Wobbly Coalition?

[Fittster]

Stories in the paper of Clegg saying “War in Iraq illegal”, government saying “Err, no it wasn’t”.

Clegg says deportation camp closing, government saying “Err, no it isn’t”

Vince says “Student tax”, senior Tory says “Err, no”.

Dave and Nick can't get the stories straight about when we will leave Afghanistan.

If they are already disagreeing on relatively minor issues does anyone believe they will be able to hold it together for a full term in office?

We can compare passports if you like to come second. However your view that the blue ties would solve all the UKs problems is about as stupid as people who think the red ties are correct.

If you thought as much as you post you might question the system instead of thinking the problem lies with the monkeys pulling the levers.

I'm not talking about how often you've been on package holidays, I'm talking about living and running businesses in countries run by coalition.

When have I ever said "blue ties would solve all the UKs problems"?

Never is the answer, I simply don't subscribe to your achingly dull daily anti-coalition diatribes on this forum.

Speaking of subscriptions, when I google 'Fittster' you appear to spend all your time boring people on various fora, is this you also about half way down the page 'seeking massage partners?'

Although you have probably got a trail of creditors after you for failed businesses across europe some of us have actually been successful, home and abroad. In that time we have seen that simple tribal politics doesn't work and that things get done more effectively without government interference. Blue, yellow and red ties don't actually make that much difference on the ground.

Look for a man on the internet! What a surprise, do you think they will be able to get their cock up your arse with your head already stuffed up there?

So you don't like the people who think the conservatives would solve all and don't think the Labour would solve all.

So surely a more debated bills make sense? with a variety of opinions?

Or would you like everyone to toe the conservative line, so then you can react like the media and think of it as a conservative government.

The point is that the current systems with red, blue, yellow of any other colour monkeys in charge won't be effective. We need to consider other forms of government, such as direct democracy.

I am not so sure, as this will mean lobbying will be done, along with advertisement for those bills that will help certain companies.

But lobbying and advertizing already happen, it's just directed to your elected representative who makes a decision on your behalf. I'd rather the advertising/lobbying was focused at the general population who could then make their own decisions.

Does your representative really but his constituencies views above those of the party they belong to?

You're exactly the bitter little man I thought you were!

So did you get many replies to your plea for 'massage partners'?

Don't lie, you aren't intellectually capable of having a thought.

Now go back to trawling gay contact websites.

At least Fittster is consistently anti-government irrespective of hue. And it's becoming an easy filter too: News, Politics & Economics forum, thread started by Fittster = link to some story about the government being useless.

Could be worse. He could be doing it on the porkers forum, corvettechat, HSV Monaro forum and others as well as here. Oh, hang on a minute, he is!

I hope you're better at gay loving than you are at stalking because I've never posted on any of those forums. If you really have nothing better to do (and that wouldn't surprise me) the other internet site I post on is www.ybw.com.

For blogs try:

David Davis, the leading Conservative MP, has been accused of lampooning the Tory-Lib Dem alliance and describing it as the "Brokeback Coalition".

In reportedly extended criticism, he also referred to David Cameron's flagship Big Society policy as “Blairite dressing”.

Mr Davis' alleged comments suggest deep frustration at the way Conservative MPs have been forced to accept the deal with Nick Clegg’s party.

Mr Davis is reported to have said: “The corollary of the big society is the smaller state. If you talk about the small state, people think you’re Attila the Hun. If you talk about the big society, people think you’re Mother Teresa.”
The former shadow home secretary was allegedly overheard making the comments in a City of London pub during a private lunch with businessmen.
The leading right wing MP - who stood against Mr Cameron in the 2005 leadership campaign - also allegedly said the Prime Minister was more concerned with appeasing Lib Dems rather than appealing to MPs in his own party.
The Financial Times reported that three of its journalists heard Mr Davis attack the Coalition.
He was alleged to have approvingly repeated a remark attributed to a senior Conservative, which talked of the David Cameron-Nick Clegg partnership as the “Brokeback coalition” – a reference to the Oscar-winning film about two homosexual cowboys.
Mr Davis denied that he made that comment and said that he was misheard.

However, the journalists said they overheard him in the Boot and Flogger bar in Southwark. He was dining with some former Tate & Lyle colleagues, according to the newspaper.

This week, amid much fanfare, the Prime Minister outlined how his Big Society idea could help transform communities. But critics on the Tory right have argued that the idea – articulated in the election campaign with little apparent cut-through to voters on the doorstep – has little relevance and is ill thought-out

Although brokeback mountain is the cornerstone of my personal stalkers DVD collection it's hardly a model for a coalition. The monkeys in charge appear clearly lack any kind of vision except being in power.

That was the last lot.

Apparently the current lot have at least one vision, of reducing the burden of deficit and debt left by the last lot as a result of spendthrift incompetence.

Still pretty quite on how they are going to do that, certainly no commitment to the state withdrawing from any major areas.

When they really reduce the areas the state operates in (not trying to do everything it currently does, just with less money/people) and give real power to the public I'll be impressed.

"David Cameron is attempting to play down cabinet divisions over immigration after Business Secretary Vince Cable said a planned cap on on numbers coming from outside the EU must be flexible.

The prime minister told the BBC it was "perfectly legitimate" for Mr Cable to argue his case.

But, he added, "we decide these things in a cabinet, in a reasonable and sensible way".

The cap is due to come into force in April following a consultation.

Mr Cameron, who is on a trade mission to India with other senior ministers, including Mr Cable, has said he wants to cut net immigration to levels last seen in the 1990s - which he claimed would kill it off as an issue in British politics."
