That rather proves my point, OG.
Peter Mandelson supports Tory policies, and Tory principles.
So, why not ... support the Tories?
Is it because there is one big difference between the Tories and New Labour ...
... Integrity.
The Tories are open about what they stand for.
New Labour tried to create an illusion of standing for something else, while actively adopting any Tory policies that would keep them in power.
And that's what Mandelson wants to do again ... recreate the old illusion, in the hope of pulling the wool over our eyes again. He knows that Labour's path back to power is to con the gullible.
