I realise that saying this might make me sound a bit screwy, but I can’t help thinking that there is a definite mismatch between how people currently feel about politics and the general election result. Saturday saw a huge anti-government protest in London: the anti-tory feeling was palpable in that crowd, yet just a few weeks ago they won a general election. Given that I doubt that feeling had arisen since the election, or that it was just the protesters who felt that way, I suspect something is amiss with the election result. Has any other government faced so fervent a protest so soon after they were elected? Of course, to say the election was rigged is to cross into cloud cuckoo land, and I’ve seen no evidence that it was, but it’s clear that vast numbers of people don’t want a Tory government, and are very angry indeed at what they are doing. If people are this angry already, just think of the protests to come
