One of the amazing things about parliament recently is that apart from the PBR by the Chancellor, and PMQ by Cameron, there has been an almost complete absence of discussion in parliament about our economic predicament.
Why is this? The Prime Mentalist condemns others for not being bi-partisan in such important moments (- he doesn't really want them to be, he wants them to acquiesce in ideas which he and his henchmen have produced privately to save the world), and yet he denies them the opportunity to discuss the matters.
It's all the more strange when there is so much time available. MPs are soon to be on a 24 day recess, the Queen's Speech was short on new policies and they have already announced the shortest sitting year for a long time if not ever.
The executive seems to be working hard to come up with new wheezes (or usually half-baked versions of Tory policies) but ordinary MPs have little to occupy their time in Westminster.
Is the explanation that he needs the opposition to be identified with his policies in case they do not work, but he must have the credit if they succeed? He has staked everything on presenting himself as the economic wizard.
