Well you would know. However i don't see any intelligent comments from you at all in this thread just remarks intended to rise a response so you can drag the thread off topic..

I see your Cameron with a Brown



And raise you a Kinnock....

Indeed. Which Muppet does he most resemble?

Jim Henson does not count obviously.

Gordon Brown may as well pack his bags now. What a numpty!

Now THAT'S what I call funny!!

In my mind's eye I can see a picture of Mandelson with head in hands too....

The head of the International Monetary Fund has warned that the crisis in Greece could spread throughout Europe.

Spain's credit rating has been downgrded - how long before the UK's is I wonder? The EU needs to get to grips with this issue but was it ever really going to be possible for such big club of diverse members to act promptly and decisively in such matters??.. The Eurosceptics in parliament must be lapping this up.

Even more likely to vote for him now

You think him insulting someone behind their back then giving a crawling apology is funny?

We don't know what the woman said and GB could be right in calling her what he called her.

Hey I like the bloke and he is the best chance this country has

The other two parties in the running are jokes.

This guy is so disliked his own party has avoided using his image in adverts as much as as possible, but you like him and think he's the best change the country has.

So, very simple question, would you care to explain your opinions to the rest of us?

Here's a post of mine explaining why his economics have been abysmal, perhaps before you were old enough to take an interest in politics or economics but if you stay in the UK you'll be picking up the tab for his mistakes.

So, again, why would you vote for this? I really don't understand? You are aware that sooner or later your taxes have to pay if by some miracle he decides to live up to his promises on public services, and your taxes will be paying the interest bill and debts he chalked up, along with sustaining his massive public sector spending.

So, please, convert me. After all votes are a pretty important thing, this is a pretty important election and I struggle with the idea you want to vote for someone whose own party dislikes him and whose own minions are presently plotting to dethrone him.

You were aware of Labour's avoidance of his image in leaflets and his successors touring marginal constituencies to chalk up support from the candidates to unseat him, right?

In terms of the election I think it'll hurt the Lib Dems most, New Labour only slightly less and the Tories least of all. It remains to be seen what sort of European 'unity' will emerge from this growing crisis but I suspect there are going to be a lot of arguments and dithering before anything's done. Merkel has already delayed the decision on the Greek bail-out until after some important elections at home and I predict more delays and hiccups will follow if the crisis spreads.

Newsflash:

Gordon Brown's on his way to Rochdale to apologise to that nasty 'bigot' in person.... I wonder why he'd do that

If I Write on my ballot paper it goes down as a spoilt paper, therefore defeating the object.
What I want to see, and others, is the ballot paper with a legitimate box for " None of the above "

Yes I realise that's what you'd like but there isn't a box for that so the only way you can currently show you could be bothered to vote but didn't like the available options is to spoil your paper.

Whatever it was the woman said, is this the man we want as a leader?
He should have risen above it, instead he was found out.
" Who was it who put me there? "
Does this sound like someone who should be leading the country?
Sorry Gawd, but leading this country out of the current mess is more important than moaning about awkward questions.

And I know what you are saying, but that method has no effect.

How ironic it is that Brown became PM unelected but, if by some major miracle New Labour win the election, he'll probably be removed having been finally elected... lol

Makes you wonder what sort of things he says(and does) that we don't get to hear about.

Precisely, which justifies why I and many others just get on with our normal lives on election day.
