A Labour victory in the GE is now inevitable. Ironically Britain will shift to the left when other major European countries are taking steps to the right.

This is about competency as opposed to ideology. In my view voters value competence above ideology , especially when deciding on the merits of parties clustered around the centre ground. The Tory brand is now synonymous with incompetence and chaos, even if you don’t want a Labour government you want a competent government.

The same can be said in business, I prefer working for people who have a plan. Whether or not I agree with the plan is a secondary question, having a plan always beat not having any plan.

It harks back to one of my guiding principles, action always trumps inaction. Competence to move us in a direction, is better than incompetence failing to move us in any direction.
