Seems I am not alone in my thinking after all!

You forgot 'mistakes were made, but lessons will be learned' in your conclusion

Excellent performance by Cameron in the emergengy parliamentary debate this afternoon. Opinion polls swinging back massively in his favour.

Which goes to prove, if you've done nothing wrong, fielding all-comers' questions is a piece of cake. He makes Milliband look like a rank amateur.

Indeed. My worry is that inept performances like his today will expedite the election of a credible Labour leader, such as his brother, in time to put up a viable challenge at the next election. Honestly, what were the unions thinking in backing Ed Milliband??

While I see your point a strong opposition is a good thing and the thought of Ed being there for 4 more years and being as weak and inept as he was today basically gives the coalition carte blanche to do what they want which is not a great prospect.

True, although i think there's a strong sense of self-regulation at the moment given the fact it's a coalition. I don't see this parliament as especially one-sided, even with an ineffective Labour "leader".

If Millipede was a better politician then Cameron would have had a much harder ride. He did pretty well, but some questions are unanswered as they weren't asked

There was some comment that Millimetre also has an advisor working for him who also has a dodgy background.

No they aren't; that is an untruth and as such is immoral.
