It would be agreeable if Britain had a replay of Canada’s 1993 election and UKIP just destroys the Cameron Tories, but it looks like that’s not going to happen and UKIP may pick up 20 odd seats.

The British Conservatives are adept at being a fantastic disappointment. After Mrs. Thatcher’s departure, they returned, like a gyroscope, to their usual craven and temporizing stance. And we’re stuck with Boehner and McConnell.

“Why the election is stumping the bookies

Um, because there ISN’T a rebound?
The UK’s GDP for Q1 just printed at 0.3%. (note, that’s still 0.1% ahead of the US! LOL!)

Yep. Their trajectory mirrored ours.
Both countries benefitted from CONSERVATIVE leaders. Once those leaders were gone, the establishment sycophants and hangers-on returned to their corrupt ways.

I feel more sympathy for those four cops who took fire because of Mike Huckabee than for him taking fire from Glenn Beck.
