FWIW.

Many political commentators claim that the Blair government has gone further in its reform of the public sector that Thatcher could even have dreamt of.

Off course, there has been a general rightward shift all over Europe the last decade with deregulation of the public sectors.

Personally, I would like to see even the parliment privatised :-)

Well they've talked a lot and spent lots of money, hired lots of civil servants but has anything really been achieved ? Immigration is out of control, NHS sounds like it's still gasping, universities going broke and behind it all there's "stealth" Brown with his hands in every nook and cranny upping taxes :)

"Many political commentators claim that the Blair government"

This isn't really that convincing for me as we all know what liars political commentators can be.

However, I do believe that ultimately there will be a rightward move in Europe in spite of the best intentions of their elected leftist governments. (As well as the unelected EU officials.)
