I'm not sure that New Labour really identified themselves with being progressive until they felt they needed to attract would-be liberal voters. Labour might have had some progressive policies but was supposed to be a blend I thought: hence the "Third Way". I found that Labour took an utterly unprincipled bid for power at the end, dropping many of the principles on which they were elected while simultaneously accusing the other parties of the same. What an irony labour spokespeople accusing the liberals of having no principles, when the Liberals are the true progressives. The cynical way that the public has been mislead is unbelievable. The public ought to be treated like shareholder, instead they were treated like fools. Expenses is not the only reason for loss of faith.
