'hurt folks'

Could you be a little more specific om who those 'folks' might be please?

plebs? prols? definitely not the 'posh poodles' anyway!

The Deliberate Impoverishment Of Population economic model is outdated these days, and not working!

Just a thought. If half of UKIP voters supported the Tories at the last election, how many of them would vote UKIP in their constituency if it meant they'd get a Labour MP as a result? (I'll give you a clue, it rhymes with duck ball).

It's one thing telling a pollster you'll vote in a particular way, it's a very different thing doing it in practice. I voted Labour more than once to help keep the BNP out.

Come off, it. The only tough choice Red Ed ever had to make was whether to take Marx or Engels as his holiday reading.

Cameron is, clearly, a revolting specimen. But anyone who thinks Mlliband (either of them) is any less greasy, hopelessly inexperienced, and the product of a mypioc, privileged background, is badly deluded.

The older and vastly experienced members of both parties must be feeling rather unimpressed with these socalled 'leaders' of their respected parties.

I do wonder how long it will be before Boris takes over the Tory party. People may think what they will about his buffoonery but he has a popular touch and is certainly very charismatic.

I'm not sure Labour have an equivalent, someone who can inspire the waverers and the doubters.

The labour equivalent is none other than chukka umuna, that great pillar of knowledge, experience and wisdom.

He was also described in the New Statesman as "a Barack Obama for Britain".

Umunna perhaps? This geezer:

In his favour is that he has at least done something since Uni other than Politicking. He's been promoted pretty quickly which means he's either very good or a good arslikka.

He seems too young to be especially charismatic. He is good looking which helps a huge amount.

That's the one.

I was being sarcastic about his qualities. Whatever they may be, they do not include charisma, knowledge, wisdom or experience.
