Thatcher was product of historical tensions beyond her agency. The rise of and the need to control inflation(See Mark Blyth) as well as the greater determinate of fossil fuel contraction and decline which was the real driver of the neoliberalism boogyman(most of whom use that word are just offended welfare statists who got turfed by the times). These were power and historical dynamics beyond voting and there was a good chance that some labour party loser would have gone this route as well albeit slower cooked.

The Bush/Blair point is retarded for the simple fact that one of those two comes from the party that Alan Moore is voting for. In other words the anti-war/imperialist option IS NOT an option throughout most of that corpse ridden party and even IF JC gets in he will be overwhelmed by leviathanic pressures to keep the engine going.

So yeah, voting doesn't change anything. It's even more confirmed now then when Emma G said it more then a saeculum ago.
