Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Comedians.
It'll encourage more creativity from those who oppose the government.
Compared to the alternative comedic revolution of the late seventies/early eighties, there's been very little new talent since 1997.
At least some people will be laughing when Lord Snooty and the other Beano characters take office.

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Following today's count, Smith won with a total 13,591 votes. Labour's Chris Ostrowski, who missed the final days of campaigning due to swine flu, received 6,243 votes and the Liberal Democrat candidate April Pond came third with 4,803 votes.
The UK Independence party pipped the Greens to fourth place by 4,068 votes to 3,350.
The 16.49% swing from Labour to the Conservatives at Norwich North was just short of the 17.61% at last year's Crewe and Nantwich byelection.
Turnout was 45.88% – down almost a third on the 2005 general election figure of 61.09%.

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
What a frightening thought and after the results lastnight a sleepless night, what could they offer as a carrot to smooth their path, there's no council housing left and surely people havent forgot the greed culture which Mrs T started and which we are suffering the effects of now.

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Exactly - who started all this who privatised the railways, who cut NHS and promoted private healthcare (for only those who could afford it) who allowed the good friendly building societies to become big mean banks, who sold off British Gas (tell Sid) who wasted 19 years of oil revenues from north sea
Do I want the Poll Tax back ( with another name )
No thanks, - would rather have my eyes gouged - even the BNP are a better alternative than Tory... at least they're honest about their facist policies

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
you would actually think that those with the most to loose woudl get off tehir arses and vote wouldnt you so if teh tories do get in then its no ones fault but their own
theres enough poor and vulnerable people in this country to make sure they stay out of power but it all depends if they can be bothered to vote
they think the have it hard now just wait until cameron get in pmsl

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Those who will lose most? Who is losing NOW under 12 years of Labour government.
Who has taxed the poorest? Who's jobs are on the line right now? Who's NHS and other services are living on borrowed money? Every single child is born into this nation with at least £20,000 of debt!
The wealth gap has increased to amounts never recorded under Labour. They pretend to be for the working man, but they have no idea how to run a country.. who gets punished?

Not true Jaysay, I still have hope, I hope the Tory's never get in again.

Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Are you guys voting Labour honestly giving a thumbs up to massive public debt? 800bn in debt.
We're going to have over 3 million people unemployed. It's alright to go back to 30 years ago... what about now when profitable companies are collapsing simply because government failed to regulate the banks?
All this when Labour inherited a rock solid economy, unlike the Thatcher government which inherited the sick man of Europe and had to fix it. This government inherited a world class athlete of an economy and managed to destroy it.
Labour governments destroy economies. Unemployment is always higher when they leave office than when they went in. Is this really what you want?
