Saw this on newswipe and was very impressed, I'm having to quote as it is very clear and concise view of modern polictics.

As for David Cameron being a PR man i don't really see what he can do for us as PM, other than bulltulip and look good.

And me, this is another gem from the current series: How To Report The News

He could be a fall guy, scapegoat and an object of derision while everyone falls about laughing at what they left him?

Paralysed politics, rinse and repeat but nothing will get better... ever.

Two reasons:

1) Gordon Brown may be hopeless but people recognise David Cameron is no better, a Blair-wannabe who tells people what he thinks they want to hear
2) People haven't forgotten the state the country was in when the Tories exited power in 1997.

I remember the country being in fine state, it was the sleaze that got the Tories booted.

OK, so I know I’m a British citizen, but I have real concerns about the average intelligence of the British people. Britain has the worst government in the whole of western Europe. A government that consistently spent more than it had during growth years and then printed money to throw at the problems it had caused. A government that dreams up new taxes every day to feed the money eating machine it has created, but even when higher revenues come in, still cannot do the most basic task of any businessperson or homeowner; balance the books. A government that has lied to send British troops to an illegal war. A government that cooperated with imprisonment without trial and tortureand curtailed civil liberties to a point that British people are now subjugated, controlled, observed and documented almost as much as East Germans under the Stasi.

And then I open the paper and see that 33% of British people are going to vote Labour at the next election. What in heaven’s name is wrong with them? Has some hideous brain devouring worm infected Britain? Is there something in the water?

My goodness, we have our fair share of morons in Holland, but this is really hopeless.

How dare you Sir. They have every right to vote for the people who gave them their passports.

The problem is....

the paper

It's mostly lies but the British public suck it up. I suspect the 33% is a lie.

inherit an economic nightmare that may see us going to the IMF, Britain bankrupt and his being a legacy for failure

He would have been fine if he held an election as soon as he took over leadership of Nu Labour.

Luckily for us he didn't

Perhaps people think Dave’s just too nice to be given such a tulipty job. A bit like that Obama chappy who seems a nice chap as well; the septic racists had to choose a man for the worst job in the world so they picked a black guy.
