There's nothing wrong with political correctness per se; it's the lack of common sense when it is applied which is wrong.

tbh, all politicans are the same. They all seem to corrupt their power one way or the other, if it's either accidental or right under our noses.

All I can do is no longer hate Brown, but feel sorry for him. He has done some stupid things, yes, but now it seems every single mistake he makes, people get on his case to make him look even more worse then he already is.

Cameron, well, I wouldn't mind if he won; but he wouldn't make much diffrence straight away. And by the time he would have done something, people would have lost intrest.

Clegg, meh.

Cameron is just a stck up bastard, most of the expenses scandals were conservative in origin.


That quote has just made me smile in agreement good sir, thankyou :)

Sorry for the spelling mistakes, but yes, I don't want another thatcher in office, else i would be forced to become like the french, and cleanse the streets of London in petroleum and flame.


Once again, I have to agree. But deep down, I would like more churchill back in this country, if you know what I mean.

not really, he was a drunk and a poor general, he only had one good idea (Normandy landings)


This is were I have to disagree. Yes, he was drunk and abit poor, but with his attitude; he showed Britian that we are better then most others if we work hard at it.

I won't be voting - I chose to leave so I choose to leave the pleasant task of selecting the least worst politician to those that will suffer under them.

I would actually rather go Guy Fawkes, but since I don't have access to military grade explosive, I thought what the hay..

Again, you actually know much about the whole Guy Fawkes thing? I thought you were better than that, Kob.

He wasn't some anti-government hero, he wanted to put in place a Catholic theocracy.

Admittedly, was a case of Catholic bigot vs Protestant bigot, but the only thing which Guy Fawkes had going for him is that he was ballsy enough not to break under torture - at least, by the time he broke, the rest of the conspirators had already been found out.

For me, the only question is by how many seats will the Torys lead.


Don't be so sure. Whilst I noted in another thread that my view of Gordon Brown is a "gormless tw*t with zero charisma and even less testicles", as Labour he still represents the working classes, who make up the majority of Britain. And with the current recession, and then a quick look back at the last time the Tories were in power, I reckon a significant majority of Britain fancies keeping it's job, and feels it has a better chance with Labour than it does with the Tories.

And yes, you will waste your vote on the Lib Dems. Liberal as I am, the odds of them being a dominant party are somewhat slim.

I suspect Brown knows that his government is a spent force and has been for a while, which is why he's not really been putting much in to it. He wasn't as much of a grey blur under Blair, and the Labour government has been going down for a good long while.

Both my parents are members of the local Labour party and have been active members for as long as I can remember. Under Brown... its petered out. They (the government) are just foundering and have been since mid-way through the Iraq War, since it was found out that they had actually lied about the presence of WMDs.

Brown could have, and would have, won a General if he had called it as soon as he became PM and I doubt that Labour would have looked like quite such a spent force for this period, but they were virtually wasted when they didn't do it.

If I was taking bets at this point, my best estimate (A Level Politics student re-emerging here) would be either a very close Labour win, or a Labour-Lib Dem coalition.

If Labour want to win big, they need a shake up in the ranks. Brown and Darling have got to go, for starters.

And i'm not ashamed to say this; needs moar Blair ;)
