    easy to love a person with no positions on 99.999% of the issues of the day.
    yes, it's such a change for the electorate to find a candidate that listens to what they want, what else do you expect them to do?

    I think they are making some good decisions and some very poor decisions.

    The labour party are no longer the party for the workers, the Conservatives are at least trying with their make work pay attempt - will it work, yet to be seen.

    The country cannot spend its way out of the current situation, we need to lower public expenditure and increase income and stop increasing our debt every year.

    What do people propose the Conservatives do differently, should we just keep borrowing?

    I fully respect your right to vote for some-one with no position on dealing with national debt, housing, arab spring, education, transport, level of benefits, afganistan, level of taxation, london airport, hs2, euro, global warming, trashing the north sea, civil liberties, level of policing, phone hacking, rubbish collection, youth clubs, sports facilities
    however, I don't particularly see it a realistic way to run a whelk store let alone the country unless of course you are an extreme laissey-faire right wing conservative.

    No.
    I only despise people whose main philosophy seems to be one of hating others.

  • The simple answer is "Yes". You do despise the Tories.

    I strongly suspect they have no love for you either.

    I don't at all
    The fact is, our country cannot support the free for all that labour tried to give us, it was a nice idea, it just wasnt realistic. Its like someone pretending they are rich because they live off credit cards
    The problem is, now, a large part of the voting public have grown up under the labour regime, got used to it, and now don't like it as its time for a reality check. The problem is, these people will now want the current government out and at about the time that the counrty will be on its way to recovery, Labour will be voted back in and ruin it all
