A Labour Shoe-In

What could be simpler for Ed, ahead in the opinion polls, to just sit back and rely upon his core vote to carry him over the line and into No 10?  The continued loyalty of the stalwarts can be assured by the usual offerings of banker and utility company bashing, price freezes, state intervention, and mansion taxes, all served with a liberal dose of old fashioned Labour envy

What could possibly go wrong? "Events my dear boy!"

Stand by for a barrage of cobbled together policy activity as Ed tries to shore up his defecting Scottish party and, simultaneously, appeal to the rest of the electorate he forgot to mention.

We all smiled grimly when told "go to bed with Nigel Farage and wake up with Ed Miliband."  Now, the hitherto grotesque thought of going to bed with Nicola Sturgeon is replaced by the altogether more delightful prospect of waking up with David Cameron!
