Reply to: Labour are marching back

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.

The media are unlikely to do that. The media for the masses anyway.

It's best that that it happens and then smart arses (like me) can go around saying "I told you so" and get probably get lynched.

I've got no sympathy for the British people anymore. They were warned by loads of people, but ignored them.

I say, "you voted for 'em, now live with what you have done".

I haven't got a problem with Eton old boys in the government.

Better them than ship stewards, shop stewards, lecturers in politics, and students from Fettes who sat at the Gallowgate end at the age of two watching Jackie Milburn.

Yeah, don't want the likes of Pitt the Younger.

He's hardly done any 'real' work in his life

That is true for too damn many MPs, especially in the cabinet / shoadow cabinet. They are career politicians who have never held down a real job or had proper life experience.

Once upon a time you were expected to have achieved something with your life before even standing as an MP.

"I studied law / economics, then failed to get a job but I'm a good bulltulipter and a smarmy bastard so I went into politics" does not strike me as a good reason to run a country.

It is certainly not a good reason to vote for someone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ken Clarke seems a well balanced Euro enthusiast to me.

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.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.

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

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

My bro used to be a campaign manager for one of the big parties ( not Labour ) and he thinks Labour are going to win.
