This business about the tories not getting a majority despite a terrible run of luck for GB, a huge recession etc etc.
Talking to DH, I reckon that it will be new labs lasting legacy that voters have become more fluid and open to changing sides.
When newlab came a lot of the old style labour left and voted for a party other than labour for the first time ever. Ditto they won support from people who were traditionally conservatives.
Now that people have been "freed up" to vote for parties other than the one dictated by their upbringing/area of the country/job type etc etc I don't know that we'll ever see this huge majority one way then the other way stuff again.
DH thinks it's all changed forever.
I think we will also see more people voting for minority parties - I mean teh greens getting in in brighton will make people think a bit...
So bring on PR and let's have a shiny new way of doing it all (please )
