Scumbria, your problem is you see Europe as being one nation. It may surprise you to know there are other countries in Europe beside Britain. LOL

Now, as to the specific British electoral situation...Many of Tony Blairs policies could be taken right out of George Bush's campaign pledges. Reforming public education with testing, accountability, choice and a decentralized power structure. Limiting the punishment of high taxes on high achievers, supporting SDI and a strong defense, etc..

The story which isn't being told by our liberal media about the British election is the way in which Labor has moved decidedly right over the last decade in order to win. Couple that with a poor competitor, a person who appears honest and without a major scandal like Blair, and it's not surprising to see the results we've witnessed.
