Talking about the election of course. General consensus was that the Tories (eeevil Tories!) are far too inexperienced to govern properly. A more biased BBC love-in I have yet to see.

Indeed, it often uses quotes from Cameron without attributing them to him in the headline at all, thereby implying that the sentiment expressed is a matter of general consensus.
