I like to think it more of a problem of democracy than any particular party.
To some extent, I'd agree. However, the move from a mixed economy to market forces was Thatcherisim - she and her peers subscribing to the monitorist theories and practices. Arguably very popular because it meets base human instinct, this popularity and our democratic approach meant New Labour and the LibDems followed suit. However both choose to pretend to be nice whenever they get the opportunity. No change on the horizon means we all need to embrace the approach. I can't see a dictatorship being much different, history suggests in practice, these are generally right wing, no matter their name.
