Enjoy (though tory voters might find it a little, well, 'uncomfortable')...

Quiet day considering its an election campaign. Is it that inflation is down to 2%.. or is that the latest poll suggests the Tories will have 55 seats and Lib Dems 50 in the new parliament so Labour can do as they want, who cares what the definition of a working man is or what the long term prognosis is in regards to the long term prospects...

I watched ITV news at 10 and heard an economist sum it up perfectly - there is nothing in any manifesto to deal with the challenges we face... but hey, we can moan about that in 5 years, and blame how bad it was when the Labour govt took over (I also read an article this week that said that the next year will be good whatever SKS does as everything is in place with a delayed reaction..)

Regardless of all that, the tories ran out of ideas and stopped governing a while ago.

The Tories had an 80 seat majority and could do what they want. So your point is what exactly?

As I have said countless times, to get a good government, you need a good opposition. Lets hope the Lib Dems can offer it!

Absolutely true. Lets hope the Labour govt doesnt just copy the Blair govts ideas as that didnt end well for the country. Already signs of PFI coming back - one of the main issues for the NHS and other departments!
