: It might just be that history is against you Gee, history's a powerful thing, a bit like God, once it's on a roll it'll flatten opposition.Actually, I should be pleased with historic trends. they have been away from centrally controlled empires toward ever smaller ones, and maybe ultimately to the individual.
: I know the idea of a prevailant Blair/Clintonite mediocractic democratic dictatorship of the guilty middle class
I like that!
: For instance the Conservatives of Britain have had to drop their commitment to privatisation and complete worship of the free market to be at all credible.
They have probably just lost even more votes, it was a pathetic attempt to gain some of Labors market share, I suspect people would not want to vote for a party whose platform is "were a bit like labor, only without the nice young man in charge"
: I dont think the centre ground has moved to the right, like a lot of trot doomsays would have everyone think, I think it's moved to the left, a Liberal left but a left none the less.
I think they have all moved to a nasty mean average of mediocre centre pragmatism/populism.
: How can you call this restriction of choice freedom?
Because freedom is yours, not others
