PluggedIn – Triple Threat
Author: Alex Thomson in The MJ |
Everyone loves a General Election. OK, maybe not everyone. But I would confidently wager that the average MJ reader is not just among the two-thirds of the electorate who bother to exercise their hard-won right to vote, but actively enjoys the election night broadcast marathon. Indeed, some will even be appearing in it.
General Elections are not the epochal events they used to be. In large part this reflects the very substantial diminution in the policy gap between the main parties.
Where once there were oceans of clear blue/red water wherever one looked, on many issues now there is barely a muddy puddle between competing parties’ positions.
