man wants to leave the swamp of austerity and travel to the promised sunny uplands. He goes to the transport companies for a good deal.
The green garage offers comfortable trainers, frequent comfort breaks, and protection against the weather. He wants to go faster!
At the Lib/Dem garage he is offered a donkey, with a pannier for his belongings, but no food for the donkey.
At the labour garage he is offered a horse and cart, with ample horse food on the cart, but the horse needs new shoes.
At the Tory garage he has choice. One clapped out car with the handbrake stuck. Needs frequent stops to cool the wheels.
Or
a newly painted racers, with no brakes, the accelerator stuck full on. And the steering wheel frozen.
The man opts for the fast car forgetting the road ahead is full of sharp turns and a sheer drop at one side
