Nah only some of our ex-councillors are behind bars. Our local MPs, current and ex, couldn't do dodgy things because they are in London so expenses were allocated differently.

MPs who want to keep their seat now campaign continuously.Originally posted by AtW View Post
Local seat is controlled by Gisela, she is very good with updating on what she does during her term, not just before elections - I got no desire of being an MP anyway, even if the prospect was realistic (which it ain't in my locality and I am not moving somewhere else just for the sake of it)
It's very amusing at local charity things to see the relevant local MP drop in for 5 minutes to get photos taken to be put on their twitter feed.

I knew he was lying .Originally posted by AtW View PostIn retrospect I think it was fooking amazing!
This makes me even more engry about lying toad Gidiot who blamed LibDems for inability to drop 50% rate to 40% and also for slow/lack of cuts in spending
Unfortunately the LIb Dems had a cr*p leader. Such a shame Charles Kennedy was an alcoholic in many ways......

Not with Gidiot/Cameron in office and Labour imploding.Originally posted by AtW View PostI am unelectable
Both parties like well to do immigrants who are now British and have the right values of hard work.
You would need to choose a party, any party that has a hope of getting elected in the area you choose and have moderate values.
Though expect hate (e)mail from old people or young people depending on what party you choose and what you vote for/against.

Camoron expressed his admiration for Bliar in the past, both him and Gidiot are piss poor versions of Bliar/Brown - at least the latter had common sense to actually appease their core voters rather than screw them over hoping that core voters of the other party would vote for them next time. Camoron/Gidiot defy logic in what they are doing, but since the whole Conservative party is more or less silent I treat it as them all being guiltyOriginally posted by ZARDOZ View PostI would expect a Brown Blair type government to tax exactly like this
The "elites" of ConLibLab should be very afraid - their actions will end up in some populist leader that would cost them dearly - this is already happening in many countries, not just Greece, but also look at USA with Trump or other Western Europe states.Last edited by AtW; 2 March 2016, 17:02.

Part 1 yes (ish)Originally posted by AtW View PostOsborne moved way past center right into Labour territory - he is gambling heavily on being able to buy cheaply many votes on their side than he would lose on Conservative side with increased taxes (Waldorks are expected to continue to vote for Cons again anyway).
The issue isn't Labour, you can't have expectations of them cutting taxes, the real issue is that Camoron and Gidiot turned Conservative party into Bliar/Brown Labour equivalent, at the wrong time too (for us).
Part 2 I don't expect Labour to cut tax, but I would expect a Brown Blair type government to tax exactly like this, except their policies would be pleasing to some of the people who switched to Tory and therefore would be an electoral threat forcing Osborne to keep at least his demographic happy. Osborne is screwing the working and middle class and if you are a rural conservative you are especially screwed.Last edited by ZARDOZ; 2 March 2016, 17:02.

If the opposition were more to the centre Osborne could not do as much.
