Getting ready for a Tory win at the general election.

I bought two very nice Selfridges champagne flutes today and will add to the number in the next few weeks. I am still trying to decide what Champagne to buy in preparation for election night, probably Veuve Cliquot or whatever they have on offer in Selfridges.

I just cannot wait to see the faces of Hazel Blears, Harriet Harperson, Caroline Flint, Gordon Brown et al as the results come in.....

Sorry I am being a little premature......

Don't waste your champagne on a politician. They are not worth it.
You are bound to have something better to celebrate in the next few month surely.

Not since 1992 I live a sheltered but, hopefully soon to be, happier life!

I think this will be analogous to 1992, the Tories are still hated by many people whilst labour made more or less genuine mistakes that they can fix.
I don't think a hated bunch will be given the mandate to run this country.
Now that Labour has moved to the centre ground I don't think there is anything that a hated right wing party can offer that will entice the people away.

Save your receipts at least you can get your money back on the champers.

The Sunday Times is reporting the Tory lead is down to 6% (39% vs 33%)

One possibility if there is a hung parliament: there could be a civil war within the Lib Dems. There is still a delineation between SDP and Liberals within the ranks. Getting so close to power, of a sort, it could split the Libs up apart.

"Hated bunch"? Maybe up north - but nationally the Conservatives are leading in the polls.

As for enticing the people away, how about a party (and a Chancellor/Prime Minister) who won't completely trash the economy by borrowing us into near-bankruptcy!

The Conservative party are not 'hated' up North!!! The Tory party is the most popular party in England, just look at the 2005 GE results!

There is a core Labour vote - generally working class and generally urban, Labour have also tried to manipulate democracy by allowing mass inward migration - whereby they assume migrants are probably more likely to vote for them. This country NEEDS change, it NEEDS leadership and it NEEDS an injection of Common Sense - it will get none of that from the moronic ****holes in the Labour party,

Lol I'm agreeing with you - I've always voted Tory, you're right we do need change after Labour and Gordon Brown managed to completely wreck our economy.

though, to be fair, Conservatives are more or less 100% completely hated up north (believe it or not, my northern mates at university still bleat on about Maggie Thatcher and the bloody coal mines :mad:)
