    No, I was not too young to remember the Labour landslide of 1997. So in the news article of 1999 pointed out, Labour had been in power for nearly two years.

    Actually I might not like 99% of what either party did. I have general dislike for most politicians. My point was what each political party has done and is doing to us and our industry.
    Make your choice. Let the game begin.

      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Heh. What I was trying to suggest was that this headline was only a year or so after coming to power when the (current) govt were still trying to sort out years of mis-rule.

        My point was that you shouldn't vote for any of em, it only encourages em.

          It's generally accepted that the period of economic stability which New Labia have benefited from was in fact engineered several years earler by John Major's Govt following Black Wednesday. In fact the economy had been growing for 5 years prior to Labour's win in 1997.

          One credit that Labour must take is the decision to give the BOE autonomy in deciding the interest rate, however we shall soon see whether the period of growth since then has been supported by borrowing or the sale of the UK's gold bullion reserves.
