But what do they say? We're hearing that people voted against the war, but why did the Tories do so well? The UK seems to be losing the war. Why vote Tory? The Tories do war better than Labour. Can we look forward to a Saatchi style poster with rows and rows of dead bodies in Iraq with the caption "Labour isn't winning"? Respect's showing in places was, well, respectable. Their name is ridiculous. It suggests that they didn't consult very widely and that, in turn suggests a lack of, well, respect for democracy. Ken Livingstone even threatened to sue Respect over the name because of Greater London's "Respect" anti-racist festival. Ken was worried that people would get confused. I was more worried that people would think the publicity was for Ali G. Maybe they did but thousands voted for Respect in spite of the silly name. For me the surprise result was that the Tories did as well as they did. No tenners for explaining why the Tories did so well, but go ahead: explain. I really want to know why one Conservative party out of power would do better than another conservative. party that is in power.
