Paul,
What signals are being sent here? It sounds like an obituary.
"God's own country", interesting.

"This government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level"

I prefer this

"This government SHALL have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level"

"Power corrupts, and absolute power..."

However, all the ridiculous things that Labour might want to do, will/might be slowed down by the House of Lords. At least, that's how I get to sleep at night these days! 

(The HoL was so much better when it was full of proper Peers, i.e. the hereditary ones. They had an interest in the long-term state of the UK. Now, thanks Tony Blair, it's full of political cronies and has-beens, so not to be trusted!)

Call me old-fashioned, but betting on elections doesn't do it for me.
Mtoto .. what a horse.

I've only once bet on an election, and I won. This was quite a surprise as I normally go by "It's not gambling if you know you will...lose."
