*_ash_* Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm not a big fan of politics, but I thought of something yesterday that made me wonder. Probably a simple answer, but I haven't thought of it. At the next general election, how will a campaign be possible for the 3 main parties? Labour can do their stuff. But Tory and LibDems Will they just be a 'double-party' type thing to vote for, or will they be campaigning separate of each other? That would seem kind of strange wouldn't it? The PM and Deputy PM campaigning against each other, whilst running the country together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 They could choose to campaign as a coalition, but I (highly!) doubt that they will. By far the more likely scenario, assuming the coalition lasts five years, is that they will dissolve the coalition as well as Parliament, campaign on their own, and then take stock after the election.

At a guess, the Tories will campign on their achievements and future policies. The Lib Dems will explain what they would have done if they'd had any influence on proceedings whatsoever.

andyofborg Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 churchill's wartime coalition dissolved itself several months before the election which allowed the parties to reestablish a separate identity. the conservatives remained in government in a caretaker role.

Greybeard Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 If the coaition lasts the five years I suspect a lot of people will have forgotten who the LibDems were, those that do remember will also remember voting LibDem gets you a Tory government, so if they bother to vote at all, they'll probably vote Labour in self defence.

aardvark6535 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I must admit I aint read all the post's to this, but the wording suggests your pro Labour so your question is null and void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 According to all the pro-Labour supporters on here it would stand to reason that the Tories will get in again...as all the Labour voters will have been turfed out of their houses & starved to death or died through lack of an NHS. Roll over then....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
