Put a chicken in the other chair then in D C - ED has nothing to lose a good debater ,and he will not be eating a bacon sandwich! DC is really a bully boy, and, his nickname flash man of a Etonian will haunt him over these T V debates now
His response is pathetic - his quotes come from Downton Abbey the Tory toff!

As a middle-class person it has to be Labour. Not very good but more in touch with my type of people. The Cons are for the very rich. The rest are hopeless and not taken seriously.

.....standing for any particular group means you don't get elected, that's why New Labour moved to the middle ground. I am concerned this Conservative party are really quite extreme under a cover of austerity. Given an overall majority severely cutting public services is ideology not cost cutting and when you have a Secretary of State suggesting limiting number of children for those on benefit and withdrawing allowances for the overweight you should take note.

There is no doubt that this government is just as cruel as Thatcher's.

The potential Green/SNP alliance could be interesting. They would have to form coalition with Labour, of course, but Labour would take this over a minority government any day.
