I see the Russell Brand of the 2020s writing a Muse-ical.

Not mysteriously absent and they don't have to be lifelong die hards either. It's very possible that lots of people who have considered voting Lib Dem in the past just didn't bother because they saw it as a waste of time. I can imagine there being a couple of million people out there like that.

Poll added at the suggestion of Andy Est En Feu.FWIW (did I just use an internet acronym correctly?), I'm still deciding between three parties. Clue: it's not BNP - UKIP - Conservative

simmo wrote:Yup, the knives are well and truly out. It's remarkably aggressive. Who's watching round two?Seen bits of it. Mr Clegg isn't distinguishing himself so much this time, it seems. The others are being much more aggressive, which is great - shows just how much he's got them riled. The Lib Dems were the only party to vote against the war in Iraq, and also have a sensible, inclusive view on Europe, a fair policy on immigration - and, in Vince Cable, just about the only man arond in Westminster who saw the economic crisis looming. So they get my big fat 'X' come May 6th.

Did everybody see the cynical attacks on Clegg in the newspapers today?The press in this country sickens me.

The more I think about it the more I think shit is going to go down in 2010. Everyone is sleepwalking into the reality of the neo-liberal public sector massacre that is bound to come. Sector wide strikes and unrest. Stuff not getting done - civil unrest. Bankers sitting pretty. Hey, it might be fun.

John Prescott...attacked...by a man in a...John Prescott mask?What?
