You're assuming the Torys would be any better? Please, come on... the 'steal from the poor and give to the rich to keep the rich rich party'?

At least Labour brought in gay rights and various other things that are needed for us to move forward as a species.

Remember the last time the conservatives were in? That was literally hell, no wonder we've had so long of 'new labour'. Remember this is a party that abolished free milk for children.

What you mean the times when there were police on the streets, petrol at 60p a litre, no 3 hr waiting times at A and E, school exams that meant something, affordable housing, no insurance tax, no airport duty.....
When the country had gold reserves, you had a private pension worth having and the army wasnt strung around the globe in 2 pointless wars?

Those times fella?

Thats not an about turn, thats a competant person wanting to know if he was lied and induced into voting for something he shouldn't of. Nowt wrong with believing what your PM tells you, finding out it was BS and wanting an inquiry to be honest. Good on him, unlike the other tit someone listed who was strongly for the war and strongly against an inquiry.

You make it sound like the information about WMD etc only came out after the war, but most of it was floating about before the war. There were plenty of doubts about Saddam and what he was capable of (in both senses of the expression) for months beforehand.

The torys will be different, and thats all we can ask for and demand. Giving labour a smack in the face to help them wake up to the real world they've hidden from for the last 12 years whilst inflating their own importance and pension schemes.

And the quote about gay rights helping the species evolve is golden, hehe ;) I'm all for gay rights, but they really wont help the species now, will they? ;)
(*Yes I'm joking, yes I know what you meant, but I just found it hilarious*)

Remember why the last time the tories were in was so hard? They were cleaning up labours mess, just like they'll have to do this time. Remember labour as the party that wanted to abolish the bust part of boom and bust, and look how that turned out. And the usual 'global recession' line just doesn't cut it, there's plenty of countries that didn't bankrupt themselves the way we have, it'll take 15 years before we're solvent again.

How does a former union leader make it to Home Secretary? Must have discarded a few of his principles along the way.

There were police in the streets? Sure. You know why they were in the streets?



Petrol is a limited resource, it's obviously going to increase in price. Not even mentioning the fact that these things increase in price because the total economy has been growing? Remember when you used to get wages in a brown pay packet?

I don't know what you're talking about there, when i went to A&E at Paisley following an incident while mounting climbing the response was amazing. Did the RAF do Mountain Rescue in your 'golden days'? Anyway, any problems with hospital capacity are going to be the fault of population growth, the real threat to the planet.

I don't believe that a persons skill and potentially their entire life should be measured by a few hours sitting in an exam hall anyway.

Housing is again to do with economic growth.

Insurance Tax i agree with, but you really think that's the sort of thing that the Tories would avoid if they came to power? Hell no, that's essentially what they dream about. Same for Airport Duty.

Gold? Shiny...

Again, i agree with the point on pensions but the Conservatives are the rich peoples party, they work in favour of people who are set for life anyway.

Pointless? Definitely not, Iraq was a mess and needed to be sorted out, even without the WMDs. Afghanistan we're in to stop the terrorist threat to this country, if we pulled out then they would push in. The question you should be asking is why did we have to do it?

Essentially what any party would do, an interesting proposition but i can't imagine that having a Tory government is a better option?*We really need one of the smaller parties (Green) to get voted in, somebody who actually cares about the country and not their own pockets. But that's just not going to happen is it?

Equality is something we should all be striving for, unlike the conservative party who want the direct opposite of that, for people to be judged on how much money they have.

I'm pretty sure they were making their own mess. You're blaming the government for the state of the economy, but you're forgetting that most of the problem was caused by banks investing in things that they shouldn't be. Hell, they're banks, they shouldn't be investing our money in anything like that. It's their job to look after it and give it back to us when we want it.
 
My mp is a ****ing idiot.

I'm blaming a government doing *exactly* what they said they wouldn't by allowing such things. To have a chancellor of 10 years, and then prime minister believe enough to openly state that he personally had created the end to the boom and bust economy is something you could not make up. Everything he says says that he truely believes he wasn't at fault, that it was everyone else who caused all the bother.

This man said that he would oversee the banks, that he would need a letter when inflation moved half a percent, that he could be trusted, that he was prudence embodied. Aside from that, our economy was underpinned by the above mentioned gold reserves, which old chaiman brown flogged off to the lowest bidder - these are the sort of things which are kept by a responsible government for a rainy day, like we see now.

I don't know about you, but if you lie to me as blatently as that, act as incompetantly as that and then dare to ask me for my vote? Well, I'll laugh in your face and pee on your shoes.

Vote for them again if you like, but they're laughing at you, and I dispair for you.
