Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Obviously a lot of people would choose 'other' but I'm going to go for a 'best of all evils' approach and list the leaders of the three main parties. Very similar to a recent poll released, but I won't announce those figures here so it won't skew the vote!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Can't vote, as my preferred option would be 'other'.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

...so you got one thing right.:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Where's Boris?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Oh dear, as he got lost?

They should really attach a label to him, like Paddington Bear.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

The idea is you pick somebody who has a chance of being in, so your 'preferred' one of a bad bunch as you appear to think of them as. :D

You don't do many yougov polls it seems? :p

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I prefer dealing with facts, and polls that actually prove something.;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

For one thing not having another option completely ignores the views of anyone who might vote Green for instance, or for another marginal party, so skews the findings.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

If you think we'll have a green PM in 2010 then you're a bit mad! It's a poll to see who people think is the best of the main candidates. Nick Cleggs only in on the basis he might be in a coalition.

Yougov accurately predicted the London Mayor elections too btw.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Just as you might be considered a bit mad if you think the three candidates you gave us will be there in 2010.;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

was just going to say that myself Gary

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Well two of them will be, better ask Cherie if Gord will be there:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Don't unerstand most of this ... but I enjoy the cut and thrust ... isn't democracy a blast:hidewall:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Me Too.................

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

possibly two of em won't be leader in 2010, pointless exercise.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Just had a look at the votes,,,theres only 2 ,so i would call that a very low turn out.......

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Not a very fair poll Cyfr, as one of the persons named is already a Prime Minister making one or two unpopular decisions at the moment. We have no experience of the other two ever being in office, so not all on a level playing field if you know what I mean.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Oh blimey theres 3 now...this is getting exciting...:pblink::pblink:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

How the heck can you vote when you have a low opinion of all of them? And don't give me that "best of all evils" stuff, Cyfr. I regard all three with total contempt, so I'm certainly not voting for any of them!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

It seems a choice between poor, clueless and slightly mad.

If I have to vote then it will be for the poor candidate. Can he be a good prime minister. Probably not.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

....but he's ignoring all those of us who have said 'other'.;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I'm not going to battle about the poll. I did it the same way offical pollsters did. It's not who you support its who out of the 3 do you think would make the best prime minister. It's not about who would make it in 2010, its about right now, who do you think.

If you're not happy with the poll then set up your own.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

WHAT PART OF NONE DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Who said anything about politics being fair kate:D

The polls are hotting up, theres now 4

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

funny....... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

We have it, that's why you can set up your own. ;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

...or we can pass comment on your poll.;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

can i start a poll asking if cyfr should stop starting polls?? they all end in arguments!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Very true emamum!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

So before it all kicks off I am gunna say.........

If the topic/conversation annoys you that much... STOP READING IT!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

well it seems to be annoying you ema yer shouting.:rolleyes:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Can I make it clear that I only voted Nick Clegg because I like clicking buttons.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

as good a reason as any :D :D :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I LOVE Cyfr's polls! Do you think this one will turn into a 209-replies blockbuster like the last one? ;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Can't believe it Graham has a sense of humour:eek::D:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

It will if Cyfr has anything to do with it Wynonie:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I don't think this one is quite as controversial :p

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Ya but with a bit of effort we can make it so:D:tongueout

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Theres still only 5 people voted :hehetable

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I haven't voted because

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I'd vote again but they won't let me GC:rolleyes:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

It seems the three choices given make most of us feel apathetic.;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

You should have had the 'other' option cyfr, it seems most, including me, would have used it, my 'other' would be cashy or rindy, if for no other reason than they usually disagree with you. :D:D:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Been to the pub, supped a few pints, watched the match, come back and there's STILL only seven people voted...still, you're getting the result you want, Cyfr, which I assume was the whole purpose of this little exercise. ;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Why do you keep giving us your homework to do?

Every now and then, you're sent home with some idea from your tutor and instead of getting on with it you expect us to do thinking for you!

It's your degree, at least pretend you are working towards it and leave the rest of us alone.

:tongueout

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I doubt it.

The majority of people have said they would have voted for an 'other' option.

Hardly a ringing Accy Web endorsment for 'Dave' Cameron, even when pitted against a deeply unpopular Prime Minister, and a faceless wonder.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I can't help wondering why he isn't doing something more exhilarating on his birthday :rolleyes:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

i think this is exhilerating for cyfr :D :p

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Perhaps 'new' Conservatism is a bit like old fashioned Puritanism...no fun.:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Never thought of that Margaret;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

On this note, I am currently working on the offer and acceptance of contracts...

I have a scenario for you with two possible routes.

1. Bob is waiting at the bus stop.
The bus arrives, bob gets on, pays the driver the fee and receives his ticket and sits down. Bus sets off.

2. Bob is waiting at the bus stop.
Bus drives passed him even though he indicated he wanted the bus to stop. Bob isn't happy.

