Declare a state of emergency/war/terrorist alert?

It'll be too expensive to hold an election.

They'll have to wait until the banks have paid the money back.

Could be a long wait.

eh whats goign on here?

ive seen 3 posts by expat..

"One thing is going to stop that, and it is the opposite of what all you Tories think it is: He is actually a good Chancellor, but not a good PM. So he looks good now, because he is being the real Chancellor again. When he goes back to being PM he may revert.

Unless of course by that time the job of PM consists mostly of governing the banks and markets....."

and

"because its all true"

now just the 1.. eh

I edited one post down to the essence, and then realised that gave me 2 more or less identical, so deleted 1 of them.

But I can spout it all over again if you like my writing so much though actually it was stolen from the Deadly Torygraph.
