There are many synergies with the gnomes and the Labour Party’s election campaign. So their campaign strategy of stealing underpants is:

Phase 1:   Steal Underpants (an euphemism for some stupid policy that has no chance of winning any votes)
Phase 2:   ?
Phase 3:  Win votes

If left wing bloggers wish to recycle this idea without acknowledging Whaleoil they should at the very least acknowledge they are describing an Underpants Stealing strategy.
