Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Fair enough Es. I didn't get your implication. It's been a long night for us working.... Bottom line IMO. As with most labour voters on this thread, you have to have better policies than just hating the tories, that assumes what Kinnock alluded to the electorate being deluded, which is arrogance beyond belief. Anyway i've spoken to Dave and he has ripped up the warrant for my arrest that has kept me in hiding, so i'm back next week for 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I doubt the lib dems will bounce back ether I think thats it for them as a party Dunno about that Monk. The Liberals held 5 seats in the early '50s and they are still here. They still got more than 2 million votes. It may mean they would never again risk coalition with a right-wing party again.

What do you reckon an EU exit would do for folks like you and Philip? Make much difference or not? Will we see the repatriation of 3 million pensioners and resting bank robbers from the Costa Del Sol if they can't use the native health service??

I have no clue Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 This election demonstrates it is the people who need to re-connect with the politicians and what exactly they want, not the other way round. No use in saying Labour need to do this or that as they've been hilariously pulled by those in the center-right and left. No use in disrespecting politicians to the point where you elect college graduates instead, because "They don't do nuffin for us anymore". The polling suggests the British public are as dishonest as the politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point, I think that most intelligent French people realise that the loss of the Brit disposable income would do huge harm to the French economy, especially here in Brittany. 30 years ago Brittany was dying on it's arse, 35k drive in some cases for a supermarket and 50k for DIY stores, in the 13 years I have been here even the more remote areas there is usually one of these within a very easy commute, all bringing more employment, the use of French artisans, buying French goods, would all be harmed incredibly, basically Brittany WOULD probably die on it's arse. But who knows it's an unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM91 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well Done David Cameron. For anyone feeling bad for the left wing loony bin, imagine this. SNP have the same 56 seats, but conservatives and Labour are relatively equal on 280 or 260. For all the Guardian tosspots will scream "scare tactics" (ignoring the ironic negativity of their go to claim the Tories will ruin the NHS), the UK is in a fragile state but it would have been so much worse without the Conservatives.

England, Faith Restored. Absolutely. The hypocracy is just unbelievable. Dawn Primarolo has just been droning on about these so called "scare tactics". Do they not realise that people are quite capable of making their own decisions ? They don't necessarily follow the instructions of the paper they read. I read the Express and I didn't vote UKIP. England has just voted overwhelmingly Conservative. Janette Krankie has been saying over and over again that she wanted Millipede's help "to lock Cameron out of No. 10". Well England has given it's answer, it will choose it's government, whether she and Salmond like it or not. Krankie is the cause of these "scare tactics", nobody else.

As an ex cabinet minister under Blair he would say that wouldn't he. I just don't think being a Tory Lite brand is going to convince anyone. They do need not to **** about for a year though.
