Do you think he will go far in the tory party

[doublewit]

I think Halfwit wont get far in polotics cause of his sexuality etc.

However he has a good voice and could be a Diary room voice for BB. Maybe even Sree.

I'm still confused as to how he can be a member of the conservatives and yet say his political views are also extremely liberal......it doesn't get much more antithetical than that

[Marc]

He has the popularity!

[jay303]

i hope so

Tony Blair initially had popularity, its part of the problem...the american presidency has been turned almost in to a xfactor style contest where candidates spend heaps of money to advertise themselves.....i.e. bush was seen as more charasmatic than Al Gore......
It's gotta come down to the policies........what his ideas are and how he would go about implementing them

[BONNEIP]

Freddies a nice guy but come on get real would you realy vote for him as your MP?

I think the tory part is from his environment and upbringing his liberal views are his rebellion against that there has been torys who have gone liberal in the past and you can have views of both

[Claymores]

The guy's ideas of what politics are seem to be rooted in "ummm.......peace....yeah.......ummmm....... hmmmmm". He's a complete joke.

Give him 5 minutes in politics and your GDP would be getting mortgaged on face paints for all instead of health care.

It's a non-starter - he makes Boris look liuke a truly shrewd political player for the 21st Century - I'd give Rodrigo a better chance of making it.

Yeah i get the background and his own personal rebellion...fundamentally when you join a party you tend to be supporting/representing the parties views. When it comes to making policies you' have to side with one or the other.....do you cut public spending and move towards privatisation, or do you keep putting money in to public services, do you join Europe or not.....

I'd instead say his upbringing seems to have detatched him from the reality of wider society.

to be honest i think he likes the idea of being a liberal but once he inherits his money i suspect he will abandon them ideals

[Claymores]

Q: "Tell us Dipsh*t, how do you intend to tackle problems of social exclusion within the context of an increasingly polarised Britain that is in the depths of recession?"

A: "Facepaints are definitely the way forward"

Q: "Ok, Harf*rse, and what proposals do you have to address the demographic crisis which will see a steep increase in the numbers of elderly with complex care needs - all this in the context of the shrinking proportion in work, and an economy which has become heavily reliant upon the service sector internally plus is lacking strength in manufacturing and therefore in it's potential to increase export credits"

A: "More facepaints and be nice to each other"

Ah don't get me wrong, i'm not expecting you to have the answers to Freddie's political views, the fella himself has hardly made it clear and that's what i find quite interesting....
It's great to come from peaceful surroundings where you're surrounded by a lot of energy, people have discussions rather than arguements but that lifestyle strongly contrasts with being an MP for the conservatives....I'd be interested to hear him talk a little bit more about his political stance.....but i don't think there's anyone in the house for that conversation to take place with...

And with regards to the inevitability of a second recession as a result of borrowing, where we have to pay debts off and don't have the money to do so.......??
