A heliograph tempestuously at play.

I agree. I think it's amazing that despite how long Labour have been in and how unpopular they, and particularly Brown are, the Tories STILL aren't a shoe in! Even the FT which is an amoral capitalist paper was saying that the "voters aren't sure if the Tories have changed", so even the FT admits that most people would pretty much need to be tricked into voting for them! I mean, they probably are going to get in, but I'm consoling myself by thinking of the cock-up and consequent PR distaster they're going to make out of it.
