The interesting thing is...

If this works sooo well then by the next election the people will probably want to vote to keep the current two in coalition, but it will no be on the ballot papers. It could be, maybe the two parties may merge to make one huge party under a slightly different name

The LD party would split into a right wing supporting the Cons and the rest to Lab before that happened.

Umm.. no they aren't, that's been abandoned in this term. :rolleyes:

Well they abandoned the inheritance tax, which was a fair change. Remember people have been taxed on their wages, taxed on the house purchase and then get taxed when they die, its taxing the same money over and over again, it is completely unfair.

Likewise tax credits, currently LAbour hands out child tax credits to pretty much ALL families, Lib Dem's AND Torys both very specifically stated they would only cut the tax credits on families making over 50k or so a year. Hardly average families and hardly the ones that need it. Those kinds of benefits should be for people who really struggly, making it available for those that don't need it is ridiculous and why Labour have run up such a massive debt and defecit.

I believe both Lib Dem and Tory planned to increase the child tax credit, but make it bigger for poorer people and pay for it by stopping well off families getting it at all.

Theres nothing bad about that, its HELPING poor people and screwing richer people, but Labour/Brown constantly throughout the election said both parties were planning to take money from the poor and give it to the rich. Its pathetic, I really wish they actually weren't allowed, by law, to lie about the other parties so blantantly.

Stupid paper complaing about tax credits against the two parties that planned to screw the rich and give to the poor in that case, while supporting Labour who were doing the opposite.
 
National Security Council to form today

William Hague says a National Security Council will be formed today to oversee different defence and security-related government departments.

He promises a "distinctive foreign policy" which values the "special relationship" with the US

Oh William! How about you adopt a policy whereby the UK stands on it's own two feet on the World stage, so we aren't just a yappy little lap dog to Obama?

Which would benefit Lab/Con in the long run as well, despite being a firm Tory suppoter, i can't help feeling there is some real planning behind the scenes by the old gaurd to tear the LD's apart from the inside so they will never hold this kind of power again come next election. Maybe by bribing the right-wing LD's to join the Tories and pushing the remaining left-wing ones to Labour

err what? :confused:

I assume that was supposed to be something about me not supporting Tories or something, which is funny since I'm a Tory and was just making a joke

I'd love to know what goes through the Labour supporters/politicians minds when they talk about "fearing for front line services and civil servants".

Do they honestly believe spending billions more than we have every year when we have a massive debt is a good idea?

How would they cut the deficit and pay back the debt whilst maintaining the same level of civil servants? It just doesn't seem possible.

I'm astonished that you think this is actually going to happen regardless of what they've said. Lets see what they actually do?

Without a doubt but as I recall, some police CP training can involve input from SF personnel.

On the subject, I recall Tony Blair visiting the north east a few years ago and I was tasked to cover the visit in a uniformed role.

I got talking to one of his CP guys who couldn't have been older than his late 20s and I asked if I could talk shop about overtime. Sure he said.

He told me that he was single, had no ties and was available 24/7 on his days off etc and in the last financial year he made in excess of 100,000.

With that, he had almost no social life albeit by choice but the coin was flowing in.
