As so often, Oliver Kamm puts my views better than I can. Here he is on Gordon Brown and next week's election:
This is a feeble, unimaginative, incompetent and intellectually incurious Prime Minister, whose hapless, cynical and dysfunctional government has debased the notion of public service, coarsened public life and forfeited any claim to public respect, and I shall be voting for its return to office next Thursday.
My reason for voting Labour (in fact I already have, by post), is, apart from the fact that Kate Hoey is an excellent MP with a commendably independent turn of mind and is one of the very few on the Labour benches to speak out about the atrocities in Zimbabwe, that a Tory government would keep Britain out of the euro. This is similar to Oliver Kamm's view, though I would not presume to speak for him. I doubt that this view is shared by many UK voters however. And yes, I know that no party, including the LibDems, has pledged to take the UK into the eurozone.

If I lived in Vauxhall, I might vote for Kate Hoey as well, but I live in Reading East so I don't have that choice.
Has anyone seen Dr Dodds or Nasty Naz recently? They seem to have abandoned Reading to a two way fight between the Tories and the Lib Dems.
I'd vote for Kate too, just on the strength of her treatment at the hands (or gob) of Gorbals. A decent enough MP.
Nazbar only pops out for celeb visits it seems of late. Perhaps he got an autograph book for Xmas.
I went to see Posh at the Royal Court today.
Jane might be interested in reading the playscript - available from The Royal Court.
The world of Cameron Britain is all there.
Not a joke , not 'funny, posh old Bullingdon'.
Terrible - can't explain enough unless someone has read or seen it - but think 'Remains of the Day'.
Apres le deluge is and what a deluge .
This isn't a funny post.
What will probably happen on Thursday isn't funny - this is not about alternative policies either, although they aren't desirable. This is serious and we need to re-visit the mindset of the 1930s for an immediate parallel. Otherwise, we just look wider to the dark underside of this country - and what people don't want to speak about or tell you - from both the Bullingdon and not the Bullingdon perspective.
Be very afraid - and I don't mean that in the usual journo smirk sense. Not this time.
Vote Labour. Wherever you are.
Michael Martin was a decent enough Speaker too - not 'Gorbals', actually. He was made the fall guy for the expenses scam - and I wonder why that was?
Perhaps it was Mrs Duffy's fault ?
Gilly Babes has lost all credibility. She has trousered £80,000 and is on the way to canada to visit her relatives. They can barbecue her.
