If you need another reason to hope for a hung parliament

And then there's this memo by Tory lobbyist Peter Bingle saying that this is 'the most inept Tory campaign in living memory' and 'If David Cameron does not become PM on 6/7th May the electoral system will be changed. The first past the post system will be abolished and there will not be a Tory government for a very long time if ever again. Perhaps John Major will go down in history as the last Tory PM.'

(Please don't burst my bubble)

Nick Clegg looks more appealing by the minute.

LOL 'rubber microphone'. That's interesting about the Times.

This is all so brilliantly through-the-looking-glass, I keep hugging myself

Someone posted a Times link yesterday about the Lib Dems which seemed a bit twisted-knickers for the Times, they're usually quite sensible. That's a bit odd, I thought.

Then I suddenly realised how absolutely hopping mad Rupert Murdoch must be about this. He spends years manipulating and haranguing Lab/Cons to forward his agenda. Looks all set up to have Cameron come into power, with his sights set on buggering up the BBC and removing the broadcasting bias regulations (so we can have our very own Fox News, yay ).... only to find one TV debate puts the bloody LDs ahead in the polls!

A bit worrying the next debate is on Sky News: 'we have no idea how the itching powder got on NC's podium/why there was laxative in his water bottle/how he got the rubber microphone...'
