The end of Winky is nigh. His shambles of a Government will surely not be ale to withstand a Euro shoeing and this? Thing is, would we have a snap September election - or another unelected PM?

The country is in disarray. I do take quite some pleasure about how history will view on this Government.

Which means the scum will wait as late as possible before calling a GE.

[thinfourth2]

Another unelected PM is the one that scares the crap out of me as he/she will be a tony blair clone all shiny teeth, suit, smart haircut and soundbites who will win over the masses of idiots who will come rallying back to labour when he sayes its all thatchers fault and i miss jade goody.

I want winky to stay exactly where he is as its the best place for him currently

This is always worth a laugh:

Mr Brown is expected to launch the latest stage of his fightback against sleaze allegations in television interviews on Sunday.

So he's got Andrew Marr crawling out of his orifice through the zipper and into daylight purely to ask a few tame questions for Meltdown's jaw to flap away in the breeze, and he thinks that's going to change anything? The Clown is beyond delusional.

Brown is *absolutely obsessed* about how history will judge him (as are most high-level politicians tbh) and I fear it will not read well for him:

Never won a mandate from the public.
Responsible-for/in charge of the Treasury during the build-up to the biggest financial crisis on 80 years.
Led Labour from historical highs of popularity and a decade in power to historical lows and (probably) a decade out in the cold.
Failed to act to prevent the biggest constitutional crisis/failure of public confidence for centuries, including the first ousting of the Speaker for 400 years.

Oh dear, oh dear Gordon - hopefully Mandy will pop 'round with a bottle of scotch and a revolver so you can put yourself (and us) out of your misery..

That poll is only a snapshot of the current moment in time.

As voters come to their senses, it won't take much of a percentage swing from Conservative to LibDem, for the LibDems to have a very real shot of winning the next election,particularly if there is tactical voting by dis-enchanted Labour voters.

[Mclovin]

to win the election all the scumbags need to say to mindless sheeple..

-this is a problem that started in thatchers era" will be said in each labour broadcast corp interview..we wanted banking regulation 10 years ago but thatcher wouldnt let us have it...
-a minute of silence for the hero that is jade goody and a day of remeberance for the fat waster...
-lets put up a statute for the fat waster...
-curtain call with winner of each crap factor talentless show...
-curtain call with the winner of big knobend...
-party political broadcast in between the crap factor programmes...
-think of the imf as our friends that give benefits like you receive...
-with hyperinflation your have more money in your pocket, you can buy more....
-everyday i wake up and wonder what i can do to make life easier for the hardworking people on benefits...
-several interviews with the labour television corp ending in lets take a minute to remeber ms goody for all the great work she did...

then after election prepare for id cards, roadpricing, more powers to the scumbags in the eu, hyperinflation and thousands of new inventive taxes like airtax and a tax on not watching tv and going outside...

BOR. Even for you that really is astonishing.

The Lib Dems? Win an election?

No matter how partisan one might be surely you must recognise what the opinion polls are saying.

Labour voters won't protest by voting Lib Dem. They'll protest by staying at home or spoiling their vote! Same as Conservative voters.

It's the floating voters that move their vote around depending on who made a pretty speech or whose leader is the most handsome or whatever.

Call me Dave is currently doing a great job of looking presidential and saying the right things. You or I may be unimpressed but the floating voters love these things - and they're the majority. The very section of society that voted for Blair are going to vote for Cameron is my guess.

Going to be interesting finding out. But the Lib Dems? Naaaahhhhh.

Really is...

No amount of alcohol could make that credible either in the writing or the reading of it.

Totally other-planetary stuff.

Voting intentions Euro elections: Conservatives 30%

Voting intentions General election: Conservatives 40%

Different polls, different results.

You show a fundamental misunderstanding of our system there. LibDem support has risen across most of the country, but its bedrock is in certain areas. Even if they had the same overall proportion of the vote as the Tories, they would have nowhere near the same number of seats.

What Zod said. This is why the Libdems are so keen on Proportional Representation.

Saw Winky blabbing on the Andrew Marr show this a.m. and he mentioned extending the voting age from 18 to 16. Call me cynical but it couldn't just happen to be the case that younger voters tend to be more idealistic, less interested in saving tax (they don't pay any/much) and more likely to vote Labour could it?

I think it could!

Oh and one other thing Winky; the word 'transparency' does not have, nor had it ever had, an 'i' in it, so WTF do you insists on saying trans-pair-ency you mouth-breathing incompetent? Oh yes, sorry the autism; how silly of me...

I for one think it is wrong to jeer at someone's genuinely held political aspirations, no matter how much they might appear to be the deluded ravings of a habitual user of industrial quantities of banned hallucinogens and psychotropic substances.

Personally, I think whilst the Lib-Dems might trounce the other parties and come within an ace of winning power, they will be beaten to the post by a huge invisible white rabbit called Harvey leading an erstwhile fringe minority party who's main policy is that all elephants should be painted pink, and all pigs should fly, whether they want to or not.

[mr_spock]

Can I point out my daughter has a white rabbit called Harvey. He has more chance of winning the next election that El Gordo.
