Start of the second week and I've had enough of the election already. The Today programme lasted about two seconds after it came on this morning. From now on the radio stays on 3. Where they still consider two minutes of news somewhere round about the hour is quite enough.

Frankly (1) I don't really want any of them running the country; (2) barring some epic event I know where my vote is going; and (3) since Dobson has one of the most solid Labour majorities in the country it won't make a blind bit of difference.

My money's on a 60 seat labour majority, much of which will want (in the foolish hope it'll actually make any difference) Brown rather than Blair sooner rather than later). I wonder if it would be different if Ken Clarke was running the Conservative party. Possibly, but given the "Daily Mailier than thou" tone of the campaign probably not.
