Tony Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There is a groundswell of opinion. Vince Cable for Chancellor. Is he the man for the job no matter who is PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think he'd make a good Chancellor, in the event of a coalition being formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPat Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 He's been a member of the Labour, Liberal and Liberal Democrat Parties at one time or another, he has shown interest in a possible coalition with the Tories. Cable, an economics PhD, was once Chief Economist for Shell. An intelligent and able economist he is of course aware that LibLabCon are but different factions of what is effectively a one party neoliberal laissez-faire globalist capitalist party therefore his links with Big Oil and all the factions of LibLabCon are not as inconsistent as might first be supposed.

And so what are you proposing? A centralised, command economy that shuts out the rest of the world? Or just invading Poland...................

Wildcat Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 No repudiation of the One Party argument then ? If you have an extreme view it is only natural those with sensible moderate views will appear to have more in common than is distinctively different. Such an observation however says more about the observer than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your signature is dishonestly chosen is it not, you are the most slavish follower of orthodoxy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
