Two more years? Try infinity more years. We're just now in the US (some of us) that the Dems and Repub's are just alternating legs of the same damn machine. Obama has proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is no such thing as Right or Left in the US, there is just the Machine.
Well, in the US, it's more than that, we have extremist far-right, and then we have slightly less right that call themselves left. We're in an extremely conservative country, sadly. How hard it's hit the younger generation has bred a lot of socialists and far-left idealists though, so perhaps there is hope.
Well that's why I said "since the last government". 'New Labour' has effectively been the British Democratic Party (with a few policy exceptions) for the last decade... The decision in 1997 to shift the party to the right won them a landslide election and they have been almost silent in voicing their opposition to the Conservative party's policies. If it can happen in the USA it can happen here.
