"It does seem the UK is relentlessly slipping to the right and the reason why deserves analysis."
I would argue the opposite. From what I have seen the UK has been drifting left consistently until the crash, and then barely nudged right. People look to the boom over the labour reign as is it was a righty thing, which is true if you ignore everything labour did. Labour only allowed the market to run ahead because they needed more money to splurge. The public sector bloated quickly, private markets interfered with, competition ruled a bad thing, immigration for anyone, stealth tax went nuts and we only avoided the euro because Brown didnt get on with Blair.
Then we 'lurch' (laugh) right where we protect and ring fence budgets all over the place with the con/libs and now the tories. The problem with ring fencing though is that the damage cannot be spread, we are not all in it together. Instead of small cuts across the board we must have greater cuts to limited services which people are willing to sacrifice. During labours run we had a massive push to be dependent on the gov.
During the election we had a labour gov so far left they were unelectable outside of a socialist utopia (wasteland), a tory gov that looked and sounded like a labour gov and the nearest to a centre right wing small state party was UKIP.
