Remeber the SDP? Polly Toynbee does, and she argues that New Labour is now to the right of the old Gang of Four. She suggests that the answer for the Lib Dems is to stop facing both ways and mount an attack from the left. (She's no fan of the Orange Book stuff.)
Not sure I agree with her, but here it is:
New Labour is now to the right of the SDP we formed in 1981
The Liberal Democrats could be a force for good if they gave up fantasies of power and occupied the space to Labour's left
