Your fickleness somewhat refutes the demands for universal suffrage.
The election results of the last few decades haven't exactly supported the cause either.
I think you'll find that the criteria that I used is probably more sophisticated than a lot of people who will make their way to the polls next year.0 -
Yes, it's been downhill all the way since dearest Margaret was stabbed in the back !!0

Labour break the economy EVERY TIME!!
Every government breaks the economy, and if they don't it breaks itself. This time it's a mixture of both. Then we vote them out, and feel better for a bit. It's mainly psychological, like sacking the manager when your football team loses, better to sack the players, really.Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!0 -
I reckon that Brown will leave it as late as possible. No one knows whether this will help him or not. Things could get a lot worse before then, but I suppose he's hoping that some things might get better and he can take credit for it.Happy chappy0

The only good thing about this recession is that it has landed right in Gordon Brown's lap; it would be poetic justice if things were to be picking up just has he tearfully closed the door behind him.0

What we need is a general election where just the generals vote.0

What's so great about a Conservative government? What is David Cameron going to do that's positive?0

I cant see Cameron throwing money at the work shy like Brown have, that's enough to get my vote!0

you should keep in mind that camoron needs a lead in the polls of 8 or 9% to have a majority of one,now even if he starts out at the beginning of an election campaign with 12%or so lead theres no way it will end up anywhere near that on the day(when ever that is,but prob may2010),my bet is that we will see a labour minority govt next year,they will then pull in a few elder lib dems into the cabinet in exchange for a change to PR,then a new election in 2012/13 with possibly almost a 3 way split between libs lab and cons,the downside being that depending on the version of PR that we end up with we may have to stomach 1 or 2 bnp mps0
