From my article in The Sunday Times yesterday:
“Two weeks ago, the Labour Party thought of itself as a perpetually victorious machine. Its supporters and detractors are equally stunned by the fickleness of voter behaviour. And just as flummoxed on what to do about it. The Nationalist Party has found a new-found vigour, energised by a reversal of fortunes it looks just as surprised with as Labour. Is that how it works? Does winning and losing just happen to political parties without regard to their effort or even their merits?”
