Seems from this BBC article that Tony once had a bit more respect for the S word and the left of the party he has insisted on so horribly destroying.
As for me I blame Peter Mandelson for alot of it. Anybody who has read The Blair Revolution Can New Labour Deliver? by Mandelson and Roger Liddle will probably understand why I say that. Published in 1996 it really has proved to be, as the cover advertised, "An inside account of New Labour's plans for Britain".
What saddens me is it appears, from Ming Campbells speech last week, that the Lib Dems have actually decided which battle front they view as most important and so are also lurching to the right. I am v. disillusioned, but refuse to be disenfranchised due to lack of a real left option. For the moment I will stay in the Lib Dems, but when a truly democratic left party does emerge I think I will jump in that direction.
