Wrong calculation I am afraid.....The majority of people are not prepared to give any party at any election the majority of the vote. Labour have won on 37% of the vote and that leaves 63% of people that did not want labour...

At any election be it a Tory win or Labour win or a fantasy Lib/Dem win no party has a majority of the country voting for them.....:nono:

Such is the corrupt nature of our supposed democracy.....:devil:

so blairs back, eh?

well what do you think of that? bananarama made a great point that the MAJORITY did not want blair, its just a shame that we dont have a strong opposition, otherwise we might have a new leader.

With such a fragmented vote, it seems a shame that the parties can't split the different jobs between them. Labour could run the public services such as schools and hospitals, the Tories could look after crime, immigration, defence and foreign affairs and the Lib Dems could have the environment and whatever else is left! Then the three parties could get together to decide on the ecomony stuff under the guidance of the Bank of England!

As the parties are becoming so much closer in policies and outlook, it would seem to make sense! :spin2:

That sounds like the ideal solution Kaphic.If only:laugh:

I don't agree that the parties are similar in policy though!!! For example. Tongue in cheek..

The Lib/Dem’s having a suitable party colour of "yellow" won't get involved with war. While Labour with a party colour of red get involved with the flow of blood in war. The Tories having the colour of “Blue” are as such typically obcene…..

The Lib/Dems would allow Europe to walk all over them while the Tories would like to walk all over Europe while labour sits on the fence and organises referendums on the agreed size of the many European eggs that are laid….

As for transport the Tories are going round in ever right hand circles. Labour is stuck in a jam and the Lib/Dem's as usual are just lost in the wilderness looking for some common sense and only finding confused voters that they can convince that a Lib/Dem vote is not a wasted vote...


The environment. The Tories are the original pollution while Labour sweeps up rowdy teens and turns them into even more rowdy teens and the Lib/Dems sweep everything under the carpet and hope that neither the Tories or Labour will find it…..

On the Economy the Tories like to help those that help themselves so bank robbers would do quite well under them...Labour will help those that volunteer for hard labour while the Lib/Dems are busy trying to help themselves on how to add two and two together without coming up with another speech about Iraq...:laugh:

Ok Zzzzzzz Mike!! You can wake up now and carry on not bothering.. After all that’s what nearly 60% of potential voters do and then complain about what ever Government they finish up with…Me I vote and still carry on complaining about what ever Government I wake up to. Such as life.. I think I will stop bothering too. :laugh:

Newcastle Central
