The Star has now become a self parody: http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2014/05/08/andrea_horwaths_rightwing_populism_salutin.html

Rick Salutin's column appears Friday is almost certainly on the OLP payroll.

I find it very amusing when people say that Blair embraced Thatcherism. I mean, its almost like saying the Conservatives governments of the 1950's and early 60's embraced the policies of Clement Attlee. Both simply... adapted to the changed political climate, which meant accepting some of what had gone before as, at that moment in time, irreversible. Not to mention that I doubt Thatcher was much of a fan of a lot of the policies that Blair pursued whilst in office.

So, does this mean that the Liberals are likely to be entrenched in Government for a good long while (as the Tories were throughout much of the 20th century)? Unless the Tories pull themselves together or the NDP displace them as the opposition (possibly leading to a BC like situation?). I don't know, I'm no expert...
