I'm starting this thread in the (probably vain) hope that people might use it to fight their political duels, thus keeping the other threads free for general SG musings.
I surely can't be the only one who's finding it rather tiresome that some people have the burning desire to express their political views on every thread?

I do find it puzzling that people are getting so much more animated now than they did in 1998, the last time a party that had got in partly on anti-tuition fee pledges to students turned out to be mendacious scum. Not that the riots will do any more good than our rather mild-mannered marches did but still, good on them.
It's a favourite LibCon-ism to warn of UK becoming the next Greece or Portugal or Spain as they scaremonger about UK teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. I'd just like to ask Cameron,Clegg,Osborne how much have they reduced the deficit by and where would they like their rockets on Nov.5?
