solentstars Posted 7 December, 2012 Share Posted 7 December, 2012 Exactly! If I was in parliament, I would be angry with the state of the economy whatever party I was in. People used to go in to politics because they wanted to make things better and cared for the country. These prats (LibLabCons) just want a career and don't care about the people.agree i don,t think we had any party with any vision for decades .

bridge too far Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 Just watching his Autumn Statement response.... oh dear... Agree entirely. His delivery is not good but the tenet of what he says is bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really, I am a Tory at heart but in essence I wouldnt want them to have more then two terms as it seems whoever is in power after that seems to just go into meltdown. Whilst I disagree with Brands overall assessment I do agree changes need to happen, politicians no longer represent and act for the people, it seems they just act for their own personal agenda.

tony13579 Posted 6 December, 2013 Share Posted 6 December, 2013 The idea that Ed Balls could be Chancellor after an election is very scary. He is as dangerous as a wrecking ball in a china shop. He has the ability to make cuts but not the ability to know where not to make cuts. He is hated by every department he has meddled with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 7 December, 2013 Share Posted 7 December, 2013 I seriously can't believe Balls is still around. Why didn't he scurry down the same hole as his idiot mate Brown? How can he even show his face in public after being a key advisor to arguably the most fiscally damaging, misguided and discredited Chancellorship ever seen in the UK?

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 agree i don,t think we had any party with any vision for decades . as Labour found out in the 80s, if you have too strong a vision then you end up turning half the electorate against you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey_saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 as Labour found out in the 80s, if you have too strong a vision then you end up turning half the electorate against you I prefer to think that it was more down to the idea that if you press the right buttons (wag the dog etc) you'll always find enough right wingers to vote you in office no matter what the reality of the situation is and they'll always resort to personality attacks, bang on about "traditional values", screw the poorman and just generally appeal to a more basal attitude(just read some of the comments from the blue majority on this board).
