The curse of the out party?
Third Avenue has a great post on why Republicans dominate in America while their (supposed) counterparts in Britain have been getting a beat down for the past decade. He writes:
But there is a striking difference between the Tories and the Republicans that may go some way to explaining the former's malaise and the latter's success. US Republicans have managed (rightly or wrongly) to become the spokespeople for a positive American future, while the Democrats all too often are seen as the whingers at the sidelines. Over in Britain, it is Labour that has colonised the 'positive', forward-looking territory, leaving the whingeing firmly in the hands of the Tories.Posted by Karol at July 25, 2005 07:15 PM | TrackBack
