Our politics is strange. We have three large parties that spend most of their energy trying to prove that the other two are wholly unfit to govern. And yet all agree on the major issues of our time: you can barely slide a piece of paper between them on the economy, health, education, law and order, security, tax or foreign policy.

Far from being helpful to democracy this consensus in the middle ground is a drag on our political life. It bores the public and makes people - particularly the young - feel excluded. Those not linked by tribal ties to one of the three parties have come to see MPs as essentially a club of men and women in suits, who are all somehow on the make.
