The other option being Labour???

I'd vote BNP before I voted Labour and I hate BNP.
I just love those that consider all the options before voting

If you voted tory just to remove labour then your an idiot

Alright then genius, how else would you have removed Labour???

Anything other than Tory or even possibly Lib Dems is a wasted vote.

Do you think that Labour should still be in power? Please say you do, then we can point and laugh.
So you voted Tory because you really really agree with their global warming and pro-euro stance?

No you voted for the simple reason they aren't labour.

I'm not labour either and i can't spell i also want to ban socks Would you vote for me?

If you vote for any party because they aren't labour you deserve a bunch of spineless feckers in power

If folk actually voted for the party they agree with the most then we might not be where we are now.

I have been thinking about this a lot today and have come to the conclusion david is pro euro superstate and working towards that goal.
I thought this was a given?
Yippeee

Euro superstate here we come.

Then we can vote for who ever we want and it will make even less difference

Just watched Ed Balls(up) on Marr this morning. The clown is in total denial about the state of the country that him, Brown and Miliband left it in. Summed up by that cretin who left the note in the Treasury - No money left.

Let's hope we never see them in power again.
4 years time and they will be in power

It should be them in power just now.

What do you think they would be doing if they were still in power? Do you think they would have made any changes, or would we, as a country, still be struggling along, getting further and further into the st?

I'm interested as to why you think this.
A few more years of labour in power and we would be truely donald ducked

Then we might realise as a country that socialism doesn't work

As it stands the blue ties will make some cuts and get everything to a state of it not being completely st, lose an election and the red ties will start spending again

Repeat until boring

Do you really think that's a better option than actively trying to fix the problem before it's too late? You want what's happening in Egypt?
You tell me what the problem is.

To me the problem is our leaders haven't a clue what we want. We have a system that does not reward great leaders, it rewards great politicians.

Look at Blair you might not like the man but fk he was utterly brilliant and doing what he wanted to do which was to make himself richer and more powerful.

What we want is irrelevant at the moment. It's what we need that is important. And i see the Tory making cuts that Labour were too chickenst to make. i don't agree with all of them, but i appreciate the cuts have to be made somewhere. I think Labour, pretending there isn't a problem, and ignoring it, was not the way to fix it.

I just don't see how anyone can think letting it spiral out of control, instead of addressing the issues now, is a good idea.

Your opinion though, and you're entitled to it. I'm just glad you're not in control, and your solution isn't the one that's playing out just now.
If i was incharge I'd be making more radical cuts then the tories would.

Limiting child benefit to the first 2 births would be one step.

Allowing kids to leave school at 14 if they move in an apprenticeship

3 strikes and your out for petty offenders

death sentances for the grammer police

leaglise the nasty things like drugs etc to bring them under control

and many other things that would make me unelectable

When we get leaders who don't chase the daily wail then we might get somewhere

Interesting to note that if most UKIP voters has voted Conservative, then we wouldn't have the current coalition. Personally I think it 'may' have been better if Labour had somehow clung to power at the last GE. Messy, unpleasent, sadistic yes, but maybe better in the long run for the country, (or am I thinking too highly of vast swathes of the population?).
The UKIP vote lost not one single seat for any major party despite getting 5%? of the vote.

Try 19 seats:

Seats won by Lib Dems where UKIP vote was bigger than the gap to the Tories

Somerton & Frome
Wells
Dorset & Poole North
Solihull
St Austell & Newquay

Seats won by Labour where UKIP vote was bigger than the gap to the Tories

Southampton Itchen
Telford
Finchley & Golders Green
Derby North
Derbyshire North East
Great Grimsby
Morley & Outwood
Walsall North
Walsall East
Newcastle under Lyme
Wirral South
Bolton West
Middlesborough South & Cleveland East
Plymouth Moor View
So who is at fault

The UKIP voters for not being sheep and voting for the "correct" party

Or

Cameron is at fault for being a euro loving ineffective middle of the road lefty

The inside reports show that Brown was a sociopath; the thrown mobiles, the pens stabbed into the back of the seats of the Jaguars, the barging past staff, the shouting, swearing and then, finally, and most obviously, the Gillian Duffy incident.

His continued absurd belief that he led the world to salvation in 2008 is the extra evidence not needed for the diagnosis.
Which brings me back to ask.

If the system isn't broken how did he get to be PM?

The Labour Party's system for electing a leader is most definitely broken.
And nothing to do with that a party can swap PM when ever they want with us having zero say in it.

Nothing to do with an electral system which favours back stabbing self interested tts over good leaders.

its labours fault

UKIP would have to raise its game by several orders of magnitude in order to get a sniff at any form of power.

Today, UKIP is seen as the refuge of swivel-eyed loonies and a hobby for failed conservatives peers.

I suspect that the sort of makeover required to make UKIP a serious player would result in most of the existing UKIP leadership and activists being locked in a dark room wearing straitjackets and scrawling 'Kill Cameron' on the walls with toe-held crayons, whilst some rather more organised folk got on with the job of making them electable.
Would you prefer a two party system?

Where we can choose a bunch of middle of the road idiots who are desperate not to upset anyone or a bunch of middle of the road idiots who are desperate not to upset anyone
