isn't that what all prospective (and subsequently elected) Prime Ministers (and their governments) do though? certainly in living memory, anyway.
It's a two horse race between a public school educated old school tory who supports business over the family,
or vote in (for the first time) a returning Prime Minister whose idea of reaching the public is to liken the election and the responsibilities he has to Wayne Rooney's latest injury and to clean up the mess they were responsible for in business and banking.
It's one of the first years (since turning 18) that I'm actually entertaining the notion of not voting at all, and that idea saddens me a little :(

I've said it before and I'll say it againIt's only a two horse race because people believe it is.
It's like the London Mayorl election, but on a national scale.
Everyone was sick of Ken, Boris was a joke, but people are lazy/stupid/ill informed and didn't even consider anyone else.

and the only reason it's a two horse race is becausethe two main parties balance out the pros and cons of politics between them on a larger scale. (several policies at once, blinding the public with political science - it's the 'lesser of two evils' platform ) Sadly, the LibDems, although well intentioned, just don't cut it as a serious contender for power as they only focus on a smaller number of policies at any one time, often sparking people's imagination but never following it through to back it up with what else they would do. Clegg is wet flannel, and the only person I have any sympathy for in their party is Cable, and true legend amongst otherwise white noise.

But ....if the top two piss everyone off so much, why don't people do something about it?
It infuriates me. It's like that episode of the Simpsons when the aliens take over the US election, and say, "You have to vote for one us"

you've asked the key questionwhy don't people do something about it?
A. Because they can't, and being the 'lesser of two evils' platform, it boils down to voting against policies you hate less, to ensure that the policies you hate more don't get a chance to come to fruition.
If you look at the two main parties with reasonable objectivity over the past 25-30 years or so, look at how much further right Labour has swung, and how more open the Tories have tried to become to appeal to the 'middle voter'

I've genuinelylost heart as well. I used to at least take an interest in who ran our country and how, now I just feel whoever is hiking up taxes while living in the lap of luxury doesn't really matter, they'll all do an equally great job.
