Or whatever it is they're calling themselves these days. I can't bring myself to vote for a Bl**r II. It's either that or not vote again.

I was thinking of joining you until the conference this week. My logic is that I hate labour, I have always voted Tory but cant see the difference between them and labour anymore.
