What is quite clear is that there is no leadership, only slimy career politicians trying to slither to the top of the greasy political pole or desperately trying to cling on if they are at the top. Biggest election non-event I've ever known. Defence is screwed whoever gets in, in this ever increasingly dangerous world. At the end of the day it is the economy stupid and the Tories have partially got it back on track, where they are slightly better on this than the others, whereas Millipede is the UK's answer to Hollande who has kept the French economy in a permanent recession, with stagnation at best. IMO many floating voters will play safe, when their hand is wavering over the ballot paper, like in 1991 with Major against
Pillock Kinnock.
Personally, I think the electorate deserve butter, until you realise that 80% don't care as long as knobenders and it's ilk is available for hour after hour every night to keep them in their zombiefied state or they vote t'labour as their dad does and his dad did before him and then you think maybe the majority are getting the politicians they deserve.
My daughter typifies this, where she lives in her own virtual world. Could name every knobender actor / actress and who they play but would struggle to name a politician. Doesn't understand politics, doesn't want to understand politics, will only vote if mum shows her how to and which box to put a cross in, which is understandable as she is youngster of only 27 years of age.
Interesting series of articles by the journalist Ben Judah, where he has been touring Britain and also following some of the leaders for Politico magazine. Clegg one particularly interesting:
