Another week, another 'handed on a plate' gift to people wanting to mock the Conservatives.

The original ad:

Whoever in Tory HQ is coming up with their ideas must be employed by Labour, it's the only logical explanation. It's doing far more damage than anything Brown has thrown at them.
 
:lol :lol :lol

Also in the news, Tories think teen pregnancy rate in poorest areas is 50%.

Lib Dem response is quite funny.
"The Tories seem to think that half our teenagers are pregnant, our cities are like The Wire and that people will get married for a few extra quid.

"If they really believe Britain is like this, it's remarkable that Conservative MPs can pluck up the courage to leave their houses.

"They should lower their drawbridges, spend less time tending their moats and duck houses, and join the rest of us in the real world."

:lol at the thatcher one.

I hope we can kee this thread running, as I for one am having a real time of it in my mind leading up to this election. Would love to discuss the ins and outs of evetything thats going on with more people than I currently do (3) :D
 
I can't stand Brown, or the ongoing Nannystateification of the UK, Iraq and countless other things, but the Conservatives is like watching a slowmotion carcrash ...

Cameron's attempt to convince people they've changed and have different ideas/policies is having quite the opposite effect.

If they don't win, it will be Dave that lost it.

Really? The Tories are going to lose the election because a few people on the internet Photoshop their ad campaigns?

Considering their poll lead has halved since they started this campaign (which began with the incredibly stupid massive airbrushed pic of Cameron), I'd hardly say it's helped ...

Anything which plays into the Conservatives and Cameron especially being disingenuous hurts them, it tooks ages for them to shake the Cameron/Salesman image.

Osbourne's reaction to the 54% mistake of "It's only a decimal point" was facepalm worthy as well. You're only the shadow chancellor!

People's trust in politicians is at an all time low, and many people have an extra reason to distrust the Conservatives. They are going backwards because they aren't addressing that, Cameron doesn't come across like a conviction politician. Their advertising campaign and image is completely misjudged so far, patronising, alarmist, negatives with no positives, say as little about policy as possible, let Labour lose it rather than the Conservatives win it.
 
6 months ago I would've expected the tories to take this election but they're fucking it up.


Everyone should do the smart thing and vote lib dem

This is the worst

British people have pretty short memories. THINGS ARE BAD AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS OF LABOR BACK TO TORY.

Not as short as Americans. THINGS ARE BAD UNDER OBAMA STILL, AFTER ONE YEAR OF SLOW PROGRESS BACK TO PALIN/TEA PARTY.
 
Oh c'mon Cameron and the Torries aren't that bad. I want my three way hung governement so forces a change in the voting system.

Fifteen years is an awfully long time though. Can anyone honestly say that four consecutive terms for one party under just two leaders is healthy for democracy? At least American presidents have just the two-term limit.

I'm not saying vote for the Tories (although that who I will be voting for in my constituency), but seriously people, another four/five years of Gordon Brown and Labour?! I despair of the prospect.
 
Well give the Tories their dues - their blue rinse and you know your going to have some Eton type buttfuck you without a reacharound....what I hate about Labour, their supposed to be the party of the working man, and yet do the same thing. "Things can only get better"...my arse.

i can't imagine a hung parliament without everyone dressing in regency period attire, waving bits of paper around and throwing their little rumplestiltskin shoes at each other whenever a piffling issue is moving against their persuasion.
 
I've never voted Tory before...
...but it seemed like the easiest way to get Cameron off my doorstep.
...but then nobody has asked me to pose for a poster before either.

If it's unhealthy for democracy, surely that's the electorate's fault for voting in Labour at every election since 1997? If people want someone to lead for more than two terms, shouldn't they be allowed to vote as such? As long as there's a fair election at the prescribed interval, what does it matter?

I've always thought that the American term limit of presidencies unnecessarily hamstrings them. It creates lame ducks for a good chunk of the second term and means that no matter how good a president is, they have to pack up their bags and leave after eight years. If someone's doing a good job and has more beneficial work to do, why do you have to get rid of them?

I do agree that it's time for a change in the UK, though; I just disagree with term limits beyond having to face the electorate every few years.

You think the Conservatives can really fuck this up? It seems like they've had this in the bag for a while. I can't see Labour holding on.

Lib Dems winning would be awesome.
 
I like how the Tories are acting like they were all about the working man, and not a slave to Corporate greed like those awful Laborz.

You don't actually think the majority of Tea Party goin' Palin paraders were pro-Obama at any point, right?
 
I turned 18 just after the last election so this will be the first time I've voted in a General, however I can find no reason at all to vote for any of the parties.

Labour have been in power for too long and are far too comfortable. They've made some terrible decisions over the last couple of years and they need to go, for a shake up if nothing else. The Liberals have possibly the most lightweight leader I've ever seen and there is absolutely no way whatsoever that he would be able to lead the country, so they're out. As for the Conservatives, well, I am from the North-East of England, so you can probably guess what my opinions of them are. I refuse to vote for them under any circumstances, ever.

I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to just spoil the ballot paper as it's looking like the only reasonable choice.

Of course not. But the point remains, we have the patience of a two-year old.
 
i laugh at anyone who thinks the Tories can come in and what magically
End the Iraq/Afghan wars
Solve the economic issues (The whole world is still dealing with)
Do anything different with the deficit
Sort out the NHS
Sort out unemployment

HAHAHA :lol :lol :lol
Do they have some kind of magic wand?

I'd personally make anyone claiming the dole work for that money. Clean the streets, clean graffiti, do community work. Anything. Why the hell are these people sitting at home doing fuck all and getting paid, when they could be doing some labour for it. Even 10hours a week.
 
I like the "he's going to cut Ordnance Survey" graffiti.

Also, did anyone watch Piers Morgan interview Gordon Brown? I didn't as I don't like watching two idiots talk. Can't believe the man in the PM office would do such a thing. So degrading. Whats next, Ant and Dec hosting the ITV debate with a series of games inbetween questions?

Well it's an easy ride and 'normal' people turned off of the political shows are more likely to sit and watch it.

Same reason Gordon Brown and before him Tony Blair liked going on GMTV.

If this was the outcome of the next election I'd be a very happy man.

As it is, I dread the damage the tories will wreak across this land in the ten years before we run back to Labour.

Workfare, not Welfare. You've got my vote.
 
I didn't know UK politics was so funny, the shops are killing me!
Still you've all got better memories than the french...
I mean the whole :
'This time we'll be changing the country'
by the guy that was in the most important place in the government before?

Oh burn, Lib Dems are on the roll. shame that they will never get the chance or the opportunity to run the country, even though some of their policies are quite naive I still think they'll be a breath of fresh air compare to Tony's cronies or the resurrection of Maggie and her policies. Lesser of two weasels would do for now.

Yeah, or force people into work related training schemes. I'm a socialist and unashamedly so, but as such my allegiance is to the working man [or woman]. If someone genuinely wants to work but can't find employment, I think the state should 100% be behind them. Otherwise... less so.

Vote for a minority party like the Greens or whoever fits your worldview closests. Even if they don't get a seat, the continual reduction in vote share for winning candidates will keep the pressure on whichever government comes in to enact Proportional Representation.

I doubt it, the only thing likely to get a governing party to try to bring in PR is fear of losing(see Browns recent attempt) or a hung parliment(with the Lib Dems)
