Hmmm thats a tough Question .
8 Years ago when labour were elected,it seemed like a breath of fresh air.The tories arrogance,corruption and greed had pissed off too many People...and Tony and the Boys seemed soooo very sincere and Reformist.Nowadays imvho ,the same faults are very much with new Labour..and thats not even including the illegal war in Iraq!
Nowadays,the Conservatives are arguably the third biggest Party in Britain after labour and Liberal.The new unveiling of the Tories hardline immigration policy may backfire even more (the leaders Parents were refugees themselves).
They have always been seen as the more Middle class,value led Party.But the future doesnt seem too bright at the Minute.
As for whether things would have been any differant if Conservatives had ruled for the last 10 Years?Nah,probably not.
Dont matter who you vote for,you always end up with the Government.
Just my 2 cents as you might say over there.
