In todays
Telegraph there is a very thoughtful, well written and balanced article.
Some of the comments bear out the thoughts of the populace who are sympathetic to the 'NuLabour' fundamentals including the shameful behaviour of a Labour MP in the House of Commons (for me 'NuLabour' really have made it common). While more are more in keeping with the traditional view that we are a benifit to the country as a whole and we do our jobs but not politics.
If you get a chance read the article and the comments it is worthwhile and uplifting.
