The press is undoubtedly biased, but also I think we have to recognise that the public will always vote for the candidate with the most sociopathic character and this for the UK pretty much goes back to 1979. Anyway its probably just as well Labour didn’t get in. The housing bubble wont last forever despite the conservatives doing everything in their power to extend it and the economy and pound will certainly go into freefall at some stage over the next five years, for which the incumbents will get the blame.

The problem also is that the downtrodden don’t vote in sufficient numbers to make a difference. Its mostly the middle class and they are voting for the party that is promising them tax cuts. Also they were concerned about the focus on Scotland which would be overwhelming had Labour and the SNP governed. It seems like long term the union is in danger anyway, which is probably a good thing.

The UK also had a referendum on AV which they rejected as it appeared to be a referendum on whether you liked Nick Clegg ( the former liberal democrat) at the time. They didn’t and thus sealed their fate.
