not as worrying that camerons lot will probably win the next election which will lead to even more suffering for most as they systamaticly shut down the NHS and cut benefits from the poor who can barely manage already

i guarentee you not one of their so called tough decisons they claim they will need to make to get britain back on its feet will effect the well off but will soley target the already poorer folk in society, its what they do infact anyone whoi is on any kind of benefit liek working tax credits, incapacity,disablity, income support or relys on medical treatment from teh NHS would be insane to vote tory because it would be teh equivalent of slitting their own throats

Accyman, the Conservative Party have promised to ring-fence NHS spending, a promise Labour have yet to match. Of course other departments are going to be cut, but we wouldn't have had to make them if Labour hadn't spent the 10 years before the recession spending wastefully and borrowing money. The NHS is close to the Cameron's heart, they have relied on the service, the doctors, the nurses. To suggest that they don't care about it is just plain wrong.

I'm not sure if you saw any clips of the conference. Cameron talked a lot about helping the poorest in society that Labour had forgot. Reducing tax on the poorest. He explained a situation where a single mother who worked, because of the tax system she was getting just 4pence for every extra pound earned. The passion around the conference hall for helping the poorest in society was something that I found quite remarkable.

i wouldnt trust one word out of a tory polotitions gob to be honest ,just like that crook tony blair he will say whatever it takes to get the votes but once elected prommises will soon go out the window.

even if by some miracle cameron wanted to keep his prommises i highly doubt he will have teh full support of his fellow mps and unless he does what tony blair did and sacks anyone who dosnt agree with him sticking to what he wants will be very difficult to do.

im no fan of labour at the moment either but torys have proven themselves to care about no one except themselves and just like before it will be proven again when they get into power

cameron has for teh past few years been pushed forward by the tories as the new young improved super tory with a heart , i just wonder how much control the old school tory thinkers have over their poster boy and how tightly they will reign him in once hes elected

guess we will have to wait and see but im keeping my expectations very low so as not to be dissapointed when it turns out to be teh same old crap

The best election result would be a Conservative minority government, or a Labour minority. The governing party would be able to put forward its ideas, its vision of what the UK should be in this screwed up world ... but there would be an opposition which could, if need be, bring them down with a vote of "no confidence". I sense that there is a fear of what you call a "hung parliament"; but, Canadians have had one for several years. Most voters seem content with it. I don't see that democracy demands a majority government. I think it works best with a potent opposition, strong enough to insinuate its ideas into government policies. Hey, but that's just my colonial opinion.

You would seem to like the idea of an Hung Parliament Eric. If the latest opinion polls are right, it would seem that's what we could well be heading far.

Percentages might have altered since the poll was taken.

i quite like the idea of a "Hung Parliment", hang the cabinet n shadow cabinet n start afresh.

latest poll shows Tories only 6% ahead

Do you know, I keep seeing this title whenever I log on and for some reason get the image of someone dedicated to a party beyond normal reason trying to find the glass half full rather than the warning it should be,

'Wake up labour, except for the stalwart labour voters, you just ain't working, be you traditional or spinning in your grave New Labour'.

O.K. the Tories are just in front in the poll's that shouldn't be cause for celebration, that should hint that you have lost the initiative, please don't put my children through a Tory Britain again, get your act together and actually do something useful.

(You've probably guessed, I'm like what cannot be flushed away, I'm a 'floating', voter), so get yourselves together and use this time between now and the next election to show you deserve my,

X

It's not so much the idea of a minority govt. that I like .... but I do like the idea of a strong opposition. With a strong opposition, govt. has to work harder to sell its policies. Also the opposition has to do something more than sit around complaining, waiting for govt. to screw up and let them back in again. With a minority govt. both sides have to work harder for their pay.

The only ones that fear a Tory win at the next election are the immigrants, the scroungers and those who are unable to draw themselves away from TV soaps, being too idle to get off their fat arses and get a job.
