I have to say that - being a Scot - :Kilt: I am most surprised :grosyeux: to discover I'm the first member to raise a thread on the above.

Not that their outcome makes that much difference to me ... :anerikke: ... but still ...!

UKIP certainly showed they were a "force to be reckoned with" (as predicted!) ... gaining a commendable 13% of the total vote - nearly half that of their leading contenders, Labour - while the Tories and their Lib Dem coalition partners (perhaps unsurpringly!) BOTH took quite a "hammering" at last Thursday's polls. :cwm24:

Now ... for those who are interested in seeing how Nigel Farage's MEP candidates fared ... it's simply a case of watching David Dimbleby's 'European Elections Special' - commencing at 11.15 on BBC1 tomorrow night.

Normally, I'm inclined to be critical of too many political posts ... but these are crucial times for the UK in general if we're hoping to witness a welcome shift away from :Britain:'s two MAINSTREAM parties and have a BIGGER say in our affairs both at home and on the European stage. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Dedworth hasn't posted about this because the Tories lost 230 councillors, the Libs lost 307 and Labour gained 338 :wink:

The Tories don't even have one councillor in Manchester or Liverpool

MANCHESTER: LAB hold
Party Seats Change+/-
Labour 95 +9
Independent 1 0
Liberal Democrat 0 -9

LIVERPOOL: LAB hold
Party Seats Change+/-
Labour 79 +7
Green Party 4 +2
Liberal 3 0
Liberal Democrat 3 -9
Independent 1 0

Not at all Joe, this was predicted because voting UKIP was certainly not a vote for Labour - but it had the effect of taking votes off the Conservatives enabling Labour to win by default.

Won't last, people will calm down over UKIP - it's given both parties a bloody nose and the next 12 months will be a good battle.

Very poor turn out too.

I'm sure next year will be a bigger turnout, but none of us can deny UKIP have redrawn the battlefield - gonna be interesting to say the least.

My hope is Milliband stays as leader :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well it ain't that good for Labour is it Joe - both the shadow cabinet & rank & file MP's are realising what an inept clown Mr Ed is, obviously I hope they keep him for "leader".

Local & General elections are different animals and the party in Govt normally gets shafted in local elections.

The British working class are realising that Millipede and his motley crew are pro Illegal Immigrants, Eastern European Cut Price Workers, Terrorists, Criminals and Benefit Spongers

The local elections saw UKIP gain more than 150 council seats in both Labour and Conservative heartlands – including some key marginal areas of Essex. The Liberal Democrats suffered humiliation in several areas. :icon_lol:


The Tories lost 230 councillors, the Libs lost 307 and Labour gained 338

As I've said before, at least with the Tories you know what you are getting, and despite the fat cats they do seem to be sorting out the economy. Labour are just a joke, much like the Lib Dems, pretending to be the peoples' party and understanding the needs of the working classes but are really just a bunch of old Etonians...

UKIP may force some parties to realise that the electorate aren't happy.

Not a chance! They might win, but they'll not get an overall majority. Lib Lab coalition at best.

Milliband is a liability now. People don't trust him. He's another Kinnock, people don't see him as Prime minister. Besides, how can you trust a man who stabbed his own brother in the back.

They're out of touch with their own base on EU and they're not prepared to listen.

people were not voting Labour over Conservative,
While it won more than 330 extra councillors in Thursday's poll, projections suggested Labour only secured a 2% lead over its Tory rivals.

Not a chance.

The overall statistical trend is for Labour to win by a majority. Ignore all the media polls which are flawed, and look at the official ones. Even with Labour taking a drop in recent months, they are still clear of the tories.

I'll be voting Plaid Cymru to get people like me out of Wales :Erm: :icon_lol:

I have no idea why people blame past governments. When the current government has been in power over a year, then they have had every chance to correct things. So the only government that can ever be blamed for the way things are, will be the current one, regardless of which party it is. Otherwise we can blame the French for or language, the Romans for some sill place names, and stoneage man for not setting up a democracy quick enough. :crazy:

A lead is a lead, you keep posting about how everyone is doing better, why are the Tories not 10% to 20% ahead of Labour then ???

Simple that one Joe - because it's taken so long to recover due to the enormity of Labours mess, people don't just change overnight - they want proof it is getting better and they are now experiencing this.

Also a lot of the public are simply not interested in politics and will change their views for short term gain. There was a survey in Scotland and it said something like if you were £500 better off would you vote for independence and most said yes, if the consequence of this in the long term made them worse off they would still take the £500-pay day load syndrome!


I have no idea why people blame past governments. When the current government has been in power over a year, then they have had every chance to correct things

Of course we blame past events as they cause long term problems, a lot on here still blame Thatcher. How on earth could this government have fixed the cavernous hole left by the last government in a year? Financial experts say it will take 15 years.

That will be the question that no one knows yet, with not legality to stick to the answer anyway. Politicians are just liars, spinners and manipulators. They will do anything to get power. The referendum is a red herring.

Cameron already knows that the majority want out, and yet he is not laying any ground work. Besides, getting out of Europe would take over a decade just to disengage legally. He wont be in over then, so the new guy will do what he wants.

I'm glad you mentioned building Joe. Did Labour embark on a massive council house building programme during 1997 - 2010 ? No I thought not but they provided untold jobs for illegals and Eastern Europeans putting up the Millenium Dome and Olympic stuff. Labour run local authorities eagerly pushed British families and workers aside in the rush to give social housing to Roma, Muslim Extremists and so called "asylum seekers". What little public works building was done was carried out under spurious PFI contracts in cahoots with their City Slicker chums. These ill conceived contracts allow parasitical companies like Crapita and Serco to earn millions in rent and lightbulb changing fees from the Hospitals they own for the next 30 years

I think some of it went on paying Unemployment Benefit to the 3million on the dole and tax cuts to the rich, but what happened to the rest ????

In todays terms, that's a massive £132bn! How many houses could they have built with that and how many jobs would it have created ?? :doh

Aww, :cwm24: Joe ... don't do that, :please:!

I can't profess to know the economics of where the money went.

What was spent on Falklands?

Might Google later.

I don't know Joe but bailing out and shoring up the banks 2008/9 cost £125 billion. No doubt Labour's CoOp bank (Ball's mate the deviant Rev Crystal Meth - remember him ?) will shortly need some help

You can't blame them for that. We only found out for sure when he died.

Thatcher was well aware of the rumours, but ignored them. All politicians ignore things that they don't want to hear, this is why they make so many cockups, and spend so much time bringing out laws which are a total waste of space.

It would not really have been Thatchers job would it?

Did Labour sort it out then when they first came to power? :Erm:

It's a fiery Forum tonight :cwm23:

:iagree:

Or Labour's deregulation of the banks whilst they lavished honours on villians like Fred Goodwin and their other city slicker chums

Well Dedworth, I learn something everyday, and I thought the banking crisis was because of sub prime loans in the USA, I never knew Blair caused the worldwide banking crisis :biggrin:
