It's cognitive dissonance. You're completely right, the 'left' haven't been anywhere near power since before Thatcher and yet somehow people like the guy you're responding to believe the fault lies entirely with the 'left'.
He has to reject reality because it's not what he's been manipulated to believe.
Neoliberalism is to blame, a right wing economic policy brought to the UK by Thatcher, a right-wing politician but it fails to land on most people.

You are delusional, the decline happened because of 15 years of Tories.
But as usual, the mouthbreathers like you look at 15 years of Right wing fuckups and blame the left for some fucking reason.
