Where do you think we will be in 12 months

With all the doom and gloom on a daily basis. Property, jobs, failing businesses strength of the pound etc etc where do you think we will be this time next year. Will there be much left on the High St Will we have had or heading towards an election. How much more will Brown have to prop up ? and will any of it be worth propping up other than for folk to keep their jobs ? I have witnessed recessions but we seem to be on one hell of a roller coaster and no one can find the brakes.

Brown is not propping anything up for jobs etc hes only buying the next election. Remember 90% of the population have no idea whats coming to them.

Well, you lot voted Labour in, despite ignoring their 1974-1979 administration which proved they couldn't run a whelk stall let alone a Government.

You reap what you sow.........

Depends on who wins the now very, very likely May 2009 election.

Clown: I'll be looking emigrate as England middle-class men will be totally shafted as we sink into a socialist utopia.

Dave: Well, it'll be like 1979 again as the need to restore sound money means that interest rate will be up to 10% and the necessary structural adjustments take place. As soon as they see 'the books' I'd expect them to reveal that finances are 100% worse than Clown will admit to. Pretty much everything in the public sector is now broken; Dave need to rein in the police state and repatriate approx. 200,000 Islamic fifth-columnists.

You meant "90% of the population have no idea".

Why do you think Governments are so keen on the Comprehensive education system?

Anyway to answer your question, i think everyone will have different opinions therefore not really relevant. But i do think anyone with a brain will hope Brown and his shower are history and we are taking our medicine and rebuilding the shattered economy. Yes this will mean high interest rates much tighter borrowing, weened of cheap tack from china. In the real long term we need to start making things again, but one thing for certain is we have a lot of medicine to take.

Perhaps if we elected honest MPs of any party we'd get a good Government but when some people are elected they forget that they're there to serve the people and just help themselves.

Your naivete is touching.

When was the last time ANY Cabinet Minister had to deal with, say, road rage or trick-or-treaters?

They don't because they're shielded from everything that the average man in the street faces by security guards.

Ergo, Government will never represent the ordinary man in the street.

And ergo, voting is pointless.

What about representing the ordinary woman in the street?

Are there any in the street?

I thought they were all too busy with their Marigolds on at the kitchen sink?
