The point is ... the opposition ought to be miles in front (if they had any hope of winning) !
Wait till the campaign starts !
Can you imagine the tube campaign?
Pic of Bob Crow (from Unite) with the caption "Did you suffer in the last tube strike?"
followed by the punchline -
Do you really want the man who owns Red Ed to be in power again ?
There is of course another option.Was dining with a certain conservative Association the other day. |

I'm talking about our first past the post electoral system.It's loaded in favor of Labour at the moment.
All hypothetical, Pat !
If Ukip eat into Labour's vote (as they did in the Shameless election last week !) and the usual Labour "supporters don;t turn up (!!!) it's totally open.
With the way the economy, unemployment, inflation etc etc are going at the moment quite likely the Tories will overtake the opposition before the next election (AND Labour will have to reveal their policies too !)
That alone should put several million OFF !
Remember - Kinnock was 20 points in front (NOT 3 or 4 points) - AND LOST !
People always oppose the sitting government - but when it comes to the crunch !
"Labour’s lead over the Conservatives has dropped to just one point amid signs that the Tories are making headway in the crucial political battle over living standards, according to an opinion poll for The Independent.
Some 39 per cent of people agreed with the statement that their family’s finances would be better off with David Cameron and George Osborne than with Ed Miliband and Ed Balls, but only 28 per cent agreed when the statement was reversed to say they would be better off with the Labour leader and shadow Chancellor than the Prime Minister and Chancellor.

The electoral system doesn't work that way ITK.
You seem to have forgotten that after the 2010 election (on May 6th) Brown was desperately trying to "win over" the Lib Dems so he could remain in power (even though the Tories had won most seats) !!!
It was only after the talks with both sides (and Brown finally realizing he had lost) that he actually resigned as PM on May 11th !
Trust ITK - you know he's always right !

'For every 1,000 voters who voted for them in #GE2010 how many have they retained?#LABOUR
#LABOUR 731
#CONSERVATIVES 679
#LIBDEMS 255'

Not so bad for The tories,but The looney libs look like being down to between 10-20 seats.
In fact if you go back to 1970 look how the Libs did then.
6 seats, 7.5%.
They're only 2% higher now. |
