For decades the British attitude to political voting has been to vote for the party you least dislike. Hence we don't have the big rallies like the US does, as the parties over here can't drum up the enthusiasm. They are aware that a lot of people who vote for them don't really trust them.
Sure give Labour a chance, but don't expect a huge change. We'll have a honeymoon period, then normal service will resume.
As I said before. Whoever gets in. The poor will remain poor, the rich will remain rich. That's how capitalism works unfortunately.
