Paul Kennedy Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Can we have a "Exterminate all politicans" category! Â That's not very nice especially during this season of goodwill.....and who would the general public have to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I can't believe that there are actually 8 people on this forum who would vote for this useless, corrupt, lying thieving bunch again I didn't think there were that many people in the whole country who were that blind  Would you believe it's now gone up to 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Notice the Lib Dems are one of the groups who are still waiting to get off the starting block. Do you think we may get some new forum members now at long last  Statistically speaking though if you analyse the votes so far it shows that.............  PS thanks Gary for adding the option I needed.... but like you say my opinion and vote has now been cast and as such it is now final and there is no going back now  Sounds somewhat familiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Wahl: "communist"? That's a cracker! Indy: we don't vote for a PM, we each vote for an MP in our constituencies; whoever gets the majority of MPs in Parliament decides the PM and forms the Government.

Indy: we don't vote for a PM, we each vote for an MP in our constituencies; whoever gets the majority of MPs in Parliament decides the PM and forms the Government. Â .....and of course the charismatic appeal of Tony Bliar had nothing to do with the increased Labour vote in 1997? Don't make me laugh, of course people take into account the party leaders when voting for a particular party. This will become apparent when the votes are cast on this unelected Scottish, slack jawed traitor we currently have as our prime minister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 You mean Tory Bliar? The guy who moved Labour so far to the right, you couldn't get a fag paper between the Parties. The fact is, Labour would have won that Election irrespective - why? Cos they weren't Conservative (in name at least); likewise the Tories may win the next one cos they aren't "new" Labour - although the bettings on a hung parliament.

From the voting it appears that the voting public have learnt nothing, we just replace one incompetent party with another and then vote back in the original incompetents.

Peter T Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I think it's called the fear factor. Frightened to vote for UKIP or someonein case no-one else does and the wrong one of the Bit Two get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 The only choice folk have, is one of style and tone, rather than fundemental substance - and a hung parliament will no doubt deliver some surreal outcomes, like possible Scottish independence.

Â Doubt it Observer, the majority of Scots don't want it....and if by chance it happened.........the M74 southbound would be even busier. Â And as I mentioned before, a hung parliament will result in a run on the pound, chaos in the bond markets and a dramatic increase in interest rates, another recession....and an election within two years. So if people wish to risk that by voting L/D, UKIP, BNP, Green etc etc then be it on their heads. Our next government needs a clear mandate and told in no uncertain terms to get the financial mess that we are in sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgusted Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 So buy voting for UKIP, you are happy for Brown to get in again???? So people shouldn't vote for a smaller party because it will help/hinder one of the big two? That is the worst reason in the world to vote.

And that attitude is exactly why the Tories can't win an egg & spoon race in Scotland. Â Where are these majority of Scots coming from? I don't believe there has been a poll on independence conducted has there? The only two times a Scottish parliament has been voted upon by the electorate, the majority have said yes please, so a bit of a stretch to try to claim what you have here.

observer Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yes, IF Salmond gets enough MPs to hold the balance of power, he'll no doubt extract a referendum as a condition of support - however, whether the Scots will vote for it in a referendum is another matter!
