Indeed.

I live in one of the safest seats in the UK, so my MP will probably spend the next election campaign on a beach somewhere. Which is what the ruling classes should be doing all the time instead of interfering in the minutae of people's lives.

Bill McKay, professor of contractual physics at Reading University, said: "Let me try to explain this in layman's terms. Harriet Harman is an unbearably ghastly human being who will say and do anything to become leader of the Labour Party."

Public opinion only matters when it agrees with the Nu Labour point of view. If it does not then you have the line that it is not governments role to pander to public opinion. If everything was down to public opinion there would be no duty on booze, fags or petrol and hanging would be back. I'm not saying that this should happen but the govt wouldn't introduce it simply because the public wants it.

The court of public opinion says that Brown f***ed up the economy, Harman thinks she is Napoleon Bonaparte, and the labour party will leave office with the country in a right mess. Again.
