Might do, might not ... seems to me it could as easily be explained by other factors.

Though I would very much like to believe that the truth is more like they had no choice, Thatcher did a very good job of dismantling much of the welfare state and state owned infrastructure and I would like her to suffer for that (if there is a hell of torment, she belongs there ... I have some very personal reasons for wanting her to suffer) ... as far as I can tell moving to the right was the only way Labour could het into power and realistically to have any impact, you have to be in power.
