Is the next general election the one to lose?

Really? Got a source for that?

Nah just various articles in the papers, which reading between the lines it looks like they wouldn't invest in jobs/bail out the banks (so i assume they would just let em go tits up and pay out up to £50,000 to each saver?)- just give meaningless VAT holidays to businesses etc

The media has a terrifying power over the way people think and act, most people take their preferred news medium as a purveyor of absolute gospel truth; when in reality most papers blur the lines between reporting, editorialising and simply lying as a matter of course....

But people won't believe the media if they say something too far from their preexisting opinions.

In my perfect world, Labour would be the largest party after the next election, but without a majority, so that the Lib Dems could form a coalition on the basis that Vince Cable becomes Chancellor. We might have a chance of getting out of this mess before my daughter's drawing her pension, in that case.

I'd have thought a Tory-Lib Dem coalition is more likely.
