This week, I have to admit, the UK election has moved into a cruising speed, and is getting boring. No one will dispute that this campaign is actually getting to be somewhat dull, but what is being seen is that Labour seems to be moving ahead. New polls from the BBC seem to show Labour solidifying at around 38-39%, with the Tories stuck somewhere in the low 30s, while LibDems hover at the 20%-mark. Charles Kennedy has not gotten the 'baby-bounce' that many predicted a few days back, but time will tell. Lord know, he made a cock-up of his election manifesto launch yesterday, when he could not explain his tax provisions. But, due to the fact that he is a new dad, many are cutting him some slack, given the lack of sleep associated with a newborn baby in the house. On the ground, the LibDems were outside Richmond station this morning, pumpimg up their transport policy. I was acosted by a middle aged North American whom I quickly learned is the husband of the LibDem candidate. The candidate, incidentally, used to run th Chicago transport network, so she may know something about how to fix the mess of a privatized rail network. Needless to say, her husband certainly knew more about this than the Tory candidate did last week. By the way, sorry for no post yesterday. The news was rightly dominated by this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1569915,00.html Post a comment in response: |
