His Majesty's Government I hope, not to say I'm tiring of QE II, but if you're not going to get rid of it, spice it up some.

In 10 years - the same as it is now i.e. Centrist with a slight leaning to the right.

Leftist by U.S. standards. Moderately conservative by the civilized world's.

New Labour is hardly left, its nearly as Conservative as the Conservative party. Hence why they will probably get re-elected.

Democratic socialist, but with more free market economics.

Judging by the results of this thread: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=6901695 (Just advertise my own thread a little :D )
And the fact that NationStates forum probably is (on average) a lot younger than the national average age we're more likely going to see a polarisation of British Politics, with both the BNP and Lib Dems as well as a host of other smaller parties take huge chunks out of the traditional Labour-Tory vote bloc. This may in turn lead to a change in the electoral system, seen as it is becoming increasingly unlikely for one party to gain a majority. Either that or a lot of useless coalition governments.

At this rate it'll probably be run by the US.

I seriously hope not, but I'd rather that than become a state of the "United States of Europe".

C'mon... China, India and the E.U. are going to be the next great world powers.

Hmmm..yeah I can see your logic. You'd rather be a minion to the US then part of a union which your country can influence.
Well Labour'll most likely win the next election, then the next one, then maybe the libs/consll come back in

Well, no. I'd rather England, Scotland, Wales and Ulster each became states of the USA than States of Europe. But if it was a choice between a union with Europe or a puppet government owned by America then it'd be Europe.
EDIT: But I'd prefer complete independence. My original post made it sound like I actually want Britain to be part of the US. This is not the case, only its the best out of a bad bunch of options, in my opinion.

I fear that in ten years Britain will have a government of extreme conservatives. That's the way they seem to be heading.

It certainly seems that our current choice is like the American system, between far right and further right...
