I stayed up all night watching the election and managed to polish off a litre of vodka between me and my brother Had a half bottle of bucky on the bus in (left over from west highland way) My head is feeling like its ****ing everywhere. Had 2 coffees so far this morning and don't feel any better. Might disappear soon. Mon eh tories
aye the tories done well in scotland eh a was in bed for haf 9 last nite two 21st parties this weekend. some young nanny on show hopefully
PR won't work in the UK. Look at the proportion of votes. Something like 38% con, 30% lab, 23% lib dem. You would never get a majority government. The reason tories do ****e in Scotland is because we are a naturally thick country. They shut the mines - They would have shut regardless We lost jobs when steel producers shut down - Ravenscraig HAD to shut down due to pollution it was causing. The amount of jobs created through the development of a new town on the site will vastly outnumber the amount of people employed previously there. Labours target vote are the lazy ****s that don't want to work and are happy to sponge off society. The short sightedness of some people is ridiculous. A tory government would cut benefits to those who refuse a job after 6 months of unemployment. If you force these ****s into jobs where they pay tax, everyones contributions would go down
naturally a thick country? nah maybe its cos we're not stuck up posh ****ers waitin to inherit daddies money so we can send our kids to eaton. the tories are scumbags
I didn't actually vote tory in the thought both my mum and dad might die in the next few years and I could save a bit of their inheritance money In what way are the tories scumbags?
and why wouldnt coalition gov work? most of europe has coalition gov. personally i'd go for a german or scandinavian model (some of the most stable economies in the world) over say an italian or israeli model which is more "true" PR. we've been doing fine in scotland with one as well, this idea that nothing will happen because politicians cant agree is bullshit just trying to avoid PR so that the traditional parties wont see an erosion in their power. we have a very antiquated election system where 30% of the people can choose the gov of 100% of the voters. the tories are saying they have the moral right to govern alone as they've won the most seats, thats bollocks. if a lib/lab gov is formed it would represent over half of the county (the same as if a tory/lib gov was formed).
I'm too drunk to consider your points LR I think that a coalition wouldn't work in Britain because the political parties all seem to have a jumped up sense of their importance. The day when MPs consider themselves more as celebrities than social representatives (which I truly believe is the case in Britain) is the day when a coalition won't work. Very few seem to actually care about the constituency they are representing, which I have found out on a few occasions in East Kilbride. The MP knows that they can do whatever they want and still be voted in the next election, and as such decides to do a vanishing act. Parties will place a representative in a constituency based on the majority they hold and how high profile the seat is, rather than a candidates ties to the local community. So in summary, maybe a PR system could be the way to go
I knida went off on a tangent there. I have 4 bosses chasing me for work. 2 are in Edinburgh and the ones here are sound. Think I might disappear and log out my phone. Get some sleep before the landlord visits I think I'm starting to get a bad hangover
The older you get, and start earning more money, the more you become inclined to vote Tory/becoem more right wing. I didn't this time but I aa willing to see how they get on this time around... would like a Tory/Lib Dem coalition, think that woudl work well for the country. People say coalitions are doomed to failure so PR wouldn't work! Look at Germany - this is how their system works and they were one of the first out of the global recision. It's time for political sharing ... I was struggling with my vote this time as all 3 parties actually have some very good policies. Then again, all 3 also have some really **** polices. **** teh typos ... typing too fast to go back and correct PS Anybody who owns shares or their councl house (or whose parents own their council house) - you have Maggie T to thank!
i'd be fine with a lib/tory coalition. if anyone needs the lib dems for a coalition the lib dems will demand a referendum on PR. if it goes through there would be a general election soon after
There are certainly a lot more details to take into consideration, but thanks for sharing this post.For cheap Zhu Zhu pets please see the Zhu Zhu pets hamsters site where you canbuy zhu zhu pets** hamsters at low prices.
