Not sure there is a shift to the right going on. Ater all in the past year the world has witnessed the collapse of market fundamentalism.

None of this make things rosier.

We have the most anti working class New labour govt, the growth of the BNP so that it is now bigger than the far left ( even the fringe far right have more than what was the trot left outside of the SWP and SP) and the second most prominent Tory has resigned to stand on a civil liberties ticket. That says something and also about those who say vote Labour because the Tories will be worse and vote anyone than the BNP.
