  Howard - #25 - because Labour talk the talk but their policies are naive and stupid that have the opposite effect to what they claim. If people were better off and more independent why on earth would they bother to vote Labour, a party that taxes them to the hilt, spends too much and thinks it knows best how to spend their money better than they do? Look at Browns massive benefit society with hand-outs to those within incomes of over £50k - that was only to create a high level dependency and to keep people voting for them . Labour have a vested interest in a divided society, with people who are grateful for their largesse and all the benefits they receive. Reduce people's dependency on benefits, increase their wealth and independence and why on earth would they be stupid enough to vote Labour who will just want to take it off them in tax?
  
  #28 - Howard, no actually, it is just that the Conservatives are by far the better of the bunch. It is all just a comparative matter. Hayek dedicated his great work, The Road to Serfdom, to 'Socialists of all Parties' deliberately. The left of the Conservative Party are not really much different from the right of Labour, we on the right of the Conservative Party balance that and keep in check the worse tendencies of the left. The coalition has just increased the influence of the left, hence the problems we are having in boosting the economy out of Brown's 'Great Recession'.
