    I'm pretty sure over the next few years as the recession really bites and unemployment goes through the roof and levels of benefit are slashed extremism right/left will for better or worse come to the fore.

    Cameron has made some interesting noises about balancing the economy away from the city and the public sector, with an emphasis on manufacturing, which is good, Thatcher didn't understand it and her successors certainly haven't understood it either.

    I doubt whether we will get the extremism, the comparison would be the big shift of the 80's away from a mass industrial employment based economy, in another twenty years, the banks will have screwed up again and a new generation will be experiencing the same issues. I doubt whether mass immigration will be an issue next, with the BRICK countries drawing in the economic migrants, also with the BRICK countries providing the economic stimulus to get us out of the current mess.

    We will still have issues and problems and Jezmo will still not have settled in a club, Weadmire will still be jumping redlights and Teagear will still be stalking DMClite

    The extreme left/right will only come to the fore if proportional representation for elections is introduced.
