Supertramp Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 If you me will he be the next PM? Not sure, I think he's the best of a bad bunch to be honest. Miliband hasn't got a clue and a lot of labour MPs have been critiscing him for coming up with zero alternative policies. Everytime he speaks out against a Conservative policy he is asked if he would reverse it when/if he gets in power, he says no. So.... I think he is pretty much an idiot. Lib dems haven't got a chance and are about as liberal as the BNP. So I hope he does or maybe he will be ousted and Boris Johnson's brother gets in.

I would say they are if you are going to criticise everything the government does but then say in the small print that you wouldn't actually reverse any policies implemented. Just shows that you are opposing for the sake of opposing rather than thinking its a bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I believe he will be re-elected as PM. Milliband is a no mark. People still don't trust Labour. And people trust the Tories? If they couldn't get a majority in 2010 after the disasters of the last Labour government then how can they expect to get a majority or even be the largest party in 2015? The Tories need about 40% and be 7% ahead of Labour to form a majority government. Labour only need about 35%. The Tories messed up when they reneged on their agreement with the Lib-Dems to reform the Lords and redraw the parliamentary boundaries in their own favour.

Happ Hazzard Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think trust is an issue with the Tories. Some people just want their free stuff to continue, and they know the Tories tend to put a stop to things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleadly Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Whether it's David or someone else, as long as it's Tories, I don't mind. Look what Tony (of WMD fame) did for us. Look at the financial mess Labour left. Look at the immigration problems. Who's responsible for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't mind who it is as long as Labour are kept out of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Cameron is the least worst option, but I'd rather see Farage as PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
