Is anyone else of the opinion I have at present as to the party election broadcasts,they are in my opinion dire at best.It almost leaves you wondering does any party really want to win this election.
AS for the Lib Dem one tonight, for goodness sake, moaning at the Conservatives cuts,well who has been part of this govt; voting for and supporting in parliament those cuts. The Lib Dems cannot condemn the Conservatives ofr these cuts, none, I repeat 'none' of them could have got through parliament without the votes of the Lib Dems. The Lib Dems for sure must think the voters are stupid and gullible if they think they can shift the blame just on the Conservatives for the cuts. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

If jobs are being created at record pace, where are they? Still round here theres 100+ applicants for every (real) position. No as much competition for the commission only jobs though which apparently people should be snapping up.

I'm posting this as I think it's important to show exactly how and why a candidate has your support, not just what you read in the media.
'Edward Miliband MP, Doncaster North voted in favour of introducing a penalty regime for the general anti-abuse rule and in favour of other measures intended to reduce tax avoidance. The majority of MPs voted against introducing a penalty regime for the general anti-abuse rule and against other measures intended to reduce tax avoidance. The motion rejected by the majority of MPs taking part in this vote stated: That this House notes with concern that following the revelations of malpractice at HSBC bank, which were first given to the Government in May 2010, just one out of 1,100 people who have avoided or evaded tax have been prosecuted; calls upon Lord Green and the Prime Minister to make a full statement about Lord Green’s role at HSBC and his appointment as a Minister; regrets the failure of the Government’s deal on tax disclosure with Switzerland, which has raised less than a third of the amount promised by Ministers; welcomes the proposals of charities and campaigning organisations for an anti-tax dodging Bill; and further calls on the Government to clamp down on tax avoidance by introducing a penalty regime for the general anti-abuse rule, which is currently too weak to be effective, closing the Quoted Eurobonds exemption loophole, ensuring that hedge funds trading shares pay the same amount of tax as other investors, introducing deeming criteria to restrict false self-employment in the construction industry, and scrapping the shares for rights scheme, which the Office for Budget Responsibility has warned could cost £1 billion in avoidance.' What is the 'shares for rights' scheme?..... oh dear....isn't this what happened before the royal mail sell off, they gave posties a few shares for their workers rights and then privatised it ensuring nobody had the right to a full redundancy package or pension? 'Businesses will be allowed to remove "gold-plated employment rights" in exchange for handing out shares to employees which will be exempt from tax, George Osborne has said.' http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...-rights-scheme http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/divisio...&house=commons

'The tax scandal uncovered at HSBC is one that even the most imaginative conspiracy theorist would struggle to concoct. The Swiss arm of Europe’s largest bank is accused of having colluded with wealthy clients for years to allow them to shield undeclared accounts from their domestic authorities. Detailed information was passed to HMRC in 2010; 1,100 British citizens are thought to have been involved.
Five years later, just one prosecution has resulted. Contrast that with the 1,046,398 sanctions, or financial penalties, imposed on Jobseeker’s Allowance claimants in 2013, or the nearly 200,000 prosecutions of people who failed to buy a television licence. As the tax campaigner Richard Murphy put it: “To the wealthiest criminals and their assistants within the financial system go the rewards and the plaudits. To everyone else goes intimidation and persecution.” http://www.newstatesman.com/politics...must-be-closed

The present PM cannot really resign until there is a govt; that can be recommended to the Queen. Until it was clear that Cameron had the support of the Lib Dems in 2010, there was no way he could be sent for to attempt to form a govt; That could easily be the same situation that Cameron could find himself in until it is clear if Labour can then form a govt; with overall majority support from one or more than one other party. That is what 'has' to happen in such occurrences. |

For me its simple its down to clear numbers. I got Very Angry with New Labour Brown he had no right to stay there that long we the People Never Ever Voted him in. New Labour were less that Conservatives big numbers, so he should have Gone the next day and the LibDem would jump when we demand. This time 5 years later there are UKIP MP's that can increase Greens that will not The Welsh Lady - Good Luck to her -better than Labour SNP - Great Lady - Kill the Labour MPs And your Labour is Neck and Neck I had predicted a new Conservative/LibDem Power long before 2010 on this Forum.

He could have even prepared a Queens speech to be put to parliament and call the bluff of all other parties since no one had an overall majority. Had that Queen's speech then been voted against,then it could have been the time to allow Cameron to try to forge a govt; where a Queen's speech could be then voted for. We don't elect PMs arista, the parties elect their leaders,even if Cameron or Clegg had lost their individual seats,in the end there still would have been a Conservative led coalition with a new leader or new Lib Dem leader, without going back to the voters at all. Only the constituencies the leaders stand for election in, elect them,just as they do every other MP. Last edited by joeysteele; 05-04-2015 at 02:32 PM. |
