It took 14 years and 5 prime ministers for them to realise how shit they were, and the best alternative they could think of was red Tory.

    I mean, it worked for them last time they got in as well.

    Tony Blair didn't sweep to power under a banner of socialist reform. He got in by being slightly less shit than the people we were all sick of.

    Our electoral system keeps us in a cycle of this by design. And Farage will just be Tories Extra.

    I can't really trust any of them. I suspect Corbyn would have an authoritarian streak a mile wide as well, but he's not going to get in anyway.
