It's the "if you don't vote for a lizard, the wrong lizard might get in" principle, I suppose?

Your liberal muesli-eating bubble might not want to get whacked in the nuts with hammers, but this is a big concern for ordinary voters.

In the UK it seems we just voted against an economically incompetent right wing govt & the new govt have come in & said “You know what? They had a point. We’re going to try to replicate the govt you just voted out as best as possible.”

Errr. Great. What was all that stuff about the need for change?
