When will Blair go?

[Jamez]

Has a hung parliament ever happened in Britain before?

But we had a hung former president as recently as December 30.

[Stuart*]

Yes 1977 - created the Lib/Lab pact to keep the government in power

I remember after the last local elections, on May 5th, saying that Tony Blair had 355 days left as Prime Minister. I stick to this theory. If Tony Blair doesnt resign on May 4th, he will be forced out by the Monday.

Of course, he will be PM for another couple of weeks while David Miliband wins the Labour leadership contest.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any contest it seems as if Brown will be automatically handed the role of Prime Minister

Imagine though if they do do a leadership contest & Brown loses, imagine the look on his face

[Square Eyes]

Blair will go when Ben Shatliff says he can and not before.

I can't remember a time in politics when everyone either in power or close to getting into power was so utterly contemptible to the point where you wish they'd never been born for the sake of our country.

Blair - power-crazed lunatic who completely lost his grip on reality a long time ago and, by his own admission on the Parky show, hears voices in his head off God telling him he's always right (most mass murderers in history claim to have heard voices in their head)

Brown - miserable Scottish weirdo with disabled face, insincere, dishonest conman

Milliband - creepy little power-hungry arse licker with no principles whatsoever and a smug little smirk on his face that just makes you want to thrash him with a cricket bat

Cameron - a complete and utter joke who surely nobody can take seriously. It doesn't even seem as though he takes himself seriously.

It's a shame that:

A. John Smith died, and that:
B. David Davis wasn't elected Tory leader.

I really believe they would have made decent party leaders who'd have been more concerned with real issues than spin and personal glory.

I really wish the Lib Dems would reinstate Kennedy. So what if he had a drink problem! The OAP currently at the top is completely useless. Knowing Kennedy had a drink problem made him human. I've always found him to be sincere and normal which is why I've always voted Lib Dems. Opinion polls say people want Kennedy back. He was likeable and put up good arguement in the commons. However, I'm a bit lost on who to vote for in the next election, unless of course they bring him back.

I think there is truly a sense of apathy amongst the electorate at the moment. We might get an idea from the turn-out at the local elections next month, but they generally have a low-turnout anyway.

There will be the traditional vote against the incumbent party of government during mid-term, but other than that we might get to see whether Cameron is popular amongst traditional Conservative supporters, or if Brown can carry enough support with Labour voters.

As for Campbell - well I suppose they'll dust him down and wheel him out like the stuffed corpse of Lenin, but they really have shot themselves in the foot with him, they should've stuck with the drunk! :roll:

They should have voted Simon Hughes in, so what if he had experimented with Homosexuality he would have been a much stronger leader.

I was going to vote Lib Dems this time round had Kennedy been in as well

Well it wouldn't be the first time a party leader was brought back if Kennedy were asked to resume his role. IIRC Alex Salmond resigned as leader of the SNP then was brought back a while later.

Well we can follow suit quite nicely there, if the two stupidest political parties in the country follow suit.

And as to the comments about Kennedys drink problem, I am sure the whole party must have one to create such fucking ridiculus policies.

BAH! Some rancid little stoat faced piece of effluent has knocked the wing mirror from my car. I may just be persuaded to vote for someone promising a return to law and order.
On the other hand I may just be persuaded to turn the other mirror.
