I wouldn't go as far as to say class was a factor - mainly anger. <BR/><BR/> I hope I don't fall into the same trap of picking a party and then nailing the colours but at least we have a genuine divide, a capable opposition and legitimate concerns that we're off to hell in a hand cart.<BR/><BR/> Not all lefties are bluster but many are.
