Great blog! It seems only last night, another political phenomenon was born, thanks to Mr Cameron – that of continuous day and night campaigning. Are the tories the new ’24-hr Party people’? To misquote the Beastie Boys, is it a case of ‘NO…SLEEP…’TIL THURSDAY!’?
In Canada we have enjoyed 3 horse races for a generation at least. The parties are sort of a combination of UK and US- Conservative, Liberal and NDP.(New Democratic Party). People need choices beyond Bad or Worse.
ChoiceGate has hit the UK!
What was a two-horse race now has a fly in the ointment — funnily enough, in Scottish English, a ‘cleg’ or ‘clegg’ is a word for ‘horsefly’, a fact made much of recently by Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/apr/19/scottish-tories-attack-nick-clegg). We shall see tomorrow just how irritating & painful the ‘clegg bite’ may or may not be to the Tories & Labour, & indeed the SNP…
That wa interesting to read.We never have this kind of rush in our country and for me personally politics is the matter of wasted time.
