Yeah, the Conservative Party did it over here in the 1980s. Then when Labour came into power they did nothing to redress the balance. And they are partly funded by the unions. Maybe the unions should have refused to fund them until they got their rights back. But there is an increased confidence in the labour (small l) movement at the moment because the Brown Government is weak and the Conservative Opposition are talking in a generally liberal, conciliatory manner about almost everything. It will be different when they win the election, as they almost certainly will. As the old saying goes, beware the wolves with hair on the inside.
