    Well it's looking likely that there will be a hung parliment and then a LIB-LAB pact. Welcome back to the past.

        We only ever learn one thing from history: that we never learn anything from history.

          Cameron detoxed the tories. Perhaps that is all he is good for.

          Personally I think he's not too bad, and a fairly good presenter, but his policy unit needs a big kick up the arse. They are making monkeys of themselves by announcing pointless policies and changing others.

          Christ, there are people on here who could make a better fist of it, and I don't mean cybertory.

            He's got light weight chancellor - Osborne, he should have had the guts to kick him out and get Ken Clarke in. He kind of did it but in a way that is only hurting him.

              Ken Clarke is a rabid Eurofanatic. If he did that, the Tories would start fighting over Europe again.

              Maybe John Redwood, or Norman Tebbit for chancellor. Either of them would put the cat among the pigeons.

                Considering the markets have been pricing in a decisive Tory victory followed by draconian moves to get the budget deficit down for the past year it’s going to be very interesting to see how they react to the possibility of another Brown led government.

                I presume the media will make the consequences of a Sterling crisis and a buyers strike in the gilts markets crystal clear to the electorate - £1.50 a litre at the petrol pumps and much higher mortgage rates should focus voter’s minds wonderfully when they go to the polls.

                  Ken Clarke seems a well balanced Euro enthusiast to me.

                    Cameron = Blair clone = No hoper = No policies = Just lies and spin = Bad news for UK = Labour win a 2015 election = Even worse news for UK.

                      Agree he's the weak link. He's hardly done any 'real' work in his life and the main reason for being in the cabinet seems to be the fact that he went to Eton - something that I do find distasteful about Cameron's leadership - sure Eton is a fine educational establishment and will naturally produce a large number of high fliers, but there must be some bright people that didn't go there.
