I give up. I was hoping that right now I would have a huge smile on my face, and my fears about the future would be put to rest, and the Conservatives under David Cameron would now in a position to take up government to sort the mess out. But although they will have more MPs and the highest percentage of the vote, they are still not in government. Labour are desperately clinging on. Gordon Brown’s regime reminds me of many others around the world – Robert Mugabe is a good example (granted less murderous), but in psychology at least, … Continued

Originally when I about 10 years old, it was just because I preferred the colour blue. Now it is because I want the economy to be repaired. I want a bright, prosperous future for the country I live in, and love. I fully believe that Labour ruined the country in the 1970’s (3 days a week of electricity, rubbish piled in streets, the country was bankrupt and known as the “sick-man of Europe”). The Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher rescued the country in the 1980’s and made the country prosperous and proud once more. Sure, there were some bad ideas like … Continued
Apologies for the lack of posts over the last few days. I haven’t been feeling quite myself, but I think I am back on form now. On my sickness evaluation form at work, I put down that I had a stomach bug. But upon evaluation, realistically I think it might more accurately be something like election fatigue. I’ve watched so much politics recently that I’ve actually started to like television again! I have been waiting for many a year for a government, and a leader, to come along who could inspire, and get the country to work. I believe that … Continued
Ok here is one for you. The election looks likely to return more Conservative MPs than Labour or Liberal Democrats (not definite of course but lets assume for now). If the Liberal Democrats are not willing to support a minority Conservative government and would rather support a Labour government, what is stopping the Conservatives governing with Labour? After all, Nick Clegg stated in the first debate that they are sounding more and more like each other. Both sides of course would have conditions. Conservatives would without doubt want rid of Gordon Brown (and much of Labour probably do too!). Labour … Continued
Well, I enjoyed that debate last night, especially the first 45 minutes which was on International Affairs as it was billed. Why it went back to questions which were very similar to the week before, I do not know. That disappointed me. What tickled me most is that last week Gordon Brown was doing everything he could to cosy up to Nick Clegg, but this week he was attacking him at every opportunity. If the country cannot see through how duplicitous and abhorrent Gordon Brown is, then we deserve everything he has brung and will bring. I actually have quite … Continued
So Nick Clegg has said that Gordon Brown is “a desperate politician”. Tell me something I didn’t previously know. But it means that I finally can say “I agree with Nick”! The main thing that worries me about the sudden popularity of Nick Clegg is that it means a hung parliament is a much more likely outcome than an outright Conservative victory. However, Nick Clegg previously said he would work with whoever has the greatest electoral mandate – and Labour have the 3rd highest at the moment. As much as I want a clear Conservative victory, I am not totally … Continued
Well surely you have all been waiting for my comments about the leaders debate? Unfortunately it isn’t too controversial or weird, but I still feel it is my duty to tell you what I am thinking after the debate – in the same kind of way that Gordon Brown feels it is his duty to lead the country. Ie I want to produce a review for the blog, although other people would be far better than me at it, but as I have chosen myself to do it, it has become my duty to do it, so I must carry … Continued
