JHG - We have discussed this many times before and you remain in denial of the serious errors by Gordon Brown that have made our economic situation far worse than it should be.
Fortunately most people are not making that mistake. Indeed even in that once solid Labour area Wales, a big swing to the Conservatives is expected to more than treble our seats.

Polling is also showing an above national average swing to the Conservatives in the North of England, another Labour heartland.
Face up to it you lot are going to be out at the next election with the only area of doubt being the scale of Labour defeat.
