A handy list of why things are like they are. And why the last two general elections saw governments elected with strong journalistic fanfare but apparently very little notion of what their policy plans were.
Have just added a load more people to my starter pack of UK political journalists, commentators, politicos and experts, for anyone who's just arrived here, or looking for some more familiar faces
