Brown stepping down - What now? [Merged]

[Skashion]

It's fucking funny -

I'm still pissing myself at the thousands who voted Lib Dem to keep the Tories out.

What gives you the impression that people voted Lib Dem to keep the tories out?

This sort of lazy statement needs to be challenged. There were probably people who did that, where the LD's were the closest challengers to the Cons but there were also people who did the same to keep Labour out. I suspect a lot would have liked to vote Lib Dem but voted tactically for Conservative or Labour as the LibDems were the third party in the constituency.

So there were at least as many people, if not more, who actually got something close to what they wanted, even if ti was via a roundabout route.

There are even people who voted Labour hoping for a socialist government. They're the people I piss myself thuinking about.

Thing is, there are equally as many dogmatic tories under the same delusion and in voting for the tories they are saving Britain from socialism. You only have to look at the Daily Mail comments pages to see how many deluded fuckwits there are on both sides of the party-political divide who are convinced that we've become a communist state despite New Labour's clearly established attachment to bankers, the CBI and various other billionaires and millionaires, as well as massive increases in indirect taxes - which hurt poor workers more than anyone else. Hence why I entirely stay out of party politics apart from playing devil's advocate once in a while.

David Milliband the best in the Labour Party?
He isn't even the best in the Milliband family.

He is also another creature of Mandelson.

At this moment I would say Andy Burnham.

Not going to happen. He isn't 'spivvy' articulate enough. The future is characters like Clegg and Cameron, vacuous but come over with a nice bedside manner. Andy Burnham too often looks like a 'rabbit in the headlights' on Newsnight for me. As does Cruddas.

Cruddas is too much of a thinker to become a party leader, sadly.

I really couldn't cope with cameron mk 3

in the guise of Milliband
Cruddas Has done a damn good job of saving the labour party from oblivion in london

Clear red water

The media circus is packing up and leaving town. All the studios on College Green by the Houses of Parliament are down or coming down. There's no media scrum outside LibDem HQ or the Cabinet Office.

Worst of all, I won't be able to gaze at the lovely Kay Burley, in her fantastic variety of coloured coats, in my lunch hour. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.
