Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Anyone with any sense knew that the Lib Dems would not get the majority of the votes & be able to form a government. We voted Lib Dem to reduce the Tory votes & Labour votes so that Nick Clegg would be strong enough to exert some influence on the government of this country. That is exactly what has happened, so we voted correctly and got the correct result. The voting system will almost certainly be changed before the next election making it fairer than it was before and Clegg now has a say in the policies which Cameron passes - If Clegg hadn't helped form this coalition, this wouldn't have happened and we would be back with Labour or Conservatives doing as they pleased.

KILLAMAROY Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 My Father and both Grandfathers were Miners in the Killamarsh, Eckington area. Why don't you just be realistic, .. we are not living in the early 20th Century, 1940's, or even the 1970's/80's! Hardly anybody is 'REALLY POOR' anymore, especially in comparison to my Mother's family living in Troway in the 1930's with my Grandfather unable to work, having lost a leg in an accident at Norwood Colliery and not even Social Security to help the family of five. They were still brought up with decent Family and Social Values, unlike some today! What some people are, .. is 'Poor' in spirit, values and ambition, what happened to the vast majority of the 'Respectable Working Class' that I knew when I was growing up in Killamarsh in the 1950's and 60's? 'Some' of the Labour Polititians are 'Gangsters' and Power Hungry, - Mendelson etc, .. at least Clegg and Cameron are decent, respectable and want people to strive to help themselves. Too many people still think the Conservatives are the Party of the 'Landed Gentry', what Rubbish. During the recent Election many people wanted Politicians to try and work together instead of fighting all the time, .. so why not now praise Clegg and Cameron for having the Courage to try and do it? Forget about Family, Class and Area Traditional reasons for voting in a certain way, people should in an educated and informed way, think for themselves!

He would have had a greater say in the policies Cameron passes if he'd been on the opposition benches, voting with the Tories on policies he agreed with and against them on policies he didn't.

As in the past do you mean? How effective was that? And would that change the electoral system? Conservatives got one seat for every 34,989 votes - Lib Dems should have got 195 seats (instead of 57 seats) on the same basis as the Conservatives figures Labour got one seat for every 33,350 votes - Lib Dems should have got 204 seats (instead of 57 seats) on the same basis as the Labour figures Lib Dems only got one seat for every 119,788 votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
