Yes, unfortunately, so-called social-democrats today are about as neo-con as the Tories. Maybe you know the anagram of "PM Tony Blair": "I'm Tory Plan B." According to Thatcher's motto -- "TINA" --, the neo-cons give voters no real choice, but only various faces of basically the same program. In the U.S., it's called "Tweedledum / Tweedledee". Alas, this principle even applies to European "multi-party systems", where "social-democrats" are aggressively privatizing postal services, telecoms, public transportation, schools, hospitals, electricity, etc. Anyway, this doesn't change the statement about privatization of education. I think the whole deceptive party circus should be abolished, and politicians should only be elected as individuals with a clear individual program based on issues instead of deceptive party lines.
