Of course it isn't. That kind of comment is made by those who really don't understand or cannot grasp the whole idea of ideology, especially the historical strands of the left. Maybe before making such ignorant statements people should try and educate themselves first. Makes certain people look a little foolish.

agreed, the big state ideology is dead (some of us got there a lot sooner than others), and it's about time labour caught up.
Bill Clinton in the 90's was forced to say ' the era of big government is over', it is nothing new to think that government is all wrong and unhelpful, it is just amusing to see people think it is. It is quite easy to bash government and forget how much we need government. What is brilliant currently is seeing the Tories and those on the right use the failure of PRIVATE industry and the rescue of our whole way of life by GOVERNMENT, be used as an excuse to bash the public sector and government. It is quite astounding and also quite sad, without government we would be nowhere. Private industry always comes crawling back to the state for help when it fails.
