It's probably worth ignoring people who cry 'communists' or 'Marxists' or any other dirty word at anything but their own flawed ideology.

Are you aware of the history of the Labour Party? Of the trade union ideology?

Until the liberal government put a stop to it, trade unions blackmailed employers and universities into forcing their employees to join and pay them money against their will. Furthermore, they regularly used intimidation tactics, some illegal, on people and businesses who disagreed with their strikes or policies. They also outlawed private bargaining in the workplace, destroying productivity and meritocracy. These people are pigs who have no concern for freedom of association and choice.

In terms of the implications of a Labour government over Liberal; they are slim.

History disagrees with you. Their stated policies have some significant differences, and that's under the promise that Labour has "cleaned up their act" and become "economic conservatives", something I don't think is possible given their promises of ponies, and massive trade union representation, a high proportion of which are communist leaning.
