		<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[In one sense we seem to be judging present day Politicians in this “warrior leader” mould when in all reality, it long ceased to exist, the last English King to anywhere close to this model being Henry Tudor (VII) who took the Crown from Richard III. Since that time and for all the fuss, whether King or Parliament, all leadership is constrained by the “system” and Prime Ministers are at best “Chairmen of the Board.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clarkson is a 51 year old buffoon with "previous", he is not and never has been rated as a "serious expert" on anything social or political. Even Top Gear as a programme format is escapist, boys toys in its whole content. You don't watch the programme to get an “in depth analysis” on some boringly frugal car that most of us are condemned to drive out of necessity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[the most pointless exercise that anyone could imagine this year. Just how does any Party Leader following 13 years in power that resulted in abject failure, “Rally His or Her Troops” ? The answer of course is that you can't except lead them off into some cloud cuckoo land where they feel 'comfortable'.]]></description>

Either the public "expectation" changes of what the NHS is for and should deliver or else, "Free at the Point of Need" will quietly slip into the past, unnoticed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst it produces a 'middle class' of those employed in these new and imported industries, they are only 'middle class' compared with the abject rural poverty of where they came from. The likely result whether in India, China, Brazil, Russia or the “BRIC” economies is that roughly 10% will be lifted out of poverty but for the other 90%, the grinding poverty will remain the same...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being "In Power" has most likely shed a lot of "middle class jam makers" but in turn, it may well have 'browned the knees' of the LibDems in terms of the broader public seeing them as a viable potential government in their own right, only time will tell on the National stage but I'm sure that more dire news awaits them in May.]]></description>
