David Cameron.

The next prime minister.

 

I most sincerely hope not.

I cannot achieve an erection under a conservative administration....the eighties were a bad time for me.

Honestly, I may consider emigrating, if that bunch of uncaring facists ever get in again.

 

RE: I most sincerely hope not.

Barnsley only do well under the Tories. Since Blair got in it's been downhill.

 

Yes, that season in the prem was a right kick in the ballacks

 

RE: I most sincerely hope not.

DOES well !</p>

Weren't you listening the other week? </p>

 

And the appearance at Wembley (with record points total?) was nearly as bad..

 

Does promo to the prem count?

Every fecker with any cerebral capacity knew the scum were done for by then.

 

 Complete ****** he is.</p>

His tactics of divide the labour party by agreeing with Blair are so transparent it's ridiculous. When the hype dies down he'll just become another whipping boy. </p>

 

RE: And the appearance at Wembley (with record points total?) was nearly as bad..

We got relegated from the Prem and lost at Wembley.

 

No chance

Gordon Brown will be next PM.

 

I'd take relegation from the prem and losing at Wembley every year

au lait

 

I thought getting to Wembley and the season that preceeded..

...would be classed as success (relatively in any case)

Are you simply grasping for a reason for your continued membership at the con club Tory Boy?ff

RE: No chance

I'd be surprised. I think people were absolutely delighted when Labour came to power and couldn't wait to see the back of the shambles of the conservative party. However the tables are very much turning and what is in power now has become a shambles.

Another 4 years is a long time. Tony knows that and also knows his party have only the slimmest of chances for a 4th term. If he thought it was a reality, he'd stay. He's that stubborn.

politics is all bollock by the way. It's a choice of the lesser of 2 evils which is barely a choice. Currently the public are losing faith at a great rate. It'll take more then 4 years to organise a comeback and Gordon Brown will not have the respect he thought he would have had a year or 2 ago. He cannot live forever on just handing control of interest rates to the bank of england.

A policy he is now trying to pull back in a bit to restore more influence and make people happy....quickly.

 

RE: No chance

Well let's put it another way.

David Cameron will NOT be the next PM - he may win the next election but we'll have had another PM before then.
Personally I favour having fixed 5 year terms, rather than being able to call early elections, and leaders staying for the full term with a leadership election a few months before the General Election.

 

RE: No chance

damnit in which case you are entirely right.

I think we may see the same kind of crap that the tory leadership went through, ie full-on in fighting of egos etc which made them look even less capable of running a country and pushing through the least effective leader as a compromise. Gordon's step up may well be less clean cut then people appear to think.

I think there will be a complete disassociation with the existing cabinet by it's own party. A clean sweep or something. Gordon crying off into the sunset.

 

Are you joking

Eton and Oxford educated, never had a job outside of politics, virtually no experience of government and appoints William Hauge as Shadown Foreign Secretary!

He then uses his first pmq's to say how much he agrees with Labour education policy. The Tories have made a wonderful mistake of going for Blair Mk2 just as the public want more substance from their politicians.

 

RE: Are you joking

Actually, the bit about him agreeing and saying they will support the Labour education policy, I found refreshing.
Why should the opposition oppose every policy all the time, much better if they say "yes, we agree with that and so we will support it", from time to time if they do.

 

RE: Are you joking

Cameron worked for Carlton Television for 9 years.

 

RE: Are you joking

I'm not a gambling man, but I'd put the conservative chances of winning very much ahead of Labour staying in power for the next term. Regardless of who is in charge of either party.

It's rarely about depth and understanding of politics nowadays is it? I could be very wrong though and our current generations may change overnight and the young voters may suddenly become interested in politics, particularly if it's got much more depth to it.

I reckon people will just say "oooh it's time for a change and 'x' seems nice"

Not x from here by the way. He doesn't seem that nice.
