I wish the government would take the bull between the horns and declare a General Election now and without waiting to 6 May.
There is so much party politicking at the moment, it’s enough to drive you nuts trying to work out which party promises the most sensible policies while, at the same time, the Labour party can’t explain if, why their policies are so good, they haven’t implemented them until now.
There’s an interesting leader in The Independent this morning which suggests that a closely fought election would be a tonic for our democracy. There is much sense in this and I quote part of it.
‘For most people, who are not members of any party, a keenly fought campaign can only be a good thing. Landslide victories tend to follow lifeless campaigns in which the party that knows it is about to taste office (again) sinks into complacency and arrogance. If both main parties know they are in with a chance, the result may be bruising and sometimes ugly but the plus side is that party leaders will have to be more precise about their policies than they might choose to be, and will not be able to coast along on bland slogans about "change" or "investment versus cuts".’
This is right, of course. But I do wish they would hurry up and get on with it!
