A conspiracy of silence. "They may disagree in public, but privately they couldn't agree more. On the single most important issue facing the country after this election, our politicians think it's better to keep us in the dark." Nuff said. [Link] (Stephanie Flander's blog. BBC economics editor)
Update 11pm (UK): And apparently the media are starting to get frustrated with a lack of relies from politicians. Tomorrow's newspapers courtesy of Tim Montgomerie.

Ooops...Freudian slip in the text: instead of "lack of relies" should read lack of replies, I won't bother editing it.
I think politicians have shown utter contempt for the electorate during this campaign. You and I have both touched on this before, I think the Conservatives would win the election and a lot of kudos if they said it's a mess and give us five years to sort it out. If not I still can't see them winning a majority, particularly after their dreadful attempt at humour in their election broadcast last night.
Hi Paul...no comment. Digesting the Barca semi and still gob-smacked at "bigotgate" although that fits in nicely with your words. I think Brown lost the election today. Not two years ago, not the debt, not the lies, not the gold, not the pensions, not FSA, not bullygate, not smeargate...today, on the street...he had won her over. She is solid Labour, everyone knows someone like her, she congratulated him on his answers (although not entirely content), she told the press she would still vote Labour...until she was told what he had said...jeez...I really cannot get over such a major gaffe.
It's all gone Pete Tong.
