The inside track for those who need to know
It's Manichean dualism, stupid!
In the national interest (yawn, yawn) I have devoted my bloggable energies to the upcoming battle of the hustings. I am grateful to my blog-mate, KyrixLinx, for this briefing on the state of the parties (ie disarray).
Politics and economics, the two are inseparable, arent they? Well, not so sure: the economy is a basket case and yet the failed incumbent of
13 years is still in the race. The main parties have 'launched' their
manifestos, a word implying clarity, force and news - not much of them
to be seen in the Westminster revelations.
And the polls are wavering, waxing briefly, waning all too soon, exhausted but wily Brownies closing the gap only to be left by the next surge from the
fresh young, inexperienced Cameroons.
Plus ca change they cry, but all too soon it is revealed as toujours la meme chose.
Voters are not indifferent to the choices, they simply a) dont believe what they are told; and b) mistrust the politicians' own motives. We may yet
find a (relatively) high turn-out on May 6th, deviant local factors
from the national 'opinion poll' and a hung parliament to boot. If true
to type, they'll choose to hang together or, assuredly, they will hang
separately.

Blimey, lots of adverse reaction to this one. Not common knowledge, it appears, oh well, you can always use Google...
But a hung parliament favoured by the Independent this morning, says it all. Bad idea!
