re: Blair's party is starting to pay the price.
The only problem is, so many voted against Labour by voting Conservative. Though there may be some differences between these parties on domestic issues, there is little difference on the key issue of Iraq. Or for that matter, on the desire to create a card-carrying police state -- no doubt as an experiment on behalf of the American far right, which has had difficulty so far in introducing one itself in the Land of the Free.
The Liberal Democrats are the nearest thing to an opposition party (out of the established parties). I hope that more Britons will in future support oppostion to the Labour-Tory "monolith".
