I think a lot of people that voted labour ten years ago are bitter that labour turned out to be 'the same as the rest of them'. It is easy to have a defeatest attitude as a result and become apathetic towards voting and politics. Labour certainly proved they are a far cry from 'up the workers' which is what they were initially about. I don't know as much as I would like about current affairs anymore, but over the years it seems like some decisions they made had a certain disregard for people that do work hard and whom labour were meant to stand up for.

I don't think it has been a horrendous ten years though, I can definitely see improvements in my home town and it is a far cry from what it was like in the eighties and early nineties.

I agree with the point that we need to start actively doing something, although I am not exactly brimming with ideas myself.
