Bob, it's still not going to save Gordo's lot, old son.

James, I may well agree with you. But the way I see it, Cameron has got two choices. He either continues to act like Blair-lite, in which case the Tories will tear either him or themselves to pieces... or he goes all Howard/Hague on us, which means the electorate will boot him out at the first opportunity.

Either way I don't see a long term Tory government because his majority will be too small if he gets one at all. So I suspect a coalition with Clegg's yellow tories is on the cards, 'cos they'll jump in to bed with anyone who'll offer them some crumbs from the table.

It's seldom said by socialists, but, yes, Brussels is hell. Well said.

I do not see a long term Tory government either, sadly I do not see a short term labour government either. Unless labour can prove it's not going to follow on from Cameron, I think we have had enough of Tory ism for a while how about getting back to real Labour ism for a while..
