I've written for The Independent this morning. My basic argument is that pre-election candour will make the job of governing a lot more straightforward for David Cameron and George Osborne. The full article is here but the key sentence is: "Candour might not make much difference to the outcome of the next general election but it could be crucial to the chances of a prime minister Cameron being re-elected."
Having said that candour won't make much difference to the chances of winning the forthcoming election I was a little surprised to see this headline above my piece this morning...
The Independent has kindly changed the headline of the online edition but it's a warning not to judge an article by the headline that it is given!
