		<description><![CDATA[In fact, I suspect that there is a parallel between the General Election of 1992 and that of 2010 except that the result for the incumbent was different in the short term. Although due to the débâcle of the ERM ejection, the Tories had lost their “Good with the Economy” label, the electorate weren't quite sure about trusting Labour so John Major won with a workable but narrow majority that was to be torn apart by the EU issues in the end but, got the Tories re-elected in 1992.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Opposition is always difficult if only because the Government of the day holds all the cards, it is difficult to look anything but rather impotent for most of the time in the public's mind. This is made worse today by the inevitable narrowing of choice as dictated by the current economic situation. In the end though, only change is constant and just like Cameron in opposition had to accept the then accepted wisdom that the economy was doing well under Brown and he would "share the proceeds of growth", so too today Labour has to accept the logic of "cuts" albeit belatedly]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The very worse thing that anyone, especially a “Sunday Atheist” like Hitchens could have is a drooling, dribbling Eulogy” from the likes of Richard Dawkins, the “Jeffrey Archer” of published atheists. An insult that is on a par with Barbara Cartland reciting a eulogy over the corpses of Romeo and Juliet, very sad ending indeed if not downright insulting !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course as nothing was achieved inside the Eurozone to change anything, the British Veto and it being a country outside of the Euro was irrelevant, the 'Markets' will decide and pounce when they please on a Eurozone that has abrogated responsibility for the value of its currency to the 'Markets' alone without any political leadership or direction from the totally incompetent French and German Leadership.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Cameron is caught between his LibDem partners who were always bottom licking Euro Fanatics and his Right Wing backbenchers who are the complete opposite. His personal aim was to avoid having to deal with the EU in any meaningful way during this Parliament but circumstances in the Eurozone have thrust this upon him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real problem is not the vote itself which is not binding on the Government anyway and by allowing a free vote with a couple of “Trusty Lieutenants” detailed off to insert amendments that took away any particular time lines by which said Referendum must take place, so easy to manage and the fact that this wasn't done raises more alarm than enough.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fox has probably done the best job possible under difficult circumstances and in no small way, this was due to the political clout he carries with the Right Wing of the Tory Party. Sometimes “correct thins” are done by politicians for the wrong reasons as in Brown keeping us out of the Euro whilst really doing so to spite Blair who wanted us in rather than for any sound fiscal reason.]]></description>
