OK, I admit it, this title is a slight misquote from Hinge and Bracket (which I defend in the interests of decorum, being unable to reproduce the full context of the original here). Think of it as a political oscillation between Left and Right!
Today Nick Hubble (Fortune and Freedom), as so often, hits our democratic hoax squarely on the head:
"Labour will consider its election victory as a mandate for its bizarre policies. Rather than as a rejection of the Conservatives for theirs.
Given the policies are the same, this means electing Labour will only worsen our misery"
"We may well be stuck with Labour in the end. But perhaps we should be grateful. Because we’ve got clowns to the left of us and jokers to the right"
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
(NB: this is offered neither as financial advice, nor as party politics, but as a glimpse of what is probably as close to the truth as we can get)
