Actually Rob, Labour and Conservative used to be very different, labour were working class, pro trade unions, but the tories were(and still are)pro middle and upper class and pro big buisiness, and hated trade unions. The trouble is, to gain support from the usually anti Labour, right wing press, labour abandoned their grass roots support for the sake of the good press coverage, and as a result have forgotten the troubles that face the everyday working class like you and me. These days because of the switch to the more Conservative, Non Labour style there really in no real difference between the two, there is no real opposition, for example they were both supporters of the war.
