When you say socialist its all relative. Tony Blair, leader of the left wing party in the UK, is far more free market-inclined than Jacques Chirac, leader of the right wing party in France. Ive never voted Labour and I disagree with many of his policies but I look at Blair and think it could have been worse.
True socialism is dead in the UK, at least for now. Its now all about arguing over the shade of the mixed economy.
