Do you think the conservatives would have done things differently, they were promising to match Labour spending.

Could they have done a worse job? Is that even possible? In 13 years they did so much damage. Whar were people thinking voting for them?

Possibly not, I don't think things would have been much different and one side blaming the other is just part political nonsense.

I remember the time well, all those new schools and hospitals all well funded I seem to recall. As the parent of two young children at the time, it was hell!
I shudder to think what our vital national infrastructure would look like now if we'd had another 13 years of the penny-pinching and unambitious Tories from 1997 onwards.
I have reservations about Corbyn, but at least he's offering an alternative to the joyless and depressing life we're leading presently under the Tories.

Yes it must be great to be a member of a labour party full of rich people pretending to be virtuous and caring whilst making themselves as filthy rich as possible.

You must be so proud.

Do you have any evidence for your assertion regarding the Labour membership profile?

None of it paid for. All debt.

More often the term is used as a pejorative. It is best said with a sneer. :-)

It is a synonym for capitalism, globalism, elite rule and ruling-class privilege.

JC does seem to be signing up for mass migration (gloabalisation) - he does also seem to be part of a ruling elite that seems out of touch with real people. So some might see as signing up for Neoliberalism - in truth there is little agreement about what the term means.

Redefine the term to swerve the issue...& Jeremy Corbyn is now seen as part of a 'ruling elite'.........really!

No evidence regarding the Labour Party membership then!
