So say the Liberal Democrats, anyway. They're almost certainly right.
It's going to be a very nasty month, politically speaking. The Conservatives already have posters up on Coventry billboards, saying things like "It's not racist to impose limits on immigration" (their campaign slogan is "Are you thinking what we're thinking?" - and y'know, funnily enough I'm not.)
Strangely, it's quite tricky to find that particular poster image online (maybe they just think it plays better on billboards?) but you can see one of the other posters in the same campaign here, on their site. Charming, isn't it?
[I'd rant about this in more detail, but I've just spotted that someone else has already said it all]
Our local Labour party is playing off this with scare tactics of their own, suggesting that any vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote for the crazy Conservatives and do we really want to take that chance...
Well now. This is going to be interesting, isn't it?
And I stand by what I said after the US elections (well, aside from the "not demonising the Conservatives" bit - this ad campaign has put an end to that). Four more years of Labour, probably with at least two more years of Tony. Do you really want that? And if not, what are you going to do about it?
