The Importance of Being Earnest

Three debates done and dusted so who's going to be President, sorry Prime Minister.
All three of them looking directly into the camera imploring a sceptical public to pleeease believe them, they really are telling the truth this time.

He didn't do particularly well in the first leg but we seem to have had the second Caming and Digital Dave looks to be in front having largely ignored Dear Prudence during the whole third leg.
Gordon really is a marvel of physical dexterity. How one man can manage to shoot himself in both feet while having them wedged in his mouth is quite astonishing, he may actually pick up a few sympathy votes as he takes on, more and more, the look of an old dog that's finally had a kicking and been thrown out for crapping on the carpet.
Cleggie continues to win the charm offensive and prances about on any broadcast media available fluttering his eyelashes at the other two with an inviting "Well I might" dangling the mouth watering possibilities of sharing a red box or two. Gordon is positively gagging at the prospect as no one else will even look at him and is still trying to pull Clegg but Cleggie keeps pushing him off though it may end up that he's the only date not taken for the prom.
Dave is playing hard to get and says he wont share power at all, it's his ball and he's going home. So we can write that school report already......
Doesn't play well with others


...and so it goes on, all three of them dancing around telling us via the drooling hacks whatever they think will get them the most votes. Of course it has to be the truth but we are talking political truth here.
"Whatever I tell you three times is true"
They, collectively, are the Bellman and Mr and Mrs Voter are the mythical Snark.
Listen out for the phrases like, we have no plans to, we fully intend, it's a problem that needs addressing etc etc and then realise how many lobby correspondents and political hacks there are in relation to the number of MP's. All there to expain what they actually mean when they're truthfully lying through their teeth.

They will continue to be all over us like a cheap suit until 10pm on the 6th then, when all the votes are counted and we can have no further effect on the next 5 years, we will be chucked out of the window to be swept away with the Maccy's boxes, squashed  kebabs and alcopop bottles.
Then we can all go back to what we usually do which is to survive by going round, through or under the obstacles they place in our way.
