I think its going to keep swinging until the starting gate whistle is blown. These numbers will ensure that winky stays right to the end though.Tories will get in in the end. Thats the optimist in me saying that once people get to the polling station, they will be hard pressed to think of how wealthy they are right now - especially if they drove to the station and filled up just beforehand.
What happens if the day after the budget the papers say it is rubbish (as they have for the last few) and Winky bottles again? He will just hang on until the last possible moment, which means an election on 3 June. Then on 4 June, he will have to be dragged out of No. 10, kicking and screaming.

If the Tories do get back in i dread tot hink of all the stuff they are going to discover.
Actually interesting to think where we would be now with the banks etc if the Blues had won in 2005.
You know it has been proven in the past that lowering the tax burden on the individual actually reaps more in revenue.
I am in two minds whether this would work initially in a Conservative first term due to the absolute parlous state left by Gordo but they want to make small businesses less taxed (NI) which will encourage growth of the 'oh so hated by Labour' private sector. That's got to be good for the economy and ultimately revenue will rise.

Although you are going to tell people about your future plans, you also have to try and reconcile why you haven't done this earlier.
The difference between 97 and today is that things in 97 weren't actually that bad. We just got told by Labour it could be even better, despite them slamming all policies into reverse.
I find it interesting that the Beeb in particular are talking of a hung (or should that be hanged?) parliament and hence the greater influence of the Liberals.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of correlation between voting patterns and thoughts of a hung parliament i.e. does the thought of a hp change voter patterns and behaviours?
