Well it seems to me its labour who are getting desperate.
If they've done such a good job, why can't they have a poster campaign about all the wonderful things they've done for the country?
The reason they don't is because as usual, they prefer personal attacks and smear campaigns. Has anyone seen a tory poster that attacks ANY labour minister by name? Thought not

- So tell me, what is the difference beyween that laughably sad 'Demon Eyes' campaign showing Tony Blair with - wait for it - 'demon eyes' (I kid you not ) or the latest tory poster showing Blair and Gordon Brown looking like they're boxing each other?

labour is seemingly headed for another victory, yes. but you seriously think this would be the case if there was a valid and strong alternative?
I am seriously thinking about spoiling my vote as a protest as there isnt a government that could represent me or, IMO, our country's interests as well as they should.
everytime i watch PMQ's (on average about once a month), all i hear is tony blair attacking the tory record of EIGHT years plus ago.
so labour should rise above it.
exactly what i said about personal vendettas. posters such as this (i havent seen the latest one youve mentioned) are pathetic.

- Be fair Gareth, that is only part of it.
PMQ's is all about that kind of thing. It is showmanship and theatre. It has never been any different. It most certainly is not where the work is done in British politics and never has been.
