Because the people who put New Labour in power are Tory voters at heart.

But when the Bee-Enned Peas are doing well it tends to be in poorer areas doesn't it? The poorer and younger you are the easier it is to nudge you rightwards (or rather reactionary behaviour, rather than conservatism itself), no?

If there's no chance of it happening then how is it any more of a surefire way of them winning than say, all Tories switching their votes to Labour?

The home secretary told a Westminster lunch the fact Mr Dromey did not know about the loans meant "you have to wonder how well he was doing his work".
It's like that Mad magazine line where a pedestrian knocked 20 feet into the air by a police car 'was today charged with leaving the scene of an accident'.

Next time, if it's the same decision again, I will probably vote Labour in Rugby, extremely begrudgingly.

Look at them over there on the left with their fancy castle and their Tory votes. They're nothing to do with us!

Yeah, ditto. I wanted to vote Lib/Dem last time but in Rugby it was a wasted vote so I voted Labour. I can't even remember the name of our Tory MP.

"on steroids" in this case really means all the most negative and reactionary aspects of New Labour but this time not propping up poverty wages with tax credits and fully committed to the austerity consensus, so not dissimilar to the May govt. Which Tory govts of the last decade are the *real* conservatives is a more of a pertinent question for the DM and Con Home, it shouldn't be a pitch made a year before a GE by the leader of a supposed party of Labour. Grim times for democracy.

I saw a Kieth supporter responding to Tory twitter taunts about the sexual assault by one of the shadow cabinet and lack of action taken thereof, and they responded with "but what about the rapist in the Tory party, eh?"
