Britain has got so fat, nobody can actually fit in a booth to vote and they will remain in power in a 0-0 draw.

Only 2 parties can win because everyone assumes the 3rd can't. Nothing more than a self fulfilling prophecy. As a life long labour voter, I say let's get a campaign going for the Lib Dems. And yes I know Nick Clegg is no more capable than the other two, but he isn't any worse either.

yeh but we presume they cant win cos they cant win. and they cant win cos we presume they cant win. so basically they cant win.

I have met Nick Clegg and he is the stereotypical 'politician in a suit' (just like Cameron). I have nothing against him particularly and don't get hugely riled by his politics. However, these nobheads like him and Cameron who are Blair-lite, spinning ****s, using a trained open handed gesture at every opportunity, really pi$$ me off.
Mind you, the only reason they do it is because the public are so stupid and easily manipulated and it is a fact that it actually works. The general public are morons and get the politicians they deserve |

By:
True LF, but behind the spin and the image, the Lib Dems are the only party talking much sense at the moment. Everything Cameron comes out with is either out of date misguided rubbish (eg married couples allowance, policy on Europe) or complete evidence of his Eton roots. Even Ken Clarke who I used to have time for got totally mauled by Mandie on C4 news the other night.
It always was the case that governments lost elections rather than opposition winning them. This election looks like proving that beyond all doubt. |

By:
the average Britian is thick selfish and greedy and cant face up to the reality of the mess Brown has made and prefer the idea of ever more spending than Camerons more realistic approach.
Its going to be an almighty shock for these when the storm hits. |

we are just emerging from the worst global financial decline since the 1930's
so lets put a guy with £30 million of family money in charge of us , we can really identify with him :D |

lol. i dont think the recession has hit all that many people that badly in reality though. obviously some people have lost their homes and businesses but for the vast majority of people its meant buying tesco value chocolate digestives instead of mcvities.
|
|
By:
No no. What we should do is vote for the person who dropped us in the shiit with all his wild spending. Just the ticket.
|
|
By:
Thats because the effects of the recession havent actually started yet. Brown has ruined the next 30 years so all the mugs cant see the damage until after the election and reading on here he has done a fair job.

People haven't felt it because Brown has tried to buy the election by stealing from people not even born now. The pain is yet to come. |

In 1974 we had problems with the unions, miners strikes etc. The unions needed their wings clipped so we elected the most pro-union party there was. Cue the winter of discontent and the arrival of Thatcher. Now we have a crisis driven by inadequate regulation of the business and finance sector, the opportunity for proper regulation having been missed by the tories when they approved the big bang in 1987. And what do we look like doing? Voting in the most pro-business party there is. Who says we learn the lessons of history? |

im distinctly unconvinced the tories would have had any more control over the banks than labour.

Live Forever, yeah, it drives me up the wall how every person in the public eye has been coached from the same handbook with their karate chop gestures to emphasize every point they make.

But there are two things at play here and Brown wants you to concentrate on just the one for which he also shares a portion of blame (the banks). What he doesn't want to see you thinking about is the fact that he told us that he had ended boom and bust and that he based his financial decisions on this fallacy. That is why we were borrowing tens of billions a year all the way to the top of the economic cycle. Total and utter madness and for this Brown is totally responsible. |
|
By:
I reckon that if Gordon Brown was not in power then Labour would win an election.
the man has almost single handedly driven our economy to the brink in search of his own greed. I am not anti labour or pro conservative I am anti Brown and I am sure I am not in the minority |

By:
isnt it just a case that the country just doesnt have enough money coming in, and no government ever likes raising taxes because it puts off voters. people always want more money spent on the nhs, policing and education but never want to actually pay for it.
|

By:
Their going to pay for it now big time !
|
|
By:
Spot On. Its just Brown is borrowing on a scale not known anywhere else in the world. Our deficit is bigger than Greeces and we know what a mess its in. The choice is huge cuts or bankruptcy then huge cuts. No real room for debate.

LOL , the Clarkey & Mandie show again. I would love to know what scheming those two get up to away from the spotlight. Bet they sit there p***ing themselves laughing at the lot of us.. |
