And Still They Bang On
There was never going to be a General Election today. But the media demanded one just to give themselves something to do, and the Tories demanded one because ... well, why? Such is the constituency map that they could not possibly have won, no matter what. They were told where to go, spat out their dummies, and have been wailing ever since, not least in the form of wholly made up stories about how Gordon Brown changed his mind because of opinion poll results. He was never in any doubt. Why would he be? Just look at the map: he can't lose while the Tories are still treated as a major party. Now grow up.
