How Gordon can win the next election..?

[OwlHoot]

I won't be on the voters role so just asking
Are the liberal democrats crap as well?

Yes, they're the crappest of the lot. But luckily we've never had to find out the hard way.

Remember that film about the bus wired to explode if it slows below 50 MPH? Well, using that analogy, we're the passengers, and Brown is the manic driver _and_ the guy who wired up the bomb!

The only way to avoid calamity is to cut public spending; but that would mean a cut in GDP, which Brown has now promised wil improve by the end of this year. So the only thing he can do is keep flooring it and hope to God the bus doesn't explode before the election, if you see what I mean.

So how do passengers get off the speeding bus before it explodes?

I was under the impression that the Lib Dems were half-way between Labour and the Tories. Doesn't that make them neutral ground? And how can they be crap if they've never been given the chance?

I'll vote Labour. All they have to do is bring me a new Maserati before the election and my vote is guaranteed.

Why don't the Liblabs seize the moment, promise to tackle immigration and screw the greedy bankers?

The proles would be falling over themselves getting to to the ballet box.

That's how, by making everyone "rich" again thorugh rising house prices.

Wars, immigrants, jobs, laws, MP's expenses are irrelavent as long as the house is going up.

True - I was rather disappointed that the Lib Dem rep on that BNP Question Time show hardly said anything. Everybody else just jumped in and it was like he was waiting for them to give him his turn.

I'll be voting via proxy for the LibDems.

Always struck me growing up how being left or right wing was a more appealing path for many teenagers. A black and white world is easier to understand and defend, for good or ill.

I voted LibDem in '97 but was still relieved the Tories were ousted. But I had not a few arguments with friends who rejoiced in Labour coming to power; couldn't they see the dearth of talent there (Blair excepted, not that I'm a fan) and how much they'd lost with the death of John Smith? Didn't they recognise type of politican Blair was and the people he surrounded himself with? The Ecclestone affair, so early on, set the tone.

The middle ground hasn't been fashionable for years in the UK, but at least I know where I am with regard to civil liberties and unwarranted foreign wars. As for the economy, Cable had Brown's number a few years back. Cameron and Osbourne? In what shape or form are they political heavyweights? Cameron has never achieved anything in private industry; he's another career politician from la-de-dah stock who'll tell you do as I say, not as I do.

Gordon came to my office last week and gave a very good speech - I have to say, he took a lot of time to research the company, and time to meet and greet.

I honestly see him in a different light now.

Which worries me!
