No, I think the trouble is a coalition that just doesn't seem to be Tory enough; given a Tory majority I think things could be different.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
I think not much will change, Labour lead is only 5 points, both parties polling in the 30s.
Will be another coalition, probably with the Lib Dems in the driving seat again."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

A stamp duty holiday or raise the 3% threshold.
I think it's scandalous that one has to fork out £7500 in duty when buying a house worth £250000.Comment

I really am worried that Labour will get back in.
The sad reality of this country, is people can't get their head around the fact that good intentions != good results.
Essentially, the Tories make the country competitive again after a Labour spending spree, and everyone hates them for it. Then Labour get back in and buy votes on debt and everyone loves them.
Morons never seem to make the connection that it's Labour causing poverty and tulip wages by virtue of the fact that they constantly bankrupt the nation.Comment

Maybe, but in 2014 they'll be allowed to work in Germany, NL, Belgium, Austria, and a few other places too, so why whould they go to Britain if they can earn more somewhere else?Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostThe first pictures in the press of Romanians and Bulgarians on their way here in 2014 and Cameron is finished.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Yup, me too. Unfortunately though, people now realise that they can vote themselves more money. Voting Tory isn't going to improve their situation tomorrow although it will do in the future; voting Labour means more money tomorrow regardless of the consequences.Originally posted by Robinho View PostI really am worried that Labour will get back in.Comment
