When was Peter banned again from participating on the site? I think it is unfair to suggest that the unions have been stripped of their powers - as demonstrated at the conference (vote on secondary action) they do have some powers, but you are right that they are limited. Don't get me wrong - there are a lot of things that this Government has done wrong, but I feel that it is still the best choice, and one that is making peoples lives better - look at the 100% debt relief for the most indebted poor counntrys, a doubling of the EU aid budget and a commitment to set a date for ending export subsidies, more investment in hospitals, schools and the police. These things wouldn't have happened with a Tory government, and Peter is right - the Lib Dems are not a "government in waiting". The last election was probably the worst possible term the government could have had, and still both the Tories and Lib Dems failed to capitalise, so the only likely outcome at the next election is a Labour or Conservative government (possibly a LD/Tory coalition). That is why it is important that people vote Labour, and the Labour party tries to rebuild its relationship with people that used to vote Labour. What would your views on a LD/Tory coalition be?
