Yes. I read today that the Tories will address this anomaly if they win the election, by re-arranging the boundaries and removing 60 seats.

Looking forward to this immensly. Will be a real testament to the voice of the nation if the tories win in 2010 and have a majority based on todays b0rked boundaries.

wildly hosing money around?

Oh dear, just had a horrid vision of McSnotty standing on Nelson's Column in T Square, with a giant fire hose between his legs hosing £5 notes all over the place saying "Yeah, havit, I AM THE KING OF THE WORLD"

At the last general election Labour polled seventy thousand fewer votes in England than the Conservatives, yet won ninety-two more seats. The Tory's 10 point lead probably brings them around level.

I suppose the people might accept economic incompetence in return for a government strong on .....

There is the small matter of an election but if we invade France I am sure everyone would be very grateful.

And we get access to nuclear power stations.

Boomed!!!

You just set me off by stating that the banks should be forced to lend !! Oh, the irony !!!!

No. That is what I think GB will do. I would do what Maggie would have done. Focus on the money supply and not spending more than we earn. Take the pain now and in 5 years we will have a decent economy.

I'd love to see other banks get nationalised. They certainly deserve that fate more than the Rock did. Isn't it ironic though that HMG stopped the Rock lending to repay their stupid loan by 2010, when all the other banks do not have this crazy restriction but are borrowing even more!!!!

Banks are still not lending much : I know libor coming down but banks trying to rebuild balance sheets.

Maybe he will nationalize them and force them to lend?

I expect we will see some radical measures soon.

It will be interesting to see how much tripe he comes out with in order to get to the 2010 elections - seems recovery may be limited till an election is over and done with?

Looks like that snap February election is off then. Looks like May 2010.

Any election in between is unlikely due to rising unemployment.

I wonder if GB will now throw caution to the winds over the economy?
