Suppose it depends on what you mean by "really didnt mean it". I havent
seen an election when a party's eyes werent bigger than our wallet. I
suppose you werent so naive during the last election to think that the
liberal's promises, based on Labour numbers that everyone including the
liberals knews were a bit dodgey, were never going to be kept. Now every
time they have to cut a social program, axe a department, sack a few
thousand people with families, they will just say "Its labours fault...we
havwe a mandate for asll these reforms but they didnt leave enough cash so
we are *forced* to do all this"

He may not be the next labour PM though. He is a practical , friendly
generally nice guy. I think labour will be a constructive and co-operative
opposition for a while yet. Which will be a nice change from a devious
negativist, bitter, obstructive opposition :)
