Well, NuLab seem to have taken a rather significant drubbing!
And Red Ken's out of a job - once again - however, will Boris the Buffoon make a better job of it, or not?
OK a typical voter Knee Jerk well before a General Election, doesn't necessarily presage a sweeping victory for Call Me Dave in two years: however, I do believe the country told Godron precisely what they now think of him and his clumsy endeavours as PM.
Bury, Lancs was the most telling.
Still, with Godron's apparent preoccupation with overseas matters, perhaps it's high time he swanned off to the UN or Oxfam!
On their tombstone should be their oft quoted saying" Lessons will be learnt". As they make so many obvious blunders lacking any common sense, they don't learn very quickly. I wonder who the Forum members think would make good politicians.if that is possible.

This was, for me, summed up yesterday with the classic comment from Harriet Harman when she said " We must start listening to the people" pas de m*rde sherlock, the've had eleven years to listen.
The 10p tax rate and the, as yet not realised by many, road tax hike, were two major factors, coupled with fuel prices and mortgage problems.
I've never understood this praise of Brown as being a great chancellor. His success was done by virtually bankrupting the country and you don't have to be very clever to do that.
For me, and before the fun starts, I don't have an allegience to any particular party, experience of life has shown that all parties start well and then go of as time progresses. They start to believe their own 'press' and in the end power always corrupts.
A never-ending cycle...........................perhaps it's time for a coillition.

The UK government could help itself by letting go of the coat tails of the odious Bush administration and burying the fiction of a "special relationship" once and for all.
And becoming a Republic with a properly elected Upper Chamber, rather than having 'People's Lords', seems like a contradiction in terms to me.
And if Labour honoured their committment to proportional voting as they promised they would, the Uk could - not would, but could - be a better place politically.
And that's without any discussion of the role of the National Assemblies in Scotland and Wales and why those two countries need MPs in Westminister and in their local assemblies whilst England just has the one lot - come to think of it, who would want two MPs, especially if they're NuLab or NuCon.
I hope your not suggesting a Revolution Tony.F.D.? With ref to Lords,Royalty and the Church, have any of these landowners donated any of their rolling acres for Low Cost or Social Housing,or even better Travellers Sites? I see Proper Charlie is showing several heads of state around his model village of Poundbury.,the land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall plus the Scilly isles ,swathes of Dorset etc etc. Has anyone seen this soulless place? I wonder if any other developer would have got planning for it?
I note no entries for M.P.'s yet.
Gastines, suggesting a social revolution and asking the politicians to actually do what they promised to do can't be wrong surely? And perhaps, some sort of revolution, people on the streets as they were with the poll tax demonstrations (tho not the violent riots) may actually do some good. Tho interestingly, when the 1980s anti-poll tax demos took place Labour supported them - when the anti-Iraq war demos took place, NuLab ignored them and said they were not relevant!!!
Hypocitical as ever.

Sorry to read at your problems with the two in England.
