Good newsYes! William Hague is Foreign Secretary!
Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***
- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
Hypothetical question, will this coalition last for a full term or will they call another election in say a year or so time?
Surely if this doesnt work it will affect both Tory and Lib dem voters in another election and possibly either bring labour back into power or mean yet another coalition Goverment.

Yep, that was the last time Labour bankrupted the country. We had to go cap in hand to the IMF then like Greece have now.
Three cheers for the financial messes Labour leave for another party to clear up.
I just wish we had a Thatcher figure to raise this country up off it's knees again. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't popular at the time, but it worked and even Labour were living off that legacy once they came into power years after her political demise.
Please bear in mind that I come from the industrial North that was affected most by Thatchers policies but I still belive it was the bad tasting medicine that saved the whole country from the coma it was languishing in due to Labours usual financial incompetence.
Perhaps more people should remind themselves of this!

Seems that the most successful economies don't have flat tax systems.
I wouldn't say it's fair either. Someone earning a million a year can afford to lose 50% in tax and still live a life of relative luxury.
Someone earning 10k can't even afford to lose 10% and still aspire to own their own home, etc.
would have preferred (main jobs only):
Prime Minister: David Cameron
Deputy Prime Minister: Nick Clegg
Chancellor of the Exchequer: Vince Cable
Foreign Secretary: William Hague
Home Secretary: Chris Hume
Probably too generous considering the small number of Liberal MP's though.

I do agree with you but the cost must be done centrally not at local government level.

Wait until the PM dies?
I know exactly what poll tax was, it is still the fairest system
Any extra money can come from development agencies / government coffers
He hangs on every word of the PM
Plots the assassination of the PM in their head once a week.
That depends how you define 'fair'
On a local service level it is when everyone pays the same for the provision of those services.
On a national income tax level it is when everyone pays the same percentage.
