	<description>The diaTribe blog is our occasional take on life, the universe and everything. Observations on current affairs, the environment, politics, humour and music/gig reviews. Travel diary and extreme sports stories, along with the usual rants/raves are also chucked in for good measure.</description>

<p>Dear fellow voters,</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you enjoyed (as I did) watching the worms at Whitehall squirm as they got their arses roundly kicked in the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7416526.stm" title="BBC Article (opens in new window)" target="_blank">Crewe and Nantwich by-election</a> yesterday, as they also did in the recent <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7378788.stm" title="BBC Article (opens in new window)" target="_blank">local elections</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m certainly no fan of either the government or the Labour party in general, but before we start down the road of handing the next election to the Tories, let&#8217;s take a quick stroll down amnesia lane&#8230;to the last Tory-held government of 1990 to 1997&#8230;<br />
