  • There are folks on Twitter surmising that this is the actual Tory strategy ... tank the economy and then let Labour in, knowing they can't fix anything in one election cycle.

    The only wrinkle in that plan (apart from the fact that this is too smart a move for those in power) is that the Labour Party are likely to vote positively on adopting a more representational electoral system at their conference. If they do so, and they get in and actually enact that, the Torys will find it incredibly difficult to get back in.

    Except they won't. If they get elected they suddenly think "oh! FPTP is okay after all"
