Back Soon
If I do get to a computer either on Friday afternoon or on Saturday at lunchtime, then it will be for very brief periods. Normal service will be resumed on Monday afternoon.

Wheraes Clegg is posh enough and right-wing enough to stop the shift in support to the Tories, and posh enough and right-wing enough to alienate those who have in recent years shifted to the Lib Dems from Labour.
To counter him, the Tories won't find anyone posher than Cameron, simply because no one possibly could be. But they'd have no trouble finding someone more right-wing. Cameron is finished.
Sooner or later, at least some of the Tories are going to decide that, if they're going to win a General Election, then they might as well have a Tory as PM after it.
