I'm not. It'll be another round of criminals and jackasses - meaning professional criminals and jackasses, not the amateurs which NuLab has mostly thrown up.

NuLab could do with a stiff reminder where its loyalties should lie, but unfortunately without a credible progressive party in the UK we're left with a choice on a spectrum between bimbly well-meaning ineptitude and outright frothing racism.

Cameron is already preparing his short sharp shock of national austerity speech (for everyone except his City chums.)

Education? Health care? Transport? Climate change? Social investment? Infrastructure? Strategy and foresight?

No, I don't think so.

First things first: The unions get crushed.  I note the Tories' site -- what's with the stupid tree symbol? -- takes digs at Labour for union donations.

And American "Welfare-to-Work" has now been replaced by "Work for Welfare" over there.

Now that I think about it, looking through the agenda, is there anything in this that they didn't rob from the post-1994 US?

I'd say it's like the Bush administration for retarded people, but as no one among the Tories could possibly be as stupid as Bush, I'll conclude it's an act, and thus that it's even worse.

You're forgetting the Epic Fail that was the Thatcher legacy.

Stupid? Criminal? Self-serving and smug? Abusive towards the weak and poor?

When they say 'You can have it all', that's exactly what they mean.

Yes, that's true.  Bush is undoubtedly the bastard child of Reagan and Thatcher.

I'm going to have to wash my minds eye out with soap after that particularly nasty image.

See, now why ya gotta be like that?  The image didn't pop into my head until you mentioned it, and now I want to kill myself.

the stupid tree is that tree that tory candidates full out of, and hit every branch on the way to the ground.
