Cameron & Clegg are in, Brown is out ! it's as simple as, no amount of backbiting between followers of whatever party is going to change facts ! Each party has its strengths & weaknesses, the reason Labour came in for such a slating is that it was on their watch (for the last 13 years) that the Countries fortunes have been so sorely abused & the fact that Brown assumed the mantle of leader undemocratically.

Now lets see what C&C can do, & should they be as ineffective I wil gladly vent my spleen on their performance too, as I've previously stated I'm not one for politics, they're all as bad as each other & I'd quite happily string half of them up for what they've done to the UK. My concern & care is about my Country & her people, irrespective of leaning, tendencies, creed or colour. This is the Land of my Birth they're debasing & it has got to stop.

Eh? What's the difference now between the Tories & Lib-Dems? Other than name, nowt.

You'll be able to tell them apart in the commons Tealeaf, the Tories will wear blue ties the Lib/dems orange with a blue stripe:D

I was living in London, so of course took an interest when your current M.P., in the nastiest by-election of the twentieth century, managed to swing the vote from a Labour majority, to the Liberals, with a massive 44.2% swing.

He's still your M.P. You must be very proud.

Tory free zone?

They polled 7,638, or 17%, last week in Bermondsey and Old Southwark.

Like I said you need to get out more, campaiging for Labour in your manor.

Don't you worry about us, we're sorted.

Re: The next five years
 

It's been a no Tory area well before Simon Hughes.. which is more than can be said of Hyndburn..the Tories had an MP in Accrington- Ossie in the 80's...to be honest I keep it stum in my part of the woods.. I'm ashamed!

Re: The next five years
 

Sorry, mate, but your red blinkers have blinded you there. Ken Hargeaves was an outstanding local MP who genuinely cared for his constituents and would go the extra mile to help them...and I speak from experience!

Re: The next five years
 

What does appear to be a particularly nasty act by this coalition government are the constitutional changes they are setting in motion already. Firstly, there is the idea of a fixed term parliament of 5 years. I've no problem with that, although it was to my knowledge not in the Tory or Lib Manifestos. But what happens if there is a vote of no confidence in the regime - if a bunch of Lib backbenchers revolt and combine with Labour and the Nats. Usually, just one majority vote would be enough to cause an election (as happened in 1979).

Not now, though - this lot are proposing that a vote of no-confidence has to be won with a 55% majority, which more or less makes it impossible to win under the current party arithmetic. This is unjust, undemocratic and immoral. I suspect we'll hear alot more about this over the next few weeks and months.

No...politics is a dirty business. That's why nice guys like you, Wynonnie and me keep well away.
