even though a lot of people are realising the truth about New Labour, I can't see anybody taking the Tories or their leader seriously enough to vote for and the Liberals aren't even considered.

You are partly right. The three main parties have identical policies: privatisation of essential services, low taxes for the rich,. and even support the mass murder of millions of people (the so-called independent nuclear deterrent). However it easier for opposition parties to stand for election than in other countries, and I have been able to vote Socialist or Green. I think a new party is needed to replace the Labour Party, which has been taken over by the Tories.

I agree. New Labour is Old Labour and Old Tory mixed up together so there really is no difference between the two big parties. Tony Blair has ensured that Labour stay in power for a very long time yet - they will win the next election narrowly and then consider introducing PR in a pact with the Lib Dems to ensure that they stay in power indefinately.

The UK is a 2-party state (two have held the government for the last 40+ years). If we held some sort of tournament (maybe round-robin voting) among all the little parties to determine which ones most of us could support in principle, then we'd know who the big'ens are.
If it were up to me, there would be three parties on each main ballot (A versus B; A vs C; B vs C), plus a 'who is the best of the rest?' box, so that at each next election, there would have been a promotion onto & a relegation from the 'big three' in each constituency, and a new choice will have emerged as a main option among the big three in each constituency.

Unfortunately, the probability that the U.K. will remain Wedded to the 'Labour Party' is all too likely! Despite the fact that it is the one Party that should have been made to "Finish Early"!!
Take the time to scan the Websites of the growing number of County Councils & those of District/Local Councils, where you will see a rapidly increasing number of Councillors affiliated to the B.N.P. or Independant's who got elected upon their Nationalist Right Wing Agenda's:
With this type of Local Politics gaining momentum it will not be long until there will be a noticable presence of the B.N.P.
within Westminster.

Yes the Middle Grey Party. All the big three are just about the same.

In the 80's the UK was a single party state. Conservative.
