"<br /><br />That's because the Tories were even more repulsive 15 years ago than they are now.<br />They haven't really recovered much.<br />It's just that Labour have joined them in watching their vote collapse.<br /><br />The Apathy Alliance is still the largest party since the collapse of the Major government - which polled the biggest Tory (i.e. anti-left) vote in history.<br /><br />Lab is in decline, the Libs will soon be joining them. Only the right is on the sluggish rise... it's just that the right hasn't got any charisma... as soon as Cameroons, Lord Pearson, and Griffin stand aside or are forced out and some charmers take control, then there'll be a real prospect for the anti-EU, anti-immigrunt, pro-freedom avalanche... cue Bonnie Tyler "I need a hero" etc...<br /><br />---<br /><br />As an aside, the turd on the street is that Mandy is trying to cordwangle the IMF job for Brown... where's Al Qaeda when you need them?nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186352982733419135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-53100558718984137362010-05-11T11:51:01.066+01:002010-05-11T11:51:01.066+01:00Didn't he say he was resigning as party leader...Didn't he say he was resigning as party leader?

Other than that, there's no mechanism to force an election sooner than 2015.<br /><br />"<i>The IMF have only one interest - sorting out the bank balance</i>"<br /><br />I'll believe that when I see them force the British Government to cancel the Olympic Games.

It is one of the few 'political' issues that still agitates people including many that are not even smokers.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-50971187249914429962010-05-11T00:53:36.151+01:002010-05-11T00:53:36.151+01:00Erm Leg, am confused - The Tories did the anti-EU,...Erm Leg, am confused - The Tories did the anti-EU, immigration, spounger job the previous three elections and got told where to go. <br /><br />This time, a mere 1-2% extra swing would have given them around 20 seats so how the hell are they meant to campaign?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798954949633278383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-60064139856301618492010-05-10T23:10:16.430+01:002010-05-10T23:10:16.430+01:00Wonderful choice of song - much as I hate/fear wha...Wonderful choice of song - much as I hate/fear what's about to happen I think it's probably for the best.
