Rejoice, just rejoice. As Gordon Brown made the single best speech of his life, resigning his commission, I doubt many in the country who care about these things had a dry eye. I’m delighted to see the Labour Party in opposition, and I’m hoping that David Cameron will live up to the hopes and [...]
Apologies for the title, but really, seriously, what is it we have now? The Liberal Democrats offered Proportional Representation. They slumped in the election losing seats, and retained their position as the third party in UK politics. The Labour Party offered a referendum on Alternative Vote PR. They lost 91 seats. The Conservatives said no [...]
So here we are, in the process of creating a stable and responsible Government for the United Kingdom. The negotiations at the Cabinet Office between William Hague, George Osborne and Oliver Letwin from the Conservatives and a much larger group from the Liberal Democrats has broken for the evening, with each side returning to their [...]
Some supposed Conservative commentators have criticised David Cameron for his positioning immediately following the result in the general election. David Cameron has led his party from basketcase status to gaining more seats than any Conservative leader in recent history. This deserves to be said. He is my leader, and I am proud and delighted to [...]
The Conservative Party has won the UK general election, winning more votes than any other party and more seats than any other party. David Cameron has not won a majority, and as a result the incumbent Prime Minister has a right to try to form a government. He can do this by forming a formal [...]
If you ever wanted to crystalise the state of the election race, you couldn’t do much better than these two entirely adjacent posts on the BBC’s constantly updating election news ticker. This cut and pasted exactly as it is on the BBC website. 0854: David Cameron is campaigning in north London. The Conservatives will “clean [...]
Okay, so the opinion polls, on the weekend after the LibDems scored well in the first live televised debate, show a serious swing towards the LibDems. And, okay, the polls seem to show a Hung Parliament with Labour having the largest number of seats on UNS. But seriously, there are two more debates and almost [...]
Very little to say here. M&C Saatchi Saatchi & Saatchi*, Labour’s poster people, have run a competition for any cretin with MS Paint to have a go at saving Gordon Brown from the apparently inevitable embarrassing and potentially intensely satisfying fate of being an unelected Prime Minister fucked out on his ear. They chose a [...]
The Conservatives (and Saatchis) have produced posters highlighting some of the shortcomings of Gordon Brown in an attempt to remind people what a useless dreadful appalling arsehole he is. But I don’t think they’ve gone far enough. And now I think I’ve gone too far. [imagebrowser id=11]
Dizzy, on his as-usual spot-on blog, has made a case for conservatives to prepare for the ground-war that will accompany the budget on March 24. His reasoning is impeccable; March 25th is the last practicable date for an announcement of a May 6th General Election. Controlling the media and government information service until it [...]
