if Labour look like Labourites in flat caps and Tories like Toffs in bowler hats it would be all so much easuer.
I mean that. The way they dress is a symptom of what they have become-morphed into 2 branches of the one party. Like the Repubs & Dems in the USA.

I couldn't agree more, JK. I've always thought it's a sign of some deep character flaw. Gordon Brown, unsurprisingly, used to be the worst - always wearing red, like a schoolboy anxious to display the right badge on his blazer lapel. It's grossly immature and semiotically shallow.
Another irritation is businessmen who always wear pinstripe: and usually not even well-tailored pinstripe, with the strip matching at the stitiching between shoulder and arm! Horrid.

Tories who wear blue ties; Labour red; Libs yellow - get over it! Rebel! Do not conform!
Coalition people blaming past Governments - get over it! Move on! I hate the Blame Game.
Opposition people slagging off the Government.
Get over it! Be constructive! Stop picking holes; make positive suggestions.
