Phil-Sheff Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 They will agree to things like PR, promise the earth over it, then stall for a year or so, call a snap election which will be under current system, Torys get a majority and they no longer need lib dem support Lib dem supporters walk away from the party feeling that they have been sold down the river and we are back to square one!!

JFKvsNixon Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I can't see the Labour party helping the Lib-Dems out with RR. The labour parties record on promised referendums isn't sparkling is it? Why would they back a system that may cost them a lot of MPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil-Sheff Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Absolutely, but surely they won`t be that stupid, or will they ? I wouldnt be so sure!!! They seem really far apart as parties. Camerons first offer of a "committee of enquiry" in to PR will just be laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" being the electorate, who would (presumably) have a say in the next general election. And after all that you've described, we might not want to give the Tory's a majority. Or does that fact not feature in this hyper-thyroidic fantasy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if the economy is on the way up and torys doing well then it says it all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
