I'm generally very solid in the "voting doesnt mean anything, its a sham"/"every vote is also an implicit vote for the current system" camp, but I think we've reached a stage where its just silly to claim that theres no meaningful difference between Labour and anyone else (see also: the current Republican administration in the US).
Its not even a case of political ideology; theres pretty much nowhere on the political spectrum you can be where Bush/Blair havent been complete disasters for their respective countries.
