Does anyone actually believe that the pregnancy wasnt a scheduled (as much as any pregnancy can be) election event by the camerons and their PR company??

If I had any doubt as to the slimey, devious, oily nature of politicians it was put to rest by this. I have never had less faith in this country's politicians.

What professionals or experts do you have faith in?

I trust in most professionals to be honest. Politicians are the one set that I pretty much have universal distrust of (with a handful of honourable exceptions).

Me.

The cynic in me thinks it can't hurt but I do not believe that anyone at all concieves to an election schedule. It's tinfoil hat stuff.

Very unlikely that they could time a pregnancy THAT well, but good timing all the same

Me too.

It may be convenient (if you think that kind of thing is), but they lost their son just over a year ago, I'd like to think that may have had more bearing on the decision than some perceived gain in popularity.

I wouldn’t put it past any politician to plan something like this; however we'll never know for sure.

It is however as likely, to be a response to the death of Ivan Cameron last year, it certainly wouldn’t be the first time that grieving parents have another child relatively soon after the tragic death of one of their children.

At least the Cameron’s haven’t used a "tearful" televised confession of their feelings, following their son’s death, to try and remain in number 10..........................

if they did, then they were not planning to win the election.

Now if she was pig ugly and you wouldnt want to hang out of it without an agenda or schedule.. who wouldnt be in it every night?

Ever tried to get a girl pregnant? Personally I haven't but I've a number of good friends who have had children...

Doesn't work like that. She could catch the first week or it could take months.

Absolutely, obviously there's no guarantee but do you really think they didnt consider the political ramifications at the very least as they decided to have unprotected sex? What I am saying is that I dont believe Cameron didnt actively decide to start trying for a kid in January (after consulting with his PR team) because he had worked out the timeline that would (with a bit of luck) mean a "wonderful news" announcement to appeal to the family vote in March-May....

What a stupid, bitter first post.

They lost a child a year ago. It is a natural reaction to try for another child, not as a replacement, but to bring new joy into a bereaved family. For a couple of their age, getting pregnant is not generally an instant, easy process and can certainly not be programmed to coincide with an election campaign.

I'm guessing the OP doesn't have children.

Tremendously naive. Wake up.

More naive to think that SamCam being pregnant would have any bearing on an election outcome, I would have thought.

What is interesting is that this thread does show how low the opinion of politicians is when people's first thought is that it was planned as an election stunt.

Agreed. Like I said, its my automatic assumption given my complete distrust of 90% of MP's.
