they should rechristen themselves the 'not quite as conservative' party, or 'almost distinguishable from the tory' party...

or boring old fraudulent farts party.

cameron's gonna cream the election, i'm beginning to wonder how it would be worse, tbg will doubtless enlighten me.

as for the bnp, that's too nasty to contemplate...

if brown's labour party is the bulwark holding that back then britain's in deeper shit even than i thought.

I scanned the Daily Mirror yesterday. The working class voice!

Two items - one was a feature praising the robust effectiveness of McCain's speech. The other was an op ed which said 'The UK is full! Immigrants go home!'

So - the working classes who don't vote for Cameron will vote for the BNP.

I'd guess there's also going to be a significant switch from some of the more hardcore Labour voters to the BNP. I wouldn't be so very surprised to see the BNP winning a seat or ten.

Nu Lab meanwhile has become a failed middle class party. It's going to be eaten from the top by the Tories and from the bottom by the racists.

A few of the more well intentioned types will move to the Lib Dems. But by avoiding the malodorous prole vote, the Lib Dems have doomed themselves - and possibly the entire country.

excellent synopsis, tbg!

too bad about the lib dems, clegg talks a good line, but it seems the libdems are the tweedledoo party to go to if tired of tweedledee and tweedledumb.

so the whole menu stinks.

i hope sven's right and something more co-operative comes along to vote for, something europewide.

screaming lord sutch'd do a better job than this lot.

Unfortunately, that's only going to lead to more Blairism, as Labour becomes more and more frightened of losing the middle.  And all Cameron's got to do is talk nice and not do anything too stupid in order to win.
