    Most of what I have posted has some sarcasm attached. However, it will have to be the 2nd largest swing of all time for the cons to get in and also the media are painting a very chippr picture of the world right now. Makes you wonder.

    My only concern at the moment is to get a clear sense of direction. An election is well overdue. Who ever is in power has enormous structural financial deficits to deal with.

    The infighting within the Labour party has no interest to me. Pity that they (them being labour MP's) are more interested in preserving their pensions. Than giving their ineffective leadership a kick up the backside. If they did I might feel more inclined towards them.

    We need to prepare ourselves for the biggest swing of all time then, because the conservatives won't just win by a narrow majority. NuLab's house is subsiding. They can paint over the cracks all they like and even talk up the economy a bit, but they can't win back trust.

    Point being it's remarkable what a rebrand can achieve - perception wise.

    NuNu Labour sounds like the full name of a character from the Tellytubbies. Wouldn't want them in power either.
