Más sobre las elecciones en el Reino Unido. Aparentemente el progresismo local está empeñado en retrotraer el país a las épocas de gloria antes de las reformas de Margaret Thatcher:

For Labour, it was the worst election in 40 years. In a massive turnout, the Conservative Party took 256 seats in parliament, along with control of 12 town councils and 44% of the vote. Labour and moderate Liberal Democrats got to split the remains, and even the Liberal Democrats, with 25%, won more than Labour.

Best of all, London's 5.5 million voters threw out Labour's biggest bum: Marxist Mayor Ken Livingstone — a man so detested he forced Labour to spend the bulk of its campaign cash to defend his re-election after eight years in power to the neglect of other districts. Nice going, Red Ken.

  2. Parece que va a ser así nomás la cosa.

  3. En realidad mi pregunta apuntaba a esto: Si ganan los Conservatives, ¿Harán las reformas necesarias para profundizar lo que dejó bien hecho Margaret Thatcher y quienes la sucedieron?

    Pensar que siempre se dijo que el Nuevo Laborismo de Blair no hubiese existido sin la Thatcher.
