Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

I'm afraid there are too many votes in the Daily Mail reading constituency. so even though the government commission says that the rules should stay in their "Liberalised" state, the government has decided that the best thing to do electorally is to pander to the authoritarians of the right.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Because implementing right-wing policies is how the left wins elections. How's the lack of contrast working out for Brown in the polls, again?
