My UKIP candidate apparently is a climate change sceptic as well as a low tax Monarchist libertarian. What a worthless human being.

Oh yeah, won't someone think of the poor corporations and the 1%?

*extremely neoliberal voice* Actually because the government collects most of its tax through VAT and income tax to really increase the tax intake you want it to be wide over the population rather than deep.

Radio 4 PM had someone from the Economist saying why free market liberals think May sucks which was pretty fun. I really do wonder now if Mays godawful performance will speed up the split between wet and dry Tories even as their lead narrows.

This will work a bit but the Tories are in a loving state it'll be hard to make any coalition look worse than a party which is failing to make public appearances and whose leader is actually in hiding a week before the election.

The press will try of course.

Edit: It'll probably come too late to help but monthly NHS data is released this Thursday as well so around lunchtime you might start hearing more reports about missed targets.

It will be interesting to see what groups end up voting what because there really seem to be so many conflicting factors aimed at encouraging or alienating all groups from all parties and so many old and new tactics getting used and the polls are vague about the result at this point it's maddening.
