This is true, but what should have happened is the Tory should have took office and cut quickly and deeply in the first few months, this could have been squarely and accurately blamed on Labour. It would have worked and by the next election things would have been looking up. They would have been seen as the party that gets things done.Originally posted by Robinho View PostCameron is alright. Problem is Labour have destroyed the country for the next 10 years at least, yet people will still vote for more pie.
Instead we have pretend austerity, cuts that amount to spending more than during the Labour boom years. Which means by the end of the term we will be in just as much tulip as in 2010 if not more and pathetic u-turns on things that would make no difference like a tax on pastries.
Next election Labour will win.Comment

I would have thought Milliband has painted a target on his foot.
Every time he says anything Cameron can draw parrallels - oh look Millipede wants to sell off the gold -its Gordon Brown again, oh ;look he wants to act tough while doing dodgy deals its Mandleson over again, oh look he wants to rattle his sabre so he can get elected again.
Millipede the Deja vu man!
Go CMD!Comment

If it wasn't for Milliband i might agree but i just can't see him being the PM of the UK.Originally posted by escapeUK View PostThis is true, but what should have happened is the Tory should have took office and cut quickly and deeply in the first few months, this could have been squarely and accurately blamed on Labour.

I think a lot of people who voted Liberal in the past will not do infuture, especially students. I doubt they would go Tory, so Labour seems obvious.Originally posted by Robinho View PostIf it wasn't for Milliband i might agree but i just can't see him being the PM of the UK.

UKIP is who I will be voting for, not that I think it will count or that they would win.
I doubt the Torys want to win though, they might actually have to do something rather than kicking the can down the road.Comment

They won't be much different to this lot.Originally posted by Robinho View PostIf Labour get in it will be end of this country. Which is sad.
Sure, there will be some new window dressing but deep down they'll be doing what their puppet masters tell them to do.Comment
