Is this Coalition Goverment Doomed

[Skashion]

You think Labour will get a working majority?

Opinion polls are certainly indicating that.

 

[york away to this!]

I think whichever party is in office they are doomed and hamstrung while we are being dictated to by an unelected bunch of cuckoo clock makers in brussels.

...do they make cukoo clocks in brussels?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

They won't win the next election though so ASAP'll do for me.

You think Labour will get a working majority?

They are 7/4 to do so
No majority 6/4
Tories majority 9/4

Whilst I fully accept that bookies ride around in Aston Martins and have their own jets for a reason they are notoriously poor at predicting the outcomes of elections anything more than a year before the event imo.

Ah the tories.

Whilst everyones attention yesterday was on the reform of the HOL debate in the commons. That stupid posh **** Osborne was in Brussels arguing for, yes for bankers bonuses. The EU want them capped, Osborne doesnt.

Count on the party of the rich to look out for only the rich.

Don't be silly. I thought you studied politics.

Be careful what you wish for.

Without the calming hand of the Lib Dems the Tories would run amok. If the Conservatives had won in 2010 things would be far, far worse in terms of social policy etc..

This. I think Labour are the best of the top 3 parties, although Ed Milliband shouldn't be in charge. Also I think Labour would be better if the Unions didn't hold sway over them.
In answer to the question of the OP, the coalition will last until the next election and then Labour will win. People are sick of the cuts and will look to labour.

Who will carry them on.

FWIW, I don't know any real human that has even mentioned the cuts (other than on here), let alone noticed them or are "sick" of them. It's just the usual noisy minority.

I think the Tories will poll the most votes at the next election and there will be another coalition. They are doing remarkably well for mid term and will have some vote winners by the time we get to vote again.

Mid term elections mean nothing. A lot can happen in between now and then. Also you have to take into account Who the Sun newspaper supports(I mention this as whoever the Sun backs tends to win a majority).
I know many people in the public sector that have been hit by the cuts. I'm sure a large amount of soldiers who will be made unemployed due to the army 2020 scheme will agree with me.

It will be a hung Parliament again. I'll wager a pint on that.

You know you'd lose. Your transparent plan to get me drunk and then arse rape when we do meet will not be successful. I am well stocked with Rohypnol and a master of stealth. It is you who shall awaken with a sore arsehole.

I'd agree with this. It's in the interests of both the Tories and the Lib Dems to postpone the election as much as possible; I've noticed the Lib Dems in particular attempting to keep quiet re the prospect of boundary changes being dropped if Lords reform goes too (quelle surprise) - Simon Hughes in particular. (http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/p...ms-should-not-threaten-block-boundary-changes) because they realise they're fucked either way. They want to spend as much time in office as possible before they're sent to their electoral doom. For the tories, they want to see their economic policies last the distance. It's 50/50 how that turns out, if the economy starts growing significantly over the next two years it will turn out to be a good move. If not, Labour will most definitely make hay out of it.

Labour would I think become the largest party in a snap election as I say, but would that be the best thing for them? Possibly not. They know it's better for the coalition government to preside over the situation as it is at present, losing support in public and within their own ranks. Ed Miliband knows he's playing the long game here, and if the election came in 2015 with very little having changed, I think he'd stand a chance of winning an overall majority (albeit a small one).

No. That's just where they hang out.

Im sure the last tory govt to increase there vote was Mcmillan in 1955 and he had just taken over from Churchill

A dying irrelevant party obsessed by europe and foriegners who act only for the 1%

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

I was cringing watching that Lords reform bill debate. These people are so far removed from their constituents. The odd one is obviously decent but as a whole they are a disgusting group of self-serving leeches.

[TheMightyQuinn]

It was doomed from the beginning.

Lib Dems sold their souls and are now paying the price.

Tories are just anti working class posh cunts who love to steal from the poor and give to the rich. The only people they fool are cunts who think the width of their TV screen dictates their class. Cunts. Tory cunts.

The thing that gets me is that for a party that supposedly *resents the EU holding sway and power they have created a situation, with the reform of the spousal visa regulations, where British citizens have less rights in the UK than other EU citizens living here.

EU citizen and want to bring your husband/wife to this country? - No problem, a cursory flash of your marriage certificate, sign this bit of paper, no fees whatsoever, bob's your uncle.

UK citizen and want to bring your husband/wife to this country? - Okay that will be a minimum of £3000 in visa fees, oh and you better earn a minimum of £18,600 a year because you have to buy your rights in this country now, and your spouse will have take several difficult tests designed specifically to fail applicants to recoup the maximum possible in test fees.

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Cameron and May are responsible for the biggest erosion of British civil liberties and general 'goodwill' to its populace that has ever taken place in peacetime Britain in the past century.

Ah Labour.

I`ll never forget Gordons famous words..what were they " Lets make London the banking capital of the world" While i sell off our gold at poundstretcher prices

In the parliamentary bar no doubt, over a couple of Courvoisiers and a cigar

Steal from the poor?

I'm not biting.

I happen to agree with them.


I find wide screen TV's to be gaudy and vulgar in the extreme.

I can think of a few of the fuckers who should be hung
