It was New Labour, which is basically the same mentality as the conservatives. A movement in Labour that proved so popular that Corbyn has won two leadership elections.

I understand where the Tories are coming from. Most of the services they privatised, weren't significant to their voters, other than the chance to make a buck off of them. The core Tory voters don't get the same value out of public services that traditional labour voters do.

Its as short sited as New Labours f**king PFI's, good for the short term when you're in office and need to show an improvement, but f**king terrible for the long term when you actually have to fulfil social duty and obligations.

Not everything can be 'run as a business' or have a simple fiscal value put on it.