In situation 1, who is making the offer, and who makes the acceptance? Is bob making the offer, as he is offering his money, which the bus driver could reject or accept, or is the bus driver making the offer by allowing bob to get onto the bus, and the bob would accept by doing so? Or is the bus company making the offer by having a bus shelter available in the first place?

In situation 2, is the building of a bus shelter an offer of services? If yes, would it be acceptance to stand in the bus shelter? If you can say yes to both of these then are you breaching contract by only standing in the bus shelter for shelter rather than intention to get onto the bus?

These questions have been raised in the courts, but I still ponder over them as the answers are still quite uncertain. What do YOU think?

:D

EDIT: Remember that the law doesn't necessarily recognise 'common sense', and in most contract law it is completely ignored :p

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

A bus driver has the right to refuse to let a person board his vehicle, and does not need to supply a reason.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

You haven't answered the question, the question is who is making the offer and who is making the acceptance. Did I not specify that this is a contract law question?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I think this is a trick question, and really we need to be looking at the spelling mistake! AM I RIGHT?? :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

OK - split hairs then ;)
The bus driver decides whether he wants to offer the ride

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

at what point does he make that offer?

You realise that there isn't a right answer to this, but if I go into an exam and give a common sense answer like that I wont pass :p so I'm just curious ;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Where is my spelling mistake?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

My very good friend darwendosser is a bus driver and knows
If he doesn't stop - he isn't offering

time to get back on thread?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Thought this thread was about Prime Minister:confused:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Is it not the bus driver drives PAST?? or is it DRIVES PASSED ??

If that is what it says on your exam paper!! I would be a smart arse and point that out too ;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

So if he stops he is offering... or is the passenger offering because he is offering his money which the bus driver than accepts?

There is no right answer regardless of what your bus driver friend may think is the correct answer, because if there was there would be no need for lawyers and judges to question it in court, we'd just get a computer to do it :p

This actual situation has never had a straight answer provided in court, which is why I thought it would be interesting to ask.

And nobody seems to care who is the next prime minister anyway, seems everyone is just complaining about the content of his poll :p nobody forced you to reply to my thread wander :p so I am presuming you are just as confused as many academics who have tried to decide upon the answer to the problem :p

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I didn't notice to be honest, I was just typing as I speak, and I say PAST for passed :p I hate being from the north :p

EDIT: I still think it is actually PAST and not PASSED... reasoning: you say half PAST 12, not half PASSED 12....

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

STILL only seven people voted. Maybe we should vote in his poll as a sort of birthday present to him?

Incidentally, Blazey, take it from me, it is past and not passed.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I would vote for David Cameron. :)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Mr A.N.Other's doing rather well, isn't he? Reckon he'd win by a landslide!

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

what this poll does show i think,is many think ALL 3 are *******.:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

thats a great example of a person who would vote fer a monkey if it wore the correct rosette.:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

That summed it up nicely mate :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I've got a problem with that Cashy...If I see a red rosette it makes my eyes water...and I could not vote for someone with 'Dropjaw' with as much charisma as a broken egg :D:D:D :hidewall:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Gorgeous George?...the guy who cosied up to Saddam Hussein?...how many pints have you had?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

:D Just attempting to provoke a little response, find out who people think is worthy of their vote if not the three in the pole....buggered if anyone immediately springs to my mind tho

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Me too, mate. Says a lot about modern politics, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I would vote for Lord Lucan rather that Brown...and maybe Boris...I dont want to say any more I may be labled as racist. :eek:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I hear what you’re saying, seems a sad state of affairs when there are no real alternatives to Curly Larry an Mo, as in Cyfr’s options

Maybe someone will post what they think would be a good leader :(

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Maybe before thinking about who would be a good leader, you guys should figure out where you want to go:hidewall:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I'm not trying to be flippant; where do you think England should go: further into Europe, into isolation, towards the US, down the tubes .... and then ask who is the best person for the job. Sounds like not too many of you like the options; so that means that any one of them could lead you down the tubes.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

yer too late wi that un eric mate, we went down the tubes way back.:rolleyes:

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

I'm very much for Europe :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Is that as a ruling body blaze or just for holidays:D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

thats not a pebble ya just threw in, its a boulder.:D:D:D;)

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Ah now you figured me out :rolleyes: France anyone? Maggie Thatcher had a great appreciation for France.

Yes I am pro-Europe, hear me roar...

loose - slack, not tight.
lose - the opposite of win, or misplacement of something

I find there is nothing worse than attempting to insult someone but spelling things really badly. You know who you are :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

aaargh !!!! that really annoys me blazey!!! lose not loose and bored not board!!!!!

sorry, thread wander :D

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

It is pretty amazing how somebody could get them wrong repeatedly. Things like that are drummed into your head persistently in schools.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

Now I know she's flipped... :hehetable

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

As a confirmed Eurosceptic, I would agree, Roy, but surely, as a modern Conservative, she's just following the party line.

Re: Who would make the best Prime Minister?
 

With her gob (self confessed) she would be as well following the Maginot Line.
