Hiya. I know there is a lot of anti New Labour sentiment on here, and with good reason. But I don't really see that much in Dave's Torys. I tried to think of the most likely outcomes above. We might get a NL victory, I doubt it. I see the Torys romping home, but I don't want this. I don't want another Presidential PM. Because the last one feared nothing. I ould hope for a slim victory. I think best I would like to see power sharing. I do not want GB to remain though. I would also like to see more independents get up there. I would like to see a real shake up in the political classes. Sadly I do not think this will happen...but I can always dreambiggrin

BTW, if there is a likely option there that you would like to see, please say and I will add it.smile

Most of the independents are simply celebs jumping on the anti-sleaze bandwagon. Sure some MPs have pushed the expense system but it's a drop in the ocean compared to the state of the public finances.

I say NOC as hopefully that could lead to a change in voting rules and a more representative government.

I'd like a Conservative win, labour decimated and more independents, hopefuly we'll see voting reform to allow control to be given back to the general population (with any luck in a similar way to the Swiss)

Maybe the costs of the Public sector should be looked into properly, rather than just constant increase in employment figures. Without having the budget to spend.

I think some of the independents are genuinely interested in changing the country for the better and not just for the 15 minutes of fame and a nice regular salary.

In my government professional politicians would be banned, have a time limit. Also ban party politics full stop.

I'd be happy with a UKIP win.

It would be nice to see Gordon de-selected by his constituency, if only to see if the useless fker can get a clue when it is made that clear! Otherwise, a Labour rout seems necessary, and the LibDems seem to have caught the 'green', so a Tory win is about as good as we can hope for.

It is a sorry state of affairs when we are willing the best of a bad bunch in.

This guy in charge would be a very good start.

Cuts out nonsense and waste. Talks a lot of sense.

Agreed, and enough people supported him and his aims to get elected, but that was local whereas nationally the media are in the grip of the diversity wing of the victim industry army.

I voted for the only option that included the word 'wipeout' for New Labour - if it were to take the destruction of the UK by the SNP and Plaid Cymru, that would be a price worth paying I reckon though I don't think such an sequence of events would ever actually happen.

Even if only the first part of that option were to happen at least those murdering, thieving shower of dung wreckers would be destroyed...

In my nearly 50 years on this planet I have never seen any other state of affairs.

Doesn't make it acceptable though.

But how do you get the ruling majority out to change the system?

They will never do anything that will alter their income even if it is good for the country.
