How did we end up with the Government we have got ?
They are not keeping any of the promises either party made in their manifestos !
They are asking pensioners and the hard working to make sacrifices to pay of the country's debts!
Shambolic Britain!
Get rid of half the MPs and the hangers on and save money that way ! |

bankrupt old farmer,
Thoughtful wrote that on 3 Aug? Did he think a Darling victory was likely 2 days ago?
I'd suggest that since Darling isn't standing, the odds of him winning are rather long.
Do the people back there in blighty really want to see Darling in power?
I imagine though that the headline writers might like to see Darling and Balls coming together.

In defence of Thoughtful, Warren BuffetCar, his suggestion at the time was for Darling to take over. |

Thoughtful,
If we had another General Election tomorrow labour would win easily !
I always said that if Labour had got rid of Brown they would have won the election.
You think people want a Miliband?

Gordon Brown has been judged the third worst post-war Prime Minister in a vote of 106 academics.
They have been astonishingly generous to him, placing him above both Anthony Eden and Alec Douglas-Home in the league table.
Attlee is the winner with Margaret Thatcher in second place. Brown comes in 10th...........(D. Mail) |

I agree that liberal voters feel betrayed and Conservative voters think Cameron is a wimp !

Merlin,
I don't see the Lib/Con thing lasting that long, and certainly not into a single party.
The libs are largely drawn from a guardian reading, educated lefty part of society.
The Tories... um... aren't.
At present I think its a marriage of convenience... the Tories needed it to win power, and the Libs similarly think they can get electoral reform and can moderate Tories extremes. But its a naturally unstable alliance (Lib/Lab would be much more stable).
I think the Tories will hope to build an opinion poll lead, and then deliberately cause the coalition to fall apart so they can call an election. And naturally they'll do that before any electoral reform.
I'd be very surprised if the coalition lasts 4 years, and if we see electoral reform of any substance.
Which is a shame, because I like the concept of coalition government, and I think electoral reform would give us more of it. At present we normally elect a dictatorship for 5 years which can then push through absurd expensive and unpopular things like poll tax, Iraq war, ID cards, etc, etc. So far coalition seems to be working well - they are having to concentrate on doing sensible things, and not get sidelined political gestures like legalising foxhunting for their chums, etc

And aspire to stand in the shoes of Churchill Gladstone Palmerston et all.
My money is on Ed . Either way they will not survive the next failure at the election.
My money is on the coalition turning into one big joint party. Some dissaffected Tory Facists falling away in the process. Constituencies being evened up and AV getting voted for.
That would keep Labour out forever. |

I may be mistaken but why UK politicians who were caught for expense scandals don't have to pay (1) penalty fees for the conduct (2) full expense claimed (3) late fees @ day ~4o% ?
UK people who live normal lives must pay, say tax things, (1) missed tax payments (2) penalty fees (3) late fees etc.
Why MPs and etc in UK politics don't have to pay for it? |
