To be fair though, when the Greens won their seat it was at a General Election so most of the hacks were busy concentrating on who would form the next government.
I do find the Armed Forces thing interesting. They want a big armed foreces, but were steadfastly against intervention in Iraq and Syria. What is our huge Armed Forces for if not for intervening in foreign lands.
I'd drop it all. Get a BT Fibre package for £30 a month (including line rental) which gets you free BT sport. Then I'd buy passes for Now TV. You can either buy daily passes on Ebay for £4-5 or get a weekly pass for about £10. When BT get champions league next year how often are you...
But I don't see what the difference would be to now. I thought assads forces were a pretty well equipped conventional army. So what are we going to bring?
Sounds like Tory for you. Would lower the benefit cap meaning less benefits and also freeze benefits. Raising the personal allowance will take more people out of tax credit range. Raising the 40p threshold is a tax cut but it's only putting it back to what it was under Gordon Brown.
Gets my vote. I actually hope that we get a con lib collation again next time. Being fiscally conservative but socially pretty liberal I've seen the lib dems as moderating some of the more looney Tory mps. Not sure it will happen again though. More likely to see a conservative minority...
While I'd agree that UKIP are more of a threat to Tories, Labour would be very foolish to disregard their threat completely. Immigration and (maybe to a lesser extent) the EU are concerns for many Labour supporters as well as Tory ones.
I'm more talking about the traditional labour supporter...
Bit of a non-story really. Especially compared with what the previous prime minister said, when he thought he was out of earshot, about one of his own supporters.
No it's not. There are plenty of cabinet ministers that are excellent constituency mps and plenty of non ministers who are shit constituency mps, with many of then having extra jobs on the side.
