I would say from recent experiences that the health service has improved a lot in recent times, but obviously that is just me...
As for the Islamic issue, many on the far left (Claire Short and ken livingstone spring to mind)have strongly promoted anti semitic and staggeringly bigoted islamic leaders and its hard to imagine a more guaranteed vote loser amongst other communities. The leading far left columist (seamus milne) even recently went so far as to throw heavy support behind the Iranian leadership which perhaps even topped his gloating over 9/11 for stomach churning disgust
My point about the far left now is that they are only defined by what they hate and not what they have to offer.
