  Brian has a point though, I think, over the European and local elections this week. In the scheme of things they do appear to many people to be somewhat irrelevant and get in the way of the more important issue of sorting out Parliament. Even the parties themselves are campaigning on domestic issues rather than European ones it seems to me.
  
  This week's elections simply allow us to vote for "more of the same" in Europe and maybe a change of a few faces in the local councils. If there were a General Election this week instead I suspect the turnout would be much, much higher. I cannot see GB calling an early election because he knows he will lose; and he didn't have a people's mandate to be PM in the first place.
