Eagle Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Given the state of the country would Brown be best served by calling an election now and make plans for a Labour return five years hence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well that's me put in my place  Maybe I should have run up the road to try and catch the low life skallies who were hanging about and having a sneaky look in someones garage round here 15 minutes ago. You never know they may well have managed to stop me from whinging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Lab. won't want to get back in, in 5 years time. It will take a lot longer than that to sort this financial mess out and they need a clean slate to mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 We seem to be operating on 15 - 18 year cycles now; with the ovine voters queing up to vote for the fire, when they get fed up with the frying pan. Perhaps the best we can hope for is a hung Parliament - yes, hang 'em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Notice (Bliar II) Wavy Davy Cameron, is promising a Council Tax freeze, if we vote for the Tories - errm, but he doesn't mention the consequent cuts in public services?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Of course - you just finish up without ANY public services! The equation has always been fairly straight forward - high taxes and higher levels of public service; or low tax levels and less public services. The Tories can't change, it's in their DNA.

asperity Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 As opposed to the NuLiebour style of higher taxes and less public services I suppose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I like the Tories latest slogan - 'Vote for Change' Â Isn't that what everyone did to get rid of em? Â A more accurate slogan for most parties would be - Â 'Vote for change and get more of the same !!!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yep, that about sums it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 The reason you havn't got public services Asp; is because Maggie privatised most of them, and this shower never had the bottle to re-nationalise them. As for the equation; the Tories believe in a low tax economy, = minimal public services, = increased poverty, = increased crime, = increased social instability.

asperity Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 That doesn't explain why public services are declining while taxes are going up. And you can't keep blaming Maggie and the Tories because, after all, this shower have been in power for over 12 years now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If you read my posts properly, you would note that I did blame "this shower" too, for not re-nationalising them; they've thrown money at problem after problem, without any cost benefit analysis, and without securing control and ownership of such things as our railways for example; and (under EU pressure) they're even going to sell out our postal services.
