British politics

There is no one on the left for me to vote for. I have always voted Labour since i was able to vote in May 2000. But the way they keep privatising public services and let the rich get even richer and the poor poorer.

Gordon Brown will be no better he is as much an American file as Blair is, favours privatisation and wont tax the rich anymore than he has done in his 10 years as chancellor. The depety leadership contenders are saying fine words about how they think that labour should move back to the left but most of them were in the cabinet or junior ministers in Blair's goverment and have voted for such things as PFI, the Iraq war etc so its a bit rich to say that labour move more to the left.

PFI is runining the NHS with its requirements of the debts to be paid before any other debts to the detrement of front line services.
