    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.

    I knew he was lying .

    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.

    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 guilty

    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.

    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 1 yes (ish)

    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.
