30% after 16 years of New Labour, he's aiming low.

I thought the electorate heard in 1997 something about "education
education education", maybe the electorate is wrong and it was some
subliminal message to get a party elected - then forgot about the
second they get elected.

After 10 years, the UK has managed to churn out a new generation if
illiterates just functionally able enough to put an X next to a New
Labour candidate at elections - and that's THE most important thing.

An educated population is dangerous to New Labour, they could vote New
Labour out, and you can't do that.

True, but the Labour Party (both old and New) and Labour Prime
Ministers have a very long history of reneging on election pledges and
backtracking on so-called decisions. Wilson used to play the left wing
and the moderate wings of the party off against each other. Callaghan
was an incompetent twit. Blair's utterings were just spin and lies. So
Gormless Gordon is continuing a long Labour Party tradition. Why I was
a member of that party for 15 years God knows.
