Without getting into a history debate I don’t think we have a 2 party system now (unless you ignore the Libdems, SNP, Plaid Cymru, DUP, UUP, all of whome have elected representatives at Westminster). New Labour and the Conservative partys are IMHO one and the same. The comment about hijacking a party was pointed directly at the transformation from old to new labour.
