Oh, I forgot.
Rachel Reeves should be Labour leader, she's quite pretty.

.... alternatively he did exactly as he said he would, which is refreshing for a politician! He stepped down to allow others to have a go should they wish. As you say he will probably be back in September, but that's only if the party want him back.0 -

He can if he wants.
The Secretary of State for Scotland should be a SNP MP, as they have virtually all the seats.
I doubt they would accept the position, but Dave should offer it and see what the response is.'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -

Of all the bigger parties in the UK, the Lib Dems are the only ones that have managed to marry both wings with any success. Perhaps it's their time.
Interesting you think the Lib/ Dems will bounce back from 8 MP's, yet Labour appear to effectively be a lost cause (unless they change) with 232 seats.
I know labour need to re-focus their efforts, but statistically, they increased their vote by double the percentage that the Conservatives, so maybe it's focusing on the right areas under the FPTP system that they need to do
Conservatives increased their vote by 0.8% (circa 90,000) gaining 24 seats and Labour by 1.5% (circa 140,000) losing 26 seats:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

I am disclined to knock a politician for keeping to their promises just this once.:)
Don't worry. He's just decided to go back on his promise. Thank god for the common sense, honest, trustable approach that a deluded minority think UKIP encapsulate!Having a signature removed for mentioning the removal of a previous signature. Blackwhite bellyfeel double plus good...0
