I was talking about the impact of the 1974-1979 and the 1997-2010 Labour Governments. Same result each time. Spend too much money and tell the incoming Conservative Government there's no money left.

If you're talking about Brexit, I'm looking forward the the soon to be realised golden age for our economy as we divest ourselves of EU shackles and boldly go... well, you get the picture! :D

Interesting possible development in the UK political party structures.

Brexit: Vince Cable refuses to say if he missed crucial votes to discuss creation of new pro-EU party

Vince Cable is refusing to say if he missed crucial Commons votes on Brexit because he was discussing the creation of a new pro-EU party.
The Liberal Democrats are remaining tight-lipped over their leader’s embarrassing absence, amid a report that he was at a dinner with backers of a new movement.
Sir Vince has said publicly that “new groups may emerge” as Britain’s traditional political system implodes because of bitter splits within the big parties over Brexit.

Well, with Brexit less than a year away, he's a bit behind the times, isn't he? He's missed the boat.

Once we're out, we will only be able to re-join the EU on worse terms than we have now, so if he's thinking of joining or creating a pro-Europe party, the project will be doomed to failure.

Sounds like our Vince is following the patron saint of lost causes.

I don't think you will be saying that when Theresa comes away with the deal so many thought she could not reach.

It's 80% agreed already, remember. We are approaching the final straight.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

She'll come away with some sort of "deal". Whether that is Brexit or BINO remains to be seen after Barnier and co. have torn it to shreads.

Maybe she thinks that 48% still in the EU and 52% out is "Honouring the referendum result" Her words not mine.:rolleyes:

Cameron came back with a "deal" that had all the substance of Will o'the Whisp. I doubt May will do any better.

I think you've got mixed up Old Boy, just ask one of your favourite streaming providers and I'll see you in the right thread.
