On Friday morning, people will be saying, 'oh no ' they got in, then hell for the next five years, The election will gives us a party that will go on tv, to brag at what they are going to achieve, and it will be a load of crap, IF the Tories get in, then prepare yourself for Thatcher 2, as that is what is going to happen. That is my last word on the subject.

Thatcher 2 -oh be still my beating heart .
this country needs a leader not a blundering economist like Brown.

Oi. You said you weren't posting any more in this thread!

Anyway for my money Thatcher was one of the better PM's of the last century.

absolute rubbish arthur ,

i'll grant that there were some some things she did that were unpopular even wrong in the eyes of some but you have to accept that she dragged this country kicking and screaming out of a labour made nightmare

oh and by "great country" i presume you mean one crippled with strikes, massive inflation huge over spending rubbish in the streeets and dead bodies un buried ...yeah truly great

I think I may have asked this previously but given you've heard them all speak now maybe you're in a better position to say why you've been mentioning voting Labour since the first posts on the thread after you realised you could vote and what's confirmed it for you now.

I have to say it's changed from me blindly supporting Labour just because I despise Cameron and now it's down to the fact that I just believe in them more than I do any other party.

As soon as Cameron gets in, the first cuts will be NHS, no matter what Cameron say's, they believe in the private sector for health, as it will save them millions, Education, they have stated in this campaign, that would like to see parents take more control of there school and there child's education, this will save them more millions,.

We have to have a government that will look after EVERYONE, not just the ponces who plough millions into the parties, the working class in this country that supply the food that we eat, the workers that run the railways, public sector workers that provide vital services, ie drs and nurses that look after the sick for a paltry wage, yet the pen pushers that bring in agency staff, as double wages, when normal staff can get the extra money to boost there normal wages.

I don't think the Tories will do this, this is why l say VOTE LABOUR.

That's strange, Arthur - in a previous version of this thread (Week 2, post #213, 16/04/2010 @15:20) you said

After last nights debate, it goes to prove that the Tories won't come forward with any finance and talk all a load of crap, Gordon Brown did have a fight, but to me Clegg came out on top and for that my vote is going to him.

Don't worry, he's been in for reprogramming since then. Note he's stopped reading the Star and reverted to the Mirror. Dead giveaway.

**Hugh** · 03-05-2010, 18:54

Resistance is futile...........

**Chris** · 03-05-2010, 18:59

I was thinking more like in V, where you can tell if someone's been converted when they switch from being right- to left-handed.

Arthurgray50@blu · 03-05-2010, 19:01

ha, ha, no my money is on CLEGG, if l was a betting man, l would go for a shock, as even on the 'table' on this forum, it is neck and neck Tory / Lib.

Just as well you're not a betting man then Arthur. Have a look at the swingometer on the BBC Election 2010 website - it will educate you as to the futility of the Lib Dem cause. It is virtually impossible for them to increase their share of the seats much beyond about 120 without a massive, massive swing in their favour - much bigger than even recent polls have been giving them. A bet on Clegg becoming PM this week is a total waste of money.

The Lib Dems may of course win some influence in a hung parliament but that's another matter.

However, please do tell us, why are you suddenly shouting VOTE LABOUR when you have been telling us for months that your sitting Labour MP was an idiot and you were refusing to vote for him?

03-05-2010, 19:42

Labour have had thriteen years to start something on all these issues that they are suddenly passaionate about and have done bugger all so that alone tells you all you need to know. Lib dems are saying things that appeal to a wide audience but on close scrutiny some of their policys unravel quite alarmingly and the economics show where vince cable was taken apart was also not good fortunately for them very few seem to have seen\heard about it.

Are the torys the dream package hell no of course they are not but right now they seem more practical then the alternatives despite some of their shadow ministers (step forward chris "foot in mouth" grayling) being less then confidence inspiring. Welfare does need reform and every sensible person in the UK acknowledges that and the tory idea of everyone being assessed again to determine wotk ability seems fine to me as long as it isn't wholly atos doing it.

Training again is something DC talks of a lot and i would dearly love to see a proper training regime in the UK so we do fill some of the skills gaps with our own people long term rather then keep importing them in. Nick clegg talks about a britain fair for all then has a load of policys ready to hit that will smack those who work hard create wealth and jobs and basically punish those who are stupid enough to gain wealth. Having a brother that stands to be hit massively by the lib dems i admit i am not in favour of them getting in as if labour or the lib dems get in he is off out of the UK taking his tax and ni contributions with him and probably at least a few hundred jobs as well.

People constantly slag the torys because they are not hostile to the rich and thats the way it should be we shouldn't be hostile to people that make jobs and wealth in this country we should encourage more to do it and help them to do it. Neither of the alternatives in this election really hold that view although labour saying one thing right now means nothing were they to get back in as we all know and have had ample proof of for the last thirteen years.
