On a per capita basis, on a per head basis ...

Those are the same thing!

You may now start misinterpreting what I just

Not necessarily. A Latin master told us that "per capita" was to be
preferred to "per head" as it avoided arguments as to whether a man
should count the same as 2 women :)

In his (my?) defence, it was (a) a boys only school and (b) 50 years
ago.

So who do you think was a suitable leader? Milliband who'd stab his own
brother in the back for power? Salmond and Sturgeon who deliberatly stir
resentment between the scots and english and don't denounce public haranging
of rival party candidates by thugs?

I notice you don't criticise Cameron. Your biases are showing. I am
showing my most negative bias, but this doesn't imply that I have any
sort of positve bias anywhere. Whoever you vote for a politician gets
in every time, you can only try to choose the least worst.

Cameron is just Tim nice but a bit Dim - he's not malicious. However I
wouldn't personally have chosen him as Tory leader.

I can't disagree with that.
