Which leads us to Chris Dillow (Stumbling and Mumbling: An extremist, not a fanatic):

A key part of the task for the post-New Labour party must be to reshape the electorate, creating client groups loyal to it. In this context, redistribution becomes more important – because this creates such groups…

Success in politics requires that government create the right people. The case for redistribution, then, lies not in idealistic dreaming, but rather in hard-headed Machiavellian necessity.

This nightmarish claim sums up his argument that Labour policies have not ‘created’ the right client-base for staying in power.

Sounds pretty extreme to me.
