Always look on the bright side of life ...

I know Dave is known for his cheery positive outlook on the state of the left, ok bit sarky, but this post is spot on, if depressing.

I know many will be saying oh well , Labour are no better. Hmmm, as someone who lived under the Tories I think there is a difference, however slight. One area will be that of women's rights and the Tories pushing their pro (straight, married) families agenda that Duncan Smith is pulling together. Its highly likely that with more Tories in the Commons that Nadine Dorries, and her assorted god bothers, will push through attacks on women's right to choose. The Tories aren't really cuddly and when they win they tend to get more arrogant .

Dave is right, this won't be a one term government and by the second the gloves will be off. Watch what Boris does, never mind booze bans, I think there will be more to worry about. Already he has said he will not renew the oil deal with Venezuela, leading to the removal of cut price fares for those on income support. Expect more of the same, he is not playing to inner London , but the Daily Mail suburbs.

Anyway, reading Dave's post reminded me of this...
