Welcome

Welcome to the despatch box, a blog that will provide you with political comment and opinion on the issues of the day as and when they happen. Feel free to leave your comments and any feedback you may have. The political scene after the General Election on May 5th is perhaps the most interesting political landscape since the Labour party came to power. In the coming days and months there will be a leadership election within the Conservative party, while Blair tries to manage a party who owes his less loyalty, and with a reduced majority.

Who said politics was boring!
