General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Before we get intervention from the resident Nanny....I think yes.
How the hell can the UK go forward with this bunch of Cretins? :confused:

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Well most MP's will be pooping their pants at the thought of a general election because of what that would mean for them. They will have to face the very people that they have been robbing blind and I dont meen tax either. I would hazzard a guess that at least 40% could end up being binned by the electorate. The General Election when it comes will with luck force change in the house and there will be a new era. Well I hope so anyway.

Most of them will be deselected by their party before they even get to contest their seat.

Candidates are selected by local members of the party they represent.

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Sorry Gayle, that does not answer the question.
Forget party politics.....do you think the time is right for a General Election?

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

no because teh tories would probably win and screw teh poor even more as per usuall

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Considering that the speaker is now being push towards a untenible position then yes. It is looking that the sooner the better though it is down to Gogs as to whether it happens or not.

Don'T expect anything before June next year Spugs, our Gordon wants to carry on saving the Universe as long as he can, Gordon's brand new world:rolleyes:

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Brown won't call an election beacuse the chances of Labour getting a majority are Zero! the best possible result would be a hung Parliment, but even that is clutching at straws...as far as I'm concerned he can leave it until the last possible moment. God help low earners and pensioners when the Tories do get in! :eek:

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

god help anyone up north , cameron has made it quite clear he has a dislike for the north yet people up here will still vote for the clown

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

He means north of Gretna..............It seams that you and Mancie voted for the clown we've got now. :eek:

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

apart from the BNP I'll vote for any party that has a chance of keeping the Tories out...I don't know about you Royboy but I had to live here with that lot in power..or did I just have a bad dream that lasted 18yrs?

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

no matter how bad things get under labour it will NEVER be anywhere near as bad as if the tories get in

unless of course your pretty well off then you will be looked after which is how the tories operate and always will do


labour should have gotten rid of brown ages ago infact they shoudl have got rid of blair long before he left and let somone who is actually labour run labour

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

There all dead apart from Ken Livingston and The beast of Balsover.
Tony Benn is still with us but a bit past it.
New Labour was the ticket and it went tits up in the first year.
Bring back John Prescott if you like but.............come on.
For the younger generation please explain who would be your Labour saviour?

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Is that even though he cant save himself. Time he realised that the country comes first. A quick general election which I would llike to see would mean defeat and he dosnt want that. Need a good docter to sort this out.

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

since when has the country come first for politicians Spuggie? :D

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Mancie..........you are human after all. ;):D

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Umm? well I wouldn't go that far ...MargaretR and some other may have a theory!

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Ok I am wishing for the impossible but inthe end but miracles happen. They seem to forget we employ them and we can sack them as well. Pity they dont have to follow the disiplinary rules we do at work.

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Depends on if they can find a theory fits you. :)

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Thats the point I am trying to make Spuggie.
We are all governed by rules and if these rules are abused...heads must roll.
I am not a lover of the chosen few and think they should be accountable as you and I are.
I am of the opinion that the Junta is coming to an end?

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Why swap your deckchair when you're on the Titanic?

The opposition are firmly settled in their role. Now the Tories have a shiny new GMTV-friendly leader, and are free from any real responsibility, the saddle on the political high horse is the most comfortable it's ever been.

This country craves effective leadership and stability through these tough times, and there's no electable party to offer that.

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

i'll go along with that Shaker..it's almost like just handing over a crap company to a new buyer..and it's still a crap company!

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

I remember the early 7o's ..my mate at school was working for nowt at some farm down west end on Blackburn road and I went down.... we worked all day shovin **** ..the Farmer come round and told us we now know how hard it is to be a farmer. gave us eff all..!

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

he shoudl have at least given you a govenment subsidie for doing naff all just liek they get !

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Well it certainly hasn't since 1997 that for sure:D

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Impossibilities done immediately Spugs, Miracles take just a little longer :D

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

no matter when the next election comes only about 60% of the people in this country will bother to vote... that why politicians take the p***

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

That's not the only problem. Thanks to that dipstick Prescott easing of the restrictions on postal voting then many of the votes that will be cast will be illegal votes anyway, through a combination of multiple voting and identity theft. Some people call it democracy, Pakistan style, but I just call it an outrage.

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

An absolute shame really isn't it?

After all the majority of us including women didn't get the vote until 1928, Oh, how our forefathers, (is there a term for the women that fought for the vote that would be P.C.?), would weep about the hardships they suffered for this, 'I can't give a Monkeys society'?

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

We must stop behaving like monkeys - more like lemurs would be better - David Attenborough will soon tell you so :D
I wanna be a gorilla = peaceful souls really

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Aye, you're right there, Less. Women starved themselves for the vote and one of 'em even chucked herself under the Kings horse in the Derby...just think of the poor nag, and even worse, the unlucky punters and the money they may have lost. And now these women are saying they ain't going to vote!

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

The PV system was there for the use of people with ill health, working away, house removal, university students, special late vote (admittance to hospital. there was nothing wrong with that system, and i hasn't had the effect Prescott wanted i get more people to vote, now the system is open to abuse especially the proxy side of the pole:(

Re: General Election - Do you think the time is now?
 

Well put point.
