It's black and white for me. Hitler had some good ideas to be fair to the man but his insistence on killing Jewish people makes him a twat. The Tories are the enemy of the working class. I am working class. Therefore I can not support them.
So, if a party supports us all moving to the Moon without oxygen but are "Working Class" then you would vote for them?
New Labour are NOT Socialist.
They have done some things that I agree with and welcome (National Minimum Wage, The Irish agreement to name but two) but I could never agree with their stance on massive immigration (which was ridiculous, and I had to deal with it on the front line. And I was one of the moderates on that one), their determination to draw us into a War that we had no right to be in, their complete SLEAZE with the expenses matters (where they completely seemed to forget us, the "working class") and finally, the sheer arrogance from Day One. Oh, and the determination to scrap Clause 4 (probably the first thing that showed this party were never Socialists).

They will never be Socialists. They are Tory lite.
And that is why they were elected in 1997.
And why they have fallen now.
