Oh, the Today programme... I had to stop listening to Radio 4 about 3 years ago because of the effect it was having on my mental health; anger management was becoming an issue. :/ But yes, you're right... it's stupid, it's counterproductive, and how can so many people supposedly addicted to The West Wing have missed the points about not accepting the premise of the question, and not letting your opponent define the debate?
But the worst is yet to come. Cameron is going to have to be crowbarred out of Downing Street - he's more or less said this, now - but Miliband is busy putting the toolbox beyond use, because it might get a few more people to vote for him in Scotland? It's ridiculous. Politics as pantomime...
It really wasn't hard to go Green this time round. The only party that appears to actually *believe* in something, rather than defining itself exclusively on "not being the other lot". :(
