had the country behind him, and a spirit of optimism prevailed. - So look what happened. :\
What was done to us wasn't done through incompetence, it's part of the agenda. We should forget all this Tory vs Labour divisionist type thinking - that belongs to the 20th century. Today people need to recognise that although Political parties might say different things, whoever is in office then furthers the same agenda by what they do. That is by moving toward the centralisation of power, corporate involvement in policy making, and (engineered) unrest at home and abroad in order to increase the power of the state by ever tighter control.
There comes a point when people become apathetic regarding politics, saying 'it's boring' or some other excuse for their lack of involvement, but I really believe that anyone who has children or grandchildren should be very interested in politics, because it's no longer your own future you are fighting for, but theirs.
