They got fucking owned in local elections apparently? Conservatives have served ownage on a silver platter.

Maybe that'll smack that horrid grin off Gordon Brown's face.

it is, but labour were the most recent so its time for conservative to have a go at running the country into the ground.

Labour will still win the general elections, us normal folk will get bored of of him waffling on about allowing all the rich folk the right to hunt foxes on a Sunday after brunch to gain votes.

The whole thing is still bollocks :)

The Bottom Line.

Despite all the rights and wrongs, and individual actions.


Conservative want you to plan and run your own life.

Labour want to plan and run your life for you.




Thats it for me.

no democractically elected government where the power is given to a small or select number of men want you to run your own life. this would be too dangerous.

i had the choice of voting lib dem, green or conservative in my local area. the tory candidate is a local chap who came to our house in person, was happy to talk to everyone and gave plenty of information on his policies. nothing from the other two.

i went to vote on thursday morning with the notion of voting tory. i thought the man deserved my vote for his hard work if ntohing else.

but i physically couldn't do it. i thought about ruining my ballot paper but felt that i had to vote, so i voted green as a sort of protest vote.

not that it makes any difference as this is a staunchly tory area.

May i just point out that by the time we have a general election the person most likely to be running this country will be doing so without being elected.

How democratic is that then?

Yep, JBP, when Blair stands down there should be a general election immeadiatly. None of this Brown running the country bullshit, he wasn't voted in, just handed power.

i can't grasp that either. surely if the PM stands down a general election ought to be called immediately?

Well as i understand it There should be at least two people standing to take over as leader of the party/prime minister,and then members of the labour party should vote for who they would prefer.

However in this particular case there doesn't seem to be anyone standing against Mr Brown.

Agreed. I reckon he'll resign on Monday (possibly Tuesday 'cos of the bank holiday).

Torries are all for the rich people reaping the rewards but the majority of the population are middle class people and have nothing to gain at all from the Torries.

I beg to differ i'm afraid.


In my opinion the conservative party reward those who go out and work hard to make living and better themselves.

Where as traditionally Labour would rather spend your pension and tax £'s on workshy fops and teenage mothers.

Well its happened like that in the past so why not now?

Also when you vote you vote for the party not the person. Its the party who votes who will be the PM...

Give it 20-50 years and England will have a permanent Tory government as Labour will have been eradicated from england, scotland SNP and Wales Plaid Cymru, end of the Union and we can all settle down to being nice little member states of an EU that no longer has "pesky brits" threatening to veto stuff thus furthering its expansion and control by the French and Germans.

I'll be emigrating then.

Well its really quite simple (teaching you to suck eggs here I'm sure), in a general election you vote for a person to represent your interests from the constituency in which you reside. That person may or may not be a member of a political party. The party decides which of it's elected MPs should be Prime Minister.

Both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have both been elected by the members of their constituencies, so there is no need for a general election.

I didn't like Tony Blair much but I still think that hes an allright bloke (yes I can see through the spin). Gordon Brown is just a gray faced mealy mouthed socialist pension raping stealth taxing mong, and I can't see many Englishmen voting for Labour at the next general election when he's in charge.

yes i understand that but it doesn't mean it's right.

the new leader of the country will not be a democratically elected individual, that's the crux of the issue.

Hardly surprising since the Tories don't want to run your life since they seemingly can't even be arsed to plan any policies either.
