Answer: "5 more years of Gordon Brown"

Really2

Most people who have lived through a labour government always say how bad they left the economy and spent everything.

So in reality party's always get voted out for screwing up. Labour should go for overspending before the recession and not actually saving anything when we were in a boom.

Nosht

& we have to pay for it no matter who wins.

For me, what really hacks me off is the total lack of self sufficiency left in the UK.

People now expect others to pay, then complaining when they have to pay for someone else. Why cant people look after themsevles anymore?

Question:

"In the forthcoming era of austerity, what would be better than electing a gang of old Etonians who have zero sympatico with the lives of ordinary people and whose idea of 'we're all in this together' includes welcoming on board rich, non-dom liars who deprive the NHS and education of hundreds of millions in tax avoidance?"

There you go, Camertoff. Answering your riddles is hardly the stuff of rocket science.

A gang of old Etonians?? I doubt the number who went to Eton who are in the shadow cabinet constitute a 'gang', shall we count how many of the current Cabinet went to fee paying schools? However, the bottom line here is that it is largely an irrelevance and I will not choose someone on the basis of what school they attended 25 years previously.

Grow up please.

Ooh, I've thought of another question:


"What might be a better election option than a party whose only clearly stated manifesto commitment so far is a repeal of the hunting ban and whose leaders have stated publicly that they would have allowed the banking system to collapse, together with your current and deposit accounts..?"

This is fun.

It would be even 'funnier' to have another 5 years of Gordo and Co. Not having a busy day at work today then? Or you work in the public sector.

Grown ups, unlike your good self, usually take the view that the experience of one's formative years often colours one's perceptions of matters in later life.

You can go back to the Raj situation of the Thatcher years if you want, with a cabinet stuffed with Sir This and Lord That and nobody but nobody therein having the remotest of intentions of ever using the state systems of which they themselves were in charge, but don't expect me to follow you...

You're wasting your time. Never argue with this sort of socialist - they are almost invariably jealous of the success of others and so are impervious to logical argument.

Apparently, all Tories are Toffs, hunt foxes, send their children to public schools and buy things made by children in 3rd world sweatshops because they like to see poor people suffer.

Labourites are all decent, salt of the earth types who send their children to the local comp, would never sell their convictions for a fist full of coins and the words 'sustainable' and 'ethical' dominate their consumption.

Life's pretty simple when you look at it in that way. It's a lot like racism IMO - if all blacks are muggers and all jews are money grabbers then a complex world becomes easier to deal with.

So a system where insolvent business is allowed to continue is preferable?

Great news, what next, a free 8 year old for every peado? Free skeleton key for every burglar.

Don't forget they would never put false expense claims in either. Only the conservatives are on the gravy train according to them.

Most MP's are rich as otherwise it is very hard to fund a career in politics until it starts to pay.
But it seems sum from the poorer backgrounds got a bit greedy and got their hands caught in the till.
Some of the conservative claims were wrong (moat and duck house spring to mind) but using the lapse rules to your advantage and fraud are two different things IMHO.
