Brilliant again Jonty. The only problem I have with this is that, if you are right that the Tories will be out of power for over a decade, then the Labour Party, in its current state, will get things badly wrong as well, and the country will continue its post-colonial decline. We need some radical systemic reforms, starting immediately, after the next GE, and none of the opposition parties seem capable of delivering that.
I agree with that, but it is hard to see how it can be done, at least quickly. Changing the captain and crew may be one thing (and welcome indeed), but changing the course the tanker is on is a greater undertaking altogether
