David Cameron has been compelled to rapidly ditch his Brown-centric message and turn his fire, in rather non-specific terms on Nick Clegg. But he still making the fundamental error of forever talking nationally rather than seeing the sense of speaking to the voter. On Sunday and Monday Dave implored the electorate not to vote in a way which would result in a hung Parliament.
How is Mr Average Voter meant to respond to this message? Is he expected to pause at the ballot box working out how to best achieve a "decisive Government"rather than just chosing one of the names before him?
Dave and his Campaign Director Osborne appears to be addressing us collectively. It reminds me of those announcements on the London Underground in the rush hour, "Please use all available doors." To which we think to ourselves, "But I can only use one door."
When asked about his vehement opposition to a hung Parliament Cams replied with an ironic smirk," can you really expect politicians to work so well together?"
I thought, firstly "You are a politician so it's no good trying to distance yourself from 'them'. Second, the rest of Europe seems to manage OK. And third why should we respect politicians inability to work co-operatively under difficult circumstances when that is exactly what millions of people do in the working lives all the time?
