Now Pre-Blair/Brown, from a light blue perspective, I would have opted for Labour.
Now I am not absolutely clear on chronology but Labour gave us nuclear weapons, having cancelled TSR 2, the Buccanner, the Phantom, the Herc, Nimrod C17 and no doubt a fair number of others.
Apart from screwing the aircraft programme in 1957 there were the Nott cuts and the peace dividend from the Tories.
I know it can be argued that Labour left the finances in such a state, but to counter, in doing so the RAF got the kit.
