Sadly Joey, from talking to the "Man on the street", it seems that the tories have been pretty effective in convincing average voters that they have "fixed" the economy and that everything is now running smoothly. They've even had Obama banging on about our marvellous recovery and "leading the world". It's all absolute nonsense of course, fiddled figures and trickery, their policies have been abysmal and the country is still firmly on a downward spiral, but I've talked to loads of people who just look baffled and say "but the economy is doing well now isn't it?". It's worrying.
