And no one really cares do they?

Well, not really, no. Although it virtually guarantees another Labour term in office.

I would normally care, but all I can find to say is that it opens the centre right up for Labour and leaves the Lib Dems as the only moderately left-leaning party in the Commons. Should make the British political scene more like some of the other European countries'.

I've a feeling the whole world will be shifting to the right.

The tories take another giant step backwards from the real world and up their own arseholes, and a nation yawns.

Hague's "opposition" was so uninspired and worthless, I don't know whether IDS can do worse, but it will probably still hover around the "pathetic" mark. Hopefully the Lib Dems will become the official opposition at the next election and we can forget about the tories entirely.

If the electoral process still exists in three, four years time, I'll be pleased. It's difficult to anticipate how the world will change.

And who has Duncan-Smith chosen as his shadow cabinet? A bunch of people who, like him, are losers and voter unfriendly. Michael Howard and that oliver Letwin bloke who managed to make the Conservatives seem less capable than Labour of managing the economy at the last election.

I'm seriously tempted to have a bunch of flowers sent to Conservative Central Office now with the message, 'sorry to hear you lost the 2005 election'.

The good news is that if the Lib Dems get their act together they're in with a good chance of becoming the main opposition at the next election. It just seems that they're even less interesting with Kennedy at the helm.
