It's not like it's a surprise now is it?
Labour couldn't get enough votes to even form a coalition. LibDems got a pitiful amount of seats so clearly the majority of the electorate were left unimpressed, and they're bloody lucky to have any say at all now.
Like it or not the Tories won the most seats, which shows that there's a hell of a lot of people who don't want the asylum run by the lunatics any more.
Tough if those who support the Labour Party don't like it - the rest of us have had to bide our time for 13 long years as we watched in frustration and despair as Labour ran our country into the ground. I shudder to think what would happen if Milliband, the Union's puppet, were to ever be voted in. You could kiss democracy goodbye as the country would be held to ransom by the bully boys. |
You make the right judgements on some of Labours failure Angus58, I however do not think at this time David Camerons comments are helpful and may well increase tensions and suspicions on both sides of the Immigration debate.
It is an issue I believe should not be a party political one,so I would prefer to see 'all' parties working on the issue together.
Your analysis of the Election is a fair one however I would have to say,this being the first election I was voting in, I looked back and researched past elections and from the so called chaos of the Labour govt and the failure of Gordon Brown as a leader, I remain stunned the Conservatives didn't walk this election,clearly the voters didn't like what they were offering and nearly two thirds of voters (just under 64%) voted against the Conservatives and voted for other parties who all in the main had similar policies.
For my sins I voted Lib Dem but will never do so again or trust them again.
It is also a fact David Cameron does concede this problem has been there for 30 years at least,also likely getting worse under Labour,but in those 30 years plus, there has been firstly 18 years of unbroken Conservative govt and then 13 years of unbroken Labour govt.
Well, to me putting it simply,if both the main parties cannot get most or all right in that time with 2 periods of longevity of govt with good overall majorities, then they are both serving the Country badly and really neither deserve to govern again unbridled.
As I said earlier in this thread, I think this Country is treated very badly by whoever gets into power and like Dezzy I have to say I am already massively disillusioned with politicians,its even possible that this coalition is shaping up to cause at least as much devastation as the last govt did.
The problem being that they listen to get the votes but then do what they like and stop listening once they have the votes and power.
Back on topic though, I believe its time that immigration was taken out of party politics altogether and that consensus on policy is worked on rather than dangerous whims of popular rather inappropriate language from any single party or leader.
