the issues are complex but it is indicative of how politics as a whole has shifted rightwards in the UK.
Having gained power through attracting a disaffected middle class they can't backtrack for fear of losing votes. Maybe it's just political reality.
Whatever the reason it is a sad phenomenon. And the irony is that a party that grew out of a socialist movement joined in with the neocons in the Bush administration to invade Iraq.
