The next election is shaping up to be a seriously interesting clusterf*$#. You have the forever purse lipped and slightly clammy Dave, spooked by the scotland referendum, middle east reigniting and defections and Tory votes going to UKIP. Farage has become much more than just an annoyance. He's still reliant on the Lib Dems for power but the past coalition and the terminally ineffective Clegg have been disastrous for that party.


Daves announcement of income tax cuts for the squeezed middle without any indications as to what will pay for that is a cheap last ditch vote winning ploy given the current budget deficit. More will follow in the autumn statement in December.


Meanwhile poor Labour. Whilst all of the above holds true re Milliband, the thought of him as PM is laughable. Never has it had a leadership that lacks such backbone and conviction. I can see only one outcome - a toothless interim coalition, further public disillusion and the left moving further left and the right move further right.


And Boris?......seriously???


Never have I been less tempted to use my hard won right to vote.

It may be cheap, but it ought to do the trick.


Nothing says 'vote for me' quite like someone stuffing a fat roll of fifties into your top pocket.

    • How does one 'fight against...'?
    • that is one cliche-ridden post headnun    it doesn’t mean a sack of beans in the real world  “old fashioned voters” meaning the ones dragging the country down this last 15 years just to laugh at the libs tears. Well done all  I’m not looking back at all. This is not a post Europe world in any sense. There are forces bigger than Europe but uk would be better aligning with Europe against, say, china, the pretending we live in some post Europe world.    and in case you hadn’t noticed, whoever you vote for, there are a LOT of ignorant racists feeling very happy with their resurgence - I would fight against them if I were you 
    • No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.       
    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop
