Both seem to have problems of expression, certainly in terms of manifesto promises and the definition of truth. ?
Words of Mass Deception spring to mind , resulting in the issues facing Europe since actions in the Middle East.
Actions speak louder than words and dictators come to power in many guises, as well as political labels and party colours.
I honestly don't have a clue what you are talking about, and I suspect you don't either.

Mentioning the last Labour PM to win an election in the same breath as the latest one - oh no, how could they possibly be linked?

Life got substantially better for the vast majority of the country under Blair and Brown, even if there remained clear issues and there were mistakes. As usual they handed over a mostly functional country to the Tories, who proceeded to asset strip and run down the place so that a few of their friends didn't have to pay as much tax.

No, of course not. But in general those of us on the left accept that the JSO protestors (as an example) have to face the consequences of their actions. The right wants those protestors to face far harsher punishment while giving a free ride to all those it agrees with.
