Of the "great debate", the occasion, says Warner, "was a revolting exhibition of the consensual, issue-evading tripartite conspiracy that passes for politics in Britain now." He thus concludes that, "none of the above" is the only response that any Briton could, while preserving a modicum of self-respect, give to the detestable trio we saw capering on our television screens.
Thus we have a clear split – not between the parties but between those who still take politicians seriously (the minority) and the rest of us, who think they are a bunch of wastrels. If anything, yesterday saw the divide strengthen and the "sod the lot" tendency gain a few more recruits.
