So, in a moment of clarification, your official position on this one is going to be that the 2 majors are at high risk of being knocked into 3rd/4th place by the greens, and this isn't a reflection on their failures of governance over the decades?

I'm not actually sure what you're proposing you think the major reasons are, since that article is just a reminder that people with money have noticed what a disaster the EU is too, not just average voters.

> While you've clearly mastered the tone of supercilious sarcasm that is the mainstay of British politics...

I will admit a feeling of loss that I couldn't work in "unstained escutcheon" but that would be too obscure a reference. I doubt Rees-Mogg would have baulked.

> Meanwhile, at least eight of their councilors elected last week have quit already due to comedy levels of misconduct.

And a supplementary question - do you feel this is "ideological mistrust of the public sector" coming through? Or is it something else when you do it?
