Over the past 30 odd years the elections have been fought on issues such as employment, inflation, the economy,
I find it interesting that this time the issues have been far less general.
It would indicate to me that , altough they have taken a while to do it, the current government have got the "big things" just about sorted and can now concentrate on the next next batch of issues
Personally I feel that had the conservatives had some meaningful policies and had thought them through fully, concentrated on what they can do for the country as opposed to knee jerk reactionism as well as not just slagging the government off, they may well have made this one a lot tighter.
I think it shows how far the country has come in the past few years that one of the major issues this election was fought on was one which personally affected very few people, the Iraq war, sure beats the selfish, "what can I get out of this" style of the Thatch years
