It's because People are Stupid. Labour have the whole thing sewn up, They've realised that politics is just a popularity game so they spend their time in office bribing the proles to look the other way on their spin and broken promises by flogging our gold reserves and running a deficit during the boom years. Then when the Torys are subbed in to take action to prevent the country collapsing under this weight of debt Labour has an easy time branding them as callous monsters, and ensuring that they'll be back in at the next election. It works because people are too stupid to remember more than a few months in the past. Most of them just vote whichever way Murdoch wants them to anyway.
It's a beautifully elegant strategy on Labours part, just a shame that it's all just a game to them, The good of the country is secondary to "winning the game".
This is why I'm pretty pleased with the coalition, They are taking action with the difficult decisions for the health of the country even though it's killing their chances of being re-elected.
