Labour is still the only political party to try to protect the best interests of the 'average person', your 'Old England' (thankfully) no longer exists... we've moved on.

All modern politicians are 'middle class'... c'est la vie.

Possession of a social conscience, a desire to better the lot of the less fortunate, and a compassion for equality and a fairer society, is more important than where a political figure comes from.
