Daily Mirror columnist Tony Parsons



Writing in Saturday's Daily Mirror columnist Tony Parsons identified that the most important factor in the general election is the mood for change. It may seem a contrary way of choosing a government, and there may well be regrets later on, but the desire for change is probably now unstoppable. And who is to say the people are wrong.

This causes a difficulty for commentators who need to go on finding things to talk about (endless speculation about the unlikely scenario of a "hung Parliament"), but already there is a sense that the outcome is decided and we just need to get on with it.

The reference in the title to "mess" relates to the pudding Eton Mess, which is made from strawberries, meringue and cream (it's actually very good).
