so this time next year Les, the Tories are going to win by a massive majority ?

No of course not - I just hope Labour don't get in Joe, at the moment lots to fight for and things are getting better so hopefully the public will realise and keep Labour out

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.

From what I can see, Labour have taken at least 50% of local councils up for grabs

Did he pull the EU out of recession ? it seems the EU are starting to recover

You go on about Brown blowing £4bn on selling gold, I'm on about Thatcher blowing £132bn of taxpayers' money - my money

[les_taxi]

Ask Graham and many many people how she enabled them to buy their own home

Anyway, Keith says you can't go into the past :-)

Where does it say the European Elections You would make a good politician Les

What time are the Euro results out Les? You'd better be online so I can take the out of you and Dedworth

I'm thinking Tories will be in 3rd place

[les_taxi]

Should have tried specsavers jake If you look at the thread, all the posts are referring to the European Elections not local.

I'm hardly gonna bet when I voted Tory for Harrogate, am I

I voted UKIP for Europe

what time are the Euro results out Les? You'd better be online so I can take the out of you and Dedworth

I voted UKIP and want Domination by them as I want out of Europe so irrelevant to me where Tories come.

[Arthur Little]

I voted UKIP for Europe ...

... as I want out of Europe

... likewise!

Not so sure I'd care for "domination" by Farage, though ... as he sounds a bit too overpowering for my liking.

The original post says nothing about it being Local or European Elections. It says "who are you going to vote for' If you read the first page of the thread Europe is not mentioned once

I think somewhere along the line we got our wires crossed. That bit is clear

[les_taxi]

Throughout the thread Europe is mentioned - there is even a video posted - anyway irrelevant now UKIP did brill

[Michael Parnham]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Conservatives stay where they are next election!

[les_taxi]

Hope so. Labour are not listening. It's political suicide to not recognise people want a vote on Europe.

[KeithD]

It's political suicide to not recognise people want a vote on Europe.

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.

[Dedworth]

Why do people still vote Labour? They abandoned the working classes (in 1997) whom they were supposed to represent but they still maintain significant support. They only stand for immigrants, criminals, chancers and benefit spongers.

Why is this? Could Joe and Andy please explain ?

[KeithD]

. They only stand for immigrants, criminals, chancers and benefit spongers.

These are the people supported by the current government as well, you only have to read the Daily Mail.

[les_taxi]

I have no idea why anyone would vote Labour, Dedworth

The economy would be my main reason not to vote Labour, I can't imagine anyone would want to take that risk again.

I have always said if I disagree with the Tories, where some people will defend their party no matter what gaffs they make.

I hate to call it the bedroom tax but the Tories got that wrong and I don't agree with it.

Talk about the recovery and managing our debt and anyone can see we have the correct government in charge for that

[KeithD]

The Tories have messed up the economy in the past, Labour have messed up the economy in the past. No politician is educated in running an economy, they are all stupid. It does not matter who is in power, they all do good things and bad things. Eventually the public get sick of them and vote them out. That is democracy. We get to vote for idiots.

[les_taxi]

Fair point Keith I just look at how it's improving and don't want the process cocked up.

[Dedworth]

These are the people supported by the current government as well, you only have to read the Daily Mail.

Yeah I forgot who was responsible for the 1997 Human Rights Act and who deported filth abu Hamza & abu Qatada. I'd better go and check the facts in the Daily Mail archives

[KeithD]

Now you don't see that very often. The words 'Daily Mail' and 'facts' in the same sentence.

[Dedworth]

Now you don't see that very often. The words 'Daily Mail' and 'facts' in the same sentence.

With me you do

[joebloggs]

i think dedworth and les must have been brainwashed into voting Tory, they've done for this country, pls tell me what you think they have done


and don't put they sold 1 million council houses off so people can own their own home, that's the biggest con ever, they didn't build one of those houses, its giving away what the tax payer paid for to be build. its so easy to give something away they didn't create , now if they build the houses that would be a different matter.

they gave massive tax cuts to the rich

sold off anything British , got £50bn for it (in today's terms that's £132bn ) , where did the money go

gave us the bed room tax, council tax

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

Joe's thinks Blackpools fab Dedworth
I can never take him seriously again
