May 2012

I think Blair did pave the way to some extent for it, though. The only semi-decent Prime Minister we've had in 33 years was Gordon Brown (though he did participate in Blair's economic policies); and he was hated and vilified by the media.

I think Ed Miliband's not too bad. The problem is that everyone, including Labour, seems just to accept the fact that this government, which got in with 36% of the vote (counting only the Tory vote, as most LibDem voters were NOT voting for this!), will inevitably stay on till 2015.
