We are about halfway through the election campaign now, and my opinion of it changes every few days. I started off being really excited by it, watching a lot of news and tv, Reading the papers and so on. Then I think I got electioned out and sick of it. The Conservatives were alas going to win, and that was that. I was ready to volunteer to hand out leaflets for labour to do my bit, even if I thought it was lost cause. Then came the first tv debate. Nick Clegg the Lib Dem leader whose party was in a distant third place, won convincingly and suddenly it all started getting a bit interesting. Of course given the biased, unproportional voting system we have, it is near impossible for Lib Dems to win, but it is very possible that they will greatly increase their seats in parliament and have the balance of power if no side has a working majority. A hung parliament could be very interesting. The second tv debate was a draw really, and the ten point bounce in the polls remains. One final debate on the economy this week. 12 days to election day. More soon.
