studentbob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 There are some who would argue that parliamentary democracy is just a sham for the capitalist elite so maybe the question should be why would anybody other than a free market fundamentalist want to be PM?

discodown Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah but they're generally not the Tories who preech greed and selfishness. Tories = The stiflement of inventiveness, wellbeing and natural progression through public and financial restrictions. (i.e I've benefitted directly from excellent free health and educational services in the past but now we're pulling up the draw bridge so you can't better yourself.)The very general rule of thumb for voting is roughly Tories = less tax on business, smaller government, more personal responsibility for actions and outcomes Labour = more tax on business (usually less on people but the last labour government bucked that trend), more government, more welfare so how can the tories be responsible for stifling inventiveness? they encourage business and trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 ... so how can the tories be responsible for stifling inventiveness? they encourage business and trade Yeah, Mecky made me laugh too when he said that! But as to the OP... History, a PM instantly goes down into the history books, immortalised forever. Just look at how Tony and Gordon took every photo op going!

discodown Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Anyone who wants to be PM shouldn't be allowed to be. Same goes for being an MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like Groucho Marx who said he wouldn't join any club that would have him as a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
