Another example to turn to is the Australian election this year. Labour were convinced that green issues would feature so high on the agenda of the electorate that they focused a campaign around it. Low and behold once the results came out they were shocked when the center-right Liberal/National Coalition won. It turns out people care a lot less about green issues then they do at the prospect of the cost this policy would have on jobs and the economy. | | | | | Sorry, I must have missed your answer.

In the interests of full disclosure: I'm a Yam Yam from South Staffordshire and I've never visited Salisbury in my life, but I understand that the cathedral has a very fine spire.
