Very lame of me, but I'm really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.

Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I'm not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?

Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.

I think "regressives" is suitable term.

I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I'm in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven't always been great at communicating why they've made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.

Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.
