tony13579 Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Once again if I was voting for Sandra or Caroline Nokes it would be lib dem Sandra Gidley who worked hard on health issues. A month after campaigning on family values Nokes admitted an affair. I haven't seen any positive action dice she got voted in. Cameron has been a damp squib. Bleating out "tough but fair" as he does the opposite. His changes have hit some time after time. Whilst others are barely affected. A little gem was closing the warm front scheme that insulates & repairs heating for the poor and old and making the energy suppliers do it. That is effectively a tax rise on fuel! As if gas and electric wasn't expensive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bognor Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 (edited) If there was an election tomorrow, I'd vote for.........., **** it, me. I have had enough, all politicians of all parties are ****s and with me at the helm, I would put the great back into Britain. Common sense would prevail and we would ALL be better off for it. If I can get Fuengirola Saint, VFTT and Dune to agree with me, it is clear that I would be the party of all persuasions. If there was an election tomorrow, I would stand as a common sense independent. Vote Johnny B Edited 16 January, 2011 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperm_john Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Part of the problem is this 'gang' mentality that we see in politics not just in the UK but world wide (especially the US) ...as the comedian Chris Rock says ...'anyone who makes up their mind before hearing the issue is a damn fool' ... and that's exactly what countless people do by aligning themselves with a political party out right ...automatically this or that because they are tory or labour ..before the election I kept an open mind, I even did some of those online questionnaires to see where I should be voting in terms of the issues etc, it came out conservative but my family have always voted labour ...I was a bit torn but in the end the economic record of labour swung me to conservative ...I went to the in laws and the father in law is a labour supporter and I felt really pressured for saying I was voting tory, like I was a bad person, and at the end of the day ..that kind of stereotyping etc has got a lot to answer for ..

Johnny Bognor Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 (edited) Are you thinking of a Confederacy of Dunces? As it happens, you can be intelligent with little common sense. Intelligence is great for academia and certificates, but does not guarantee success. A party with common sense, drive, ambition, guts and a bit of nous will make this country great again. For the academics amongst us, who don't buy into my vision, they are welcome to be university lecturers, in order that they can feel secure in their closeted world, intellectualising to their hearts content. My party is a party for all (including Film Studies graduates. oh, and intellectuals too), and you are either on the bus or at the bus stop. A vote for Johnny B, is a vote for a great future. It is as simple as that. Edited 16 January, 2011 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Bognor Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 (edited) That speech gave me an erection. I just checked the thread title and it definately said "if there was an election tomorrow". Anyway, I am honoured as I don't ever recall Cameron, Clegg or Miliband turning you on. Those with errectile disfunction will be turning to my party on mass and we will no longer be known as a nation of softies.

Deppo Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 They could never turn me on individually, but seeing their names all together there makes my withered-on-the-vine genitals stir a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 (edited) andy, would that be a change to your previous vote? cheers for that comment trousers, I got used to the brickbats around election time but took it on the chin. I like to get my opinion across and felt that not voting could be mis construed as not caring. I don't think that I have ever cared more than I do right now tbh. I am even considering leaving the union for the fisrt time since i first started wok such is my astonishment at their lack of resolve. How do we go about getting a poll Mods? I only turned 18 in december, so could not vote in the previous election. However, I did support the Lib Dems and for example at the electon count at my constituency I had a Lib Dem rosette and was with the Lib Dems so if I could have voted it would have been Liberal Democrat. Labour are probably not quite ready for government at the moment, as it seems to be the case for a few years after a party is kicked out. I don't mind the coalition, as I believe it to be better than the alternative which would have been a Tory minority government or a Tory majority government(after parliament had collapsed due to there being no stable government), both reliant and held to ransom by the Conservative 'Far Right'. I'm much happier with the current arrangement where by they can be ignored and a more centrist agenda be followed. The more seats the Lib Dems have the greater their influence, so I would most likely vote Liberal Democrat to help achieve this.

Maybe when Alan Johnson finishes his book on 'basic economics' he would make a great chancellor ? In the meantime I reckon that they would take us even closer to the bankruptcy that they almost achieved after 13 years of government !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until the crash, our debt and deficit was lower than when labour came to power. Labour did not chronically overspend for 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour did not chronically overspend for 13 years. Not quite sure about that: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/5097706.stm Remember that this was over a year before the financial crisis. In their early tenure, they didn't overspend. For the first two years, Brown adopted tory spending plans, however once Brown started to believe his own hype, he went on a spending spree.
