I'm prepared to say better the devil you know to be honest. I think a lot of people feel the same way, even if they won't voice support for Gordon Brown publicly.

Cameron's Tories are highly creepy and I know their policies will favour the rich over the poor, with tax breaks for the wealthiest estates and VAT increases for the plebs like us. And I just instinctively dislike the smug, PR-spun little public school old boys club he's running.

Clegg talks the talk and Cable comes across as honest and likeable, but their party doesn't exactly have an amazing track record in local government.

The intense flurry of anti-Brown propaganda from the right-wing tabloids (whose focus has interestingly now shifted to Nick Clegg) is so much waffle to those of us who remember how they used to pillory Neil Kinnock in the 1980s.

The thing is, they go on about "Brown's Broken Britain" with unemployment and crime and so forth, but in fact these problems existed (and were in some cases much worse) under Thatcher and Major. It's no coincidence that in large swathes of Britain, people would sooner admit to drowning orphans and keeping slaves than voting Tory.
