Great quote from [Andrew Rawnsley](http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/may/30/andrew-rawnsley-labour-leadership-campaign) on why Labour lost:

> New Labour was too insolent about civil liberties, too cringeing to high finance, too tolerant of sleaze, insufficiently dynamic about public services and too crabbed about welfare and constitutional reform
