Gordon Brown signs his death warrant

[PBI]

I certainly don't expect much improvement from a Tory party who seem incapable of peddling much more than vague pessimism (Britain is Broken? Speak for yourself) and ideas that Jeremy Clarkson would describe as "funny, but a bit too simplistic" (move everyone in Liverpool to London, etc). Since there is no real prospect of a Lib Dem victory my preferred outcome for the next election would be a hung parliament.

As to your original question, does Britain have an underlying philosophical tradition? I confess I didn't really understand the question. Perhaps that is you answer.

Sorry for you liberal lefties but the tories are a shoo in come the general election.

I fear that is probably true.
