I think people are very cynical of politicians now, especially the way "New Labour" have acted since taking power in 97, somehow, none of them are believable or sincere, especially that Tony bloke.
I somehow sense Labour are gonna get a thrashing in the local elections next year, Gordon or no Gordon. Certainly here in Ceredigion, Labour are dirt, as they've proposed to downgrade the local General hospital, and surprise surprise, upgrade a neighbouring county hospital, who's MP & AM is Labour (Ceredigion has a LibDem MP and Plaid AM). Very grubby indeed.
