How Conservatives Won in Britain

In a quite surprising election result, David Cameron and the Conservatives bolted to victory in Britain's closely-watched Parliamentary elections.  Much is still to be learned, of course, but it appears at this point the victory can be attributed to American-style negative campaigning built upon a type of wedge politics over the Scottish question.

It seems likely, that the result of such a campaign will be, as in America, more divisiveness and even rancor.  Conservative economics cannot save a profit economy in Britain any more than in the U.S.  Pain for ever so many English citizens will continue, even as the U.S. reconsiders its allegiance to capitalism.

Let us hope the Conservative "victory" will be short-lived.
