Nothing to prove

David Cameron was right to refuse a debate with Ed Miliband.

As confirmed by the head of the International Monetary Fund, “facts are cheils that winna ding” (though perhaps not in these words), and the fact is that Cameron has presided over an incontrovertibly successful administration since last September, and he has nothing to debate.

It is now up to Miliband to prove that he (Miliband) could have done better.
