I wont need to be, i suspect you know labour are on their way out by the way you're desperately trying to talk up the prospect of a hung parliament or labour victory.

I'm being realistic. I think it will be a hung parliament. Victory for me is no Tory government.

I am not quite up to speed yet - I am only finishing the first chapter of your book on predictability.

Oh, its quite simple. Bushy is a very strange, very angry, paranoid individual, who thinks there is a secret mason-like society of posters, who exist only to round on his every brilliant, erudite and succinct posting.

You, clearly, are a member of that shady group.

you and others on here are indulging in wishful thinking, i almost want labour to win, because there are a lot of people about who dont realise just how much shit we are in or just how long it will take to get out of it, its a poisoned chalice thats for sure.

You've lost me, you permanently angry Daily Mail caricature. Some people, who are actual friends, in REAL LIFE, converse by e-mail, instead of on here?

f*** me! Call the FBI.
 


The polls suggest a hung parliament, however I expect once the polling date is announced the Tories will start to pull further ahead. There was a former paper editor (I think it may have been the Sun? Definitely one of the Murdoch papers) on 5 Live the other day who was talking about something else entirely (his alcoholism) but was asked his view on the election. He wouldn't be drawn on his view but said to bear in mind that, given that News Corp were openly backing the Tories, they stood to lose a hell of a lot if Labour got in and would go to extreme lengths to try to ensure that didn't happen.

Ok, heres's an objective look, here are some of gordon's achievements in the last 13 years
1) Spending so much in the last 13 years when the bubble burst there was fuckall left when the roof needed fixing, prudent my left bollock.
2)ended tax concessions , completely wrecking our once envied pension system.
3)Sold our gold reserves at the absolute f***ing low of the market
4)presided over a growth in public sector jobs(5 a day coordinators and the like)that cost money that is so badly , badly needed elsewhere.
Do people seriously think that this buffoon is fit to be prime minister?

Some of the labour achievements then.

1. An improved, albeit not perfect, NHS with considerably lower waiting times and considerably more nurses.
2. Minimum wage which the tories said would destroy the economy and who now have no plans to get rid of it.
3. Capital investment in Schools of which many, by 1997, were falling apart. Would have preferred not have PFI involved but then that was introduced by John Major.
4.Increased university places (for the parasites of society)!
5.The London Olympics (admittedly Ken but he's still labour).
6. 9 new offshore wind farms capable of generating upto 25% of our electricty needs.
7. Gift aid to Charities
8. Free entry into museums


Many more but I doubt you care.

I wonder if newspapers will have the same effect as they did in previous years, now that a lot less people buy them.

I think you've gaffed by throwing this one into your list. The Tories have a better claim than Labour in that their man Lord Sebastian Coe is generally regarded as having made the difference in London's bid.

I think so, as our resident Mr Angry is still as angry as he has been in previous years. The only difference is that he now gets all his thoughts and beliefs from a web-based source as opposed to hard copy.
