Chloe Smith - Possibly New MP for Norwich North

[mace]

Looks like David Milliband in disguise. You know that all the mainstream politicians went to the same universites and most of them have switched allegiances at 1 time or another. Don't know why anybody cheers when Labour loses and Tories win. They have the same policies, they're the same chinless wonders.

• Never started a company or run a successful business
• Not raised a family
• No real life experience outside talking shops

& do we really need more wimmin in politics?

I agree 100%. Women have far more other things to worry their pretty little heads about like cooking and cleaning up for their hard working husbands. And to show my appreciation I will allow my wife to pleasure when I return from spending the evening in the pub.

Wow

Tory win..... nice.... 27 year old, could have ben a blair babe had the times been different.

Will the tories really be different? I will still vote for them, but can we have some ugly, whiskey swilling toffs as MPs as well?

At least those whiskey swilling toffs will have a modicum of business experience and commonsense, and know that you should only spend what is affordable.

Oxymoron.

You can have whisky swilling toffs but not whiskey swilling toffs.

Sadly, I'm old enough to know this isn't true. The last 2 recessions happened under a Tory administration and the civil service also increased it's numbers under Thatcher. Thatcher can be thanked for breaking up the more militant unions. The UK economy has been in long term decline since 1870. We've had LibDem, Tory and Labour (old and new) since then without much difference having been made by any of them.

The best (and only good thing) about the Conservatives is they are not New Labour.

That's all you really need to know to vote Conservative.

Is it just me (it may be) but does anyone else find her strangely attractive?

She's pretty but she needs to drop the 'dyke' hairstyle.

FFS.

This is the 21st Century. Is a woman's physical appeal (which is subjective anyway) still the only criteria on which she is going to be judged?

• Never started a company or run a successful business
• Not raised a family
• No real life experience outside talking shops

At least someone can talk some sense on the subject.

1991 was entirely the Tories fault - no doubt about that.

But its unfair to blame them for the early 1980 recession. The country was virtually bankrupt when the Tories came to power and there was no chance of avoiding it.

For instance, next May unemployment will probably be just under 3 million. When the tories win, unemployment will rise over 3 million - and I'm sure 10 years from now, people will spin this as a way of showing that unemployment was higher under the tories, even though it was entirely Labour's fault.

Likewise, statistics show that Labour have the "best record" on repayment of the national debt because the lowest point was just after the 1997 election
