All to Play For

Posted: Sat, 01 May 2010 20:31

A year ago the Tory press had decided this election was all over - Cameron just had to say nothing and keep smiling and he could walk into No10 with a 'massive' majority.

Well it doesn't look that way now does it. I will take pleasure at denying Cameron the keys to No 10 for 3 reasons.

First and foremost to stop him doing the damage the Tories did in the past to working people and public services. They have not changed and will do the same.

Second to deny Cameron. As many people will know I have deep distaste for his smug arrogance. To see that wiped from his face will give great pleasure.

Third - to see Murdoch humiliated. He has thrown everything at getting the Tories in to make sure his News International Empire is protected by the Tories and the attacks that will follow on the BBC. I hope the defeat of his attempts to buy the election will mean we all stand up to foreign media moguls damaging Britain.

There is all to play for. One third have people have yet to make their minds up. I find most I speak to are not wanting the Tories back. The horror of the 80s & 90s is still with them.

On all our figures Loughborough is a narrow 2 horse race which we can win. It will be a fascinating last few days as people start to finalise their choices!
