Check out Stodge's excellent 'The Slow Death of Labour England' - the Labour Party in the UK gets progressively less and less left wing and, after some remarkable butterflies in the 1980s and 1990s ends up adopting similar economic policy to a hard-right Tory leader (who was a woman... ASB much?). Tim Blears is the fictional PM's name I think. I think he'd be a very useful ally in this so-called 'War On Terror'.
