tinfoilhat Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 he wasn't elected in the first place so how can he be re-elected? So why is he prime minister? Military coup? I think he might get in again. I think he's handled the Syria thing pretty well despite what some sections have the media have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 1. Thatcher trailed behind Callaghan when it came to preferred PM. By about 10% right until polling day. 2. Financial crisis was caused by reckless bankers throwing money about like it was going out of fashion. Not at all by Labour. 3. Tories would of matched Labour in public spending right up until 2008. Don't believe me? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6975536.stm. So don't believe the Tories when they talk about over spending. 2. Who was in power when the "bankers were throwing money about"? Who was spending more than they had coming in, even during a boom period, which they were well aware would lead to a bust? 3. The Tories would not have matched Labour in public spending. They might have said that when out of power, but if they had been elected in 2002 or 2007, it would havae been a different story. The Tories are not as irresponsible as Labour.

Ireland and Greece had a budget surplus before the crash and we can all see what happened there. Also Tories would have matched Labours spending because George Osbourne said they would. Trying to day anything otherwise is the realm of fantasy. And if by irresponsible you mean spending money on a crippled NHS after years of Torie rule and rebuilding schools. I'm sorry but I can't see as anything other than a daily fail clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 It is irresponsible for a government to spend more than they have coming in during a boom period. Full stop. It doesn't matter what they spend it on. I went to school during the previous Tory years and the schools were fine, now they have posh buildings and kids leave with a pocket full of GCSEs A-C yet they can't spell or write coherently, or even speak coherently in many cases.

alchemist Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So why is he prime minister? Military coup? Nope some power hungry nobody with an over-inflated opinion of himself allowed himself to be bought with a few baubles and beads ---------- Post added 01-09-2013 at 21:08 ---------- Something Gordon Brown tried and failed to do. probabley because the puppy cleggy boy is a closet tory, OK, not THAT much of a closet, hes quite open about it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler 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. I disagree. I think all 3 main parties ran on dishonest platforms last time out and lack of trust will be a major problem for all politicians at the next general election. Would it be churlish of me to suggest that politicians of all persuasions shoulduld be more honest and straightforward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ireland and Greece had a budget surplus before the crash and we can all see what happened there. That is a little like saying that HMV were a really good company beore they went bust; but they still went bust ---------- Post added 01-09-2013 at 21:54 ---------- So why is he prime minister? Military coup? They call it democracy, Brown was like the do-do, and Cameron was the leader of the party that got the most MPs. ---------- Post added 01-09-2013 at 21:58 ---------- Ed Miliband is still not the flavour of the month with alot of voters. Give him a chance, we dont know what distinct policie he has yet. Plenty of time yet, and I like him being to the left of Cameron and Osborne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
