Why no date yet?

OK, the election is looming. Everybody knows it but we haven't had an announcement yet. Is it normal practice to leave it late in the day, or are Nu Labia trying to manage it so that nothing "kicks off" on the run up to the election.

My suspicion is the latter of course

Blair is scared he is going to lose so he is hanging on for as long as he can.

and every time the conservatives or lib dems come out with a policy idea, all of a sudden that is labia's policy as well!

Didn't know the Tories actually had any policies, and don't the Lib-Dems want to blanket Britian with a 25mph speedlimit, even on the M1, and increase road tax 200%, fuel tax 100%, new car tax 100%, income tax to 50%, ban this, ban that, and have an open door policy for every drop out passing through our ports? Nu labia? back at school are we?

Actually I've looked into this. The Tories have actually come up with some good policies that are actually quite moderate, but the problem is that before they can announce them Labour have put their Daily Mirror gloss on them and modified them to be biased secretly towards greater degrees of control.

At the moment, the Tories occupy the 'real' centre ground but Labour and the Lib Dems have convinced everyone that they're far-right loonies. Labour seems to be simultaneously right and left of the Tories (but authoritarian to the core), the Lib Dems occupy most of the left (unspoken partnership with the Greens) but like to convince everyone they're the party of the centre, and the likes of UKIP, Veritas and the BNP are in the far-right loony-land that Labour and the Lib Dems like to think the Tories are in.

All rather confusing, really.
