I like your reasoning, sonny. Oh wait, how can I when it doesn't exist? Silly me!

Was thinking much the same.

Beyond suggesting Gordon Brown has the intellect of a five-year-old as justification for the sale of gold reserves, and forgive me for discounting that as 'reasoning', I don't see a lot of the aforementioned in shanyi's post either.

Fruitless overspending? Those pesky primary schools.

Morons overspending? That's why we need regulation.

I don't think he's ever criticised the Tories 'strong economic record'. That would be a logical fallacy (see: more bad reasoning). Instead he has criticised their weak economic record. Both sides have made both good and bad fists of it. Given the length and strength of economic progress under Labour it's hard to argue that Brown has nothing to do with this at all.

And finally, ever heard of Godwin's Law? We're not even halfway down the first page. That doesn't sound like the voice of reason to me, so forgive us for being unreasonable back.

Did anyone mention the Nazis?

And this is a political thread too.

It's a concept Retro. It wouldn't really scale to have separate names for laws for each axis of the pseudo-theory.

Just to clarify: Are you using it for any rhetoric that makes outlandish comparisons in general, or the use of genocidal dictators in an argument (in this case Stalin)?

I dislike labour but I don't really get the Brown hate. He's a skilled politician demonstrated by his competent stewardship of the economy in recent years.

People just get taken in by the image-concious tabloid politicians which is a sad indictment of society imo

His strong handling of the economy, by that you mean: </BLOCKQUOTE>

I said competent stewardship. With spin like that I have to ask; are you a politician?

Actually it's quite easy to do so. The main argument being that it was actually the Bank of England who has been responsible.

But then, I suppose one could argue that this was only because GB gave the B of E independence, but personally I don't think that argument is persuasive.
