It's been obvious this week from TV interviews that Ed M. has decided to discard his "I'm a quiet reasonable fellow" persona and has been brushing up on how to make himself appear a strong assertive leader. TV pundits expressed their admiration of his no notes speech, but considering he was a lecturer of politics at Harvard he's had plenty of practice.
What surprised me was the variety of different hand signal movements he made but I've come to the conclusion that this is his "make or break" convention and he probably looked up his old uni. philosophy notes to make sure he didn't miss out any positive hand gestures.

So, by your theory, if the Tories had been in power continously since the end of the war, everything would be hunky dory, would it? Maybe, but only if you never got sick or fell on hard times because the Tories sure as hell wouldn't have introduced the NHS or the Welfare State (and however much we may malign those institutions today, I'd still rather be with them than without them.). And before you say it, Jay, I think we'd be in an equally bad place, but in different ways, if Labour had been constantly in power since then!

No I'm certainly not saying that Wyn far from it, but we may still have a few bars of gold, tucked away, and I certainly believe that we wouldn't have had so much debt as we have now. Looking at it the other way, in what state would this country be in if Labour had been continuously in power since the war
