I wonder if he actually mentions it in the book (though not enough to buy it).<br /><br />The UKIP pretty much doubled from 2005 to 2010.

Hard to see why a particular criticism should be leveled here.<br /><br />Lord A's non-dom status was his own self made problem.<br /><br />Tories were an opposition hard to see why they would not criticise Brown.<br /><br />Lord A and everyone seems to forget the expenses crisis which turned people off politicians. No one wanted to listen about 'brands'<br /><br />The Ldss actually did worse than last time so the debate did not ultimately help.<br /><br />Tories had big swings where they could not win but smaller ones where they might have done. The voters were thinking about something.<br /><br />In any event the Tories won more seats than virtually for ever and labour lost more than virtually ever and the LDs lost seats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
