    Except supporters just support the club, the club is independent from the fans.. oh wait, politicians are independent from the voters too, it's exactly the same in fact, both voters and fans think they have a say but they dont <laugh>

    The first past the post system is totally fooked up in lots of ways eg look as disproportionate amount of influence it has given the SNP but the alternatives all have just as many problems.

    PS would the Tory haters all being arguing about this now if labour had romped home?

    The same lords who refused to save the tax payer a few quid because they were worried about the quality of champagne in the canteen the commons would share with them. Talk about a perfect example of the divide<laugh>

    Labour have to rebuild if they are going to win the next election. A leader that have charisma needs to be elected.
    Now, that they lost ground in Scotland, no need to depend on Scottish votes anymore. There is also going to be
    boundary adjustments which would favour conservative more than any party before next election .A leader that can unite left,
    right, and central of the party is needed.<diva>

    And there you have perfectly described what is wrong with politics and voting, Hitler had charisma <whistle>

    How about these cretins get the jobs based on their CVs.

    I think there are a number of reasons why Labour failed. One of the biggest ones was that Milliband just wasn't leadership material. No matter how hard he tried he just came across to me as being a bit weak. He and Ed Balls were also too closely linked to the economic problems associated to Brown's government, he should never have appointed Balls as the Shadow Chancellor.

    Obviously the link with the SNP was always going to harm his chances as I think the referendum generated a lot of bad feeling in England that he underestimated. Despite him ruling out a deal, his failure to control some of his party saying that talks were inevitable along with the SNP peddling the same line was always not going to play well with the electorate.

    Labours failure in Scotland meant that he would have to make up a significant shortfall in England, particularly the south. Rightly or wrongly many of their policies were seen as anti business and although the Tories have been far from perfect they delivered an effective message of economic prudence which many may have felt it was too risky to change.

    The NHS was one of Milliband's key areas and yet he allowed himself to lose ground there by not committing anywhere near as much funding as the Tories (whether the Tories follow through with that pledge we will have to see). I think overall his campaign strategy was poor.

    Anyway I do hope that Labour come back strongly as we will need a strong opposition to hold the government to account.

    It's not just the CV that's important, you also have to do well in the interview.

    CV, ie education and experience and demonstration of application of skills and knowledge are what it is about.

    An interview is all too often a popularity contest, for example, companies have hired many a disaster of an employee because he had charm or good chemistry with the interviewers
    Now a technical interview is another matter, but those are thin on the ground and non existend in politics.

    We' re not talking about your degree, and post graduate degrees here, it is about your charisma and ability to sound convincing even when you do not mean what you're saying.<whistle>

    Some companies made their minds up before the interview about the person(s) they are going to hire. Some candidates too, use what I call bully tactics to get the job: judges are too scared to ask questions that can flaw candidates.

    When I got a job with a london reinsurance company in 2005 I was told by my boss that there was two candidates, I actually knew the other candidate as we both worked together and applied for the same job. The technical manager, who ended up my boss, chose me, but the other two interviewers, 2 women who liked to talk more than work, chose the other guy, mainly because he nattered on like an old hag which really clicked with them, I was chosen for my technical experience. I got the job he didn't but had my boss npt had a say, the other guy would have got the job based on his ability to ramble like a middle aged gossiping woman
