“I don’t like ConHome because it is usually full of those old style ‘nasty Tories’.”

I try to do my bit for the “nice Cameronite Tories” there - they do exist, honest.

Yes, the seats distribution is grotesquely distorted in Labour’s favour at the moment. There is still something up the Tories’ sleeve though - the swings will probably be biggest in the marginal seats (like they were in the 1992 and 1997 when a change of government was a real possibility).
This problem has been around a while actually - Labour won 209 seats in 1983 for 28% of the vote, while the Conservatives only won 165 seats in 1997 for 31% of the vote.

Oh that dreaded left/right question! I’m just nice. ‘Left or right?’ seems a bit 20th century, agree? disagree?

I don’t like ConHome because it is usually full of those old style ‘nasty Tories’.
David Cameron is doing a good job with his Tory decontamination process - but it looks like all the NASTIES fled to that particular website.

I like the blogger Kos from Daily Kos. He is a sensible chap and he has his finger on the pulse. Which is why I like Uncle Ed Vaizey. And Dizzy too.

Could that be because you are left-wing canvas? CH is mainstream conservative, Daily Kos is strong left.

I really don’t like that website - and try NEVER to click on it.

Read the views of Kos from Daily Kos. One of the biggest political blogs in the USA…

That’s more interesting.
