You can believe what you like but when you see members of his own party questioning his decisions and publicly announcing that he has embarrassed himself and his party, then you should listen to them.

As I said right at the beginning this will be seen as the moment GB got it wrong.
He could have called an election, disrupted the Tory conference, caught everybody on the hop and won an easy election.
Instead he dithered, made the wrong choice and this will haunt him.
Just look at the beating he got at PMQs and post Autumn Budget and how he now has unified Conservative and Lib Dem parties opposite and a fractured party sitting behind him.

It really, really won’t.

A week is a long time in politics and like I said earlier, byt the time the election is held this will be a distant memory as so much more important stuff will have happened between now and then.

lower taxes, a more minimalist state, John Major High Lord and Master :thup:

Dean

Meh, I really don't care. Such a non-issue tbh.

we would probably have implemented hague's 'burn all immigrants' idea as well.

There's always one isn't there

Hague should be given another go tbh.

given how many people voted labour in the last election knowing blair would be handing power over to brown sooner rather than later, i'd say there was a few more than one?

Such as what?

They've already made the key announcements in preparation for the supposed election.

Change in inheritance Laws.
Iraq withdrawal.
More money to NHS and schools.

Unless they're planning to give us back a few pennies in the pound, I can't really see what "big" announcements are left to make.

Clearly the best man for the job (Boris Johnson not included, of course). Currently though, Labour or Tories you'll be getting the same stuff pretty much. Especially with Dave in charge.
