UK General Election

For quite a while Gordon's behind the scenes behavior seems to have been called into question...the main point being, that he seems to have no regard for the people of Britain and their opinions.............He is an unelected leader of the UK ( He has not won a mandate ......he simply followed on when Tony Blair finished) He has been accused by close staff of being Bull headed and having a contempt for other people's opinions ..................In the early days of the Labour government of Tony Blair , Blair suggested that Gordon had to be handled carefully because he could be demeaning of others ............now by rather dubious method ( Sky are supporters of the Conservatives ) someone has finally produced what looks like proof that these people were right and that he is someone who very intolerant of other people's views.............the very people he is suppose to represent eg the dyed in the wool Labour voters.............. he looks down on their opinions and knows better..............and the words that proved that came from his own mouth behind someones backCool


I think that hits the nail on the head.

the prime Minister is supposed to represent the people, and do the best for the country, and labour in particular, seem to view it as one big ego trip and not actually take on board that it is the people that count, not themselves. The credit crunch was going to happen one way or another as we all know that with a stretch economy, at some point, something has to give.

Labour seem to want to up the minimum wage. ok, thats good. but, then Tax more highly anyone earning £20k as they are ritch? ok, well i earn just uinder that, and by the time i have paod my London rent, council tax, water, transport...like pmost people, i don't have alot left over, and i am not one to go and blow my wages on nights out etc. i can't afford to. so it sounds like a bad idea to me. Smile


i am now leaning more towards voting for the conservatives, the reason being the Lib Dems wanting the Euro. which i don't. i have spent the last 27 years of my Blonde life trying to get to grips with the pound Smile
