Could be 15 weeks to an Election ......
Good grief, that's going to be here faster than you know it ...... I still don't know how I will vote - are you all set in your intentions?
|
bored of it already, but as long as the tossers in charge now are ousted then all good. I know some over tossers will take their place but cant be worse than the current crop
|
Simon Cowell gets my vote, and if he aint running for PM then im out.
|
Always like to see the plucky underdog do well so probably Lib Dem.
Or UKIP :D |
I've got a nasty feeling that the turnout will be so low that Labour will be returned to power.
Steve |
They have so alienated the "youth" of today that I don't know of a single one that will bother voting.
A shame really, since Lying Labour have betrayed this generation. |
Alcazar is right-whatever happens, I just hope this lot are chucked into the wilderness. That has to be a good start.
Les |
And be led by some Eton Boys who don't have a clue?
Hmmmmmm, not sure. We need a change - but a change could be a hung parliment? Some Lib-Lab Pack? We've been there before of course ....... but give it 12 months and then hold an election again, getting a big Labour majority as the economy will be seen to have been saved. |
soul destroyingly boring :sleep:
|
In all honesty Pete,neither you, or any of us for that matter, know whether "Dave" and his mates would be the answer to it all.
What I will say though, from what we have seen over the last 13 years and what we know about the ambitions for this country by the plonkers who are in charge at the moment, another government would really have to work at it to do as badly as they have. Les |
God! Not another 4 months of Flash in charge? Who'll start a whipround for a hitman????
Dave |
4 months until all our problems are solved, all that's broken it fixed, all the are sick are healed!!!
Wow there's going to be a lot of disappointed people about.;) On the turn out issue, I read that a much higher turn out is expected at the election versus 2005 at least. Still Alcazar is nearly always wrong so he's just being consistent I suppose:lol1: |
Nearly always wrong? Well, that's better than Martin2005, who is ALWAYS wrong:D
Have you talked to many of today's youth, Martin? In a deprived area? Do you disagree that they have been betrayed? |

How so?

You go back to Maggie Thatchers 1981 and ask the young then what they had to look forward to - I can tell you right now that it was a LOT, LOT worse than it is now!
|
yep, took almost a decade to get over the winter of discontent and all the other horrors administered by caring Labour :(
|
Yeah, I remember the 3 day week, power cuts and misery ..... that was the Tories though!

Facts:-
This (youth unemployment) is an increase from 201,500 a year ago to 472,000 in June 2009, who are being paid up to £50.95 a week on the dole. This has not yet reached the levels of Thatcher's Britain in the 1980s, when more than a million young people were on benefits. In bold for the hard of understanding ......... Yes, you read right, 1 MILLION!!! TWICE what it stands at today! |

I think that you will find that the true "misery" was in the Winter of Discontent (yes, i was there!), when the dead weren't buried, uncollected refuse piled up on the streets and lorry drivers went on strike (which funnily enough they also did immediately after Bliar came to power!).

Don't tell me, you were taught English under the Tories! :lol: OH, yes, for future reference - it's dementia :thumb::p |
Brown and NL's legacy must rate as the worst administration this country has ever suffered.
They've succeeded in presiding over the most affluent time in our history, yet bankrupted us and created a benefit society that the working person now has to carry. Add to that no future for almost a million young people, and allowing a basic human need (housing) to become out of reach for most then you've got a real **** up and a disgrace of an administration. |

We did have twice as many recessions under the last Tory government, I'm not sure that makes them twice as good though:lol1:
