"I hate the Tories"

They're never going to win the next election if they elect David, Clark or Rifkind.

Fox is maybe too right wing and Cameron has absolutely no experience.

Anyway, the topic was to really attack all the gits they interview who are there to watch. However, in my rambling I controversially hate all women politicians apart from the ex-PM of Ukraine who is sextastic.

WHat on earth is wrong with you? Turning into Celeste, which is NOT GOOD.

They should have Boris Johnson as leader.

I just enjoy a load of jumped up Tory boys fighting amongst themselves...

Yeah I'd agree with that.

Icarus is Mr Dull these days.

On the other hand, couldn't strong ideaological beliefs be said to lead to zealotry and bigotry? Look at US politics; it's utterly polarised. They've gone WAY too far in the other direction. Whilst ideaology can, to a certain degree, be helpful surely it's pragmatism* that any government needs to show in order to be successful?


* By pragmatism, I mean a pragmatic approach to doing what is right for the country, rather than pragmatically ensuring the continuation of power purely for the sake of power.

Why don't we try and discuss some politics now.

Personally, this centre ground politics of Britain makes me feel quite sad. There is no ideology about the parties these days, just men in suits with their spin doctors clinging to their legs. If the Conservatives do manage to shake off their image do you think they have a chance of regaining power?

As somebody I can't remember said in a two party system (which it really is, sorry Lib Dems) there will always be a swing. Surely if you can't keep the parties apart by policies then it is who the great unwashed like the look and sound of. Maybe people are fed up with New Labour as the front bench begin to get older and fatter and it seems Labour are more concerned about when Gordon Brown will take chagre rather than worry about maintaining power, yet.

I love Sheepy, even if he's not the new black.

Power to Sheepy. Yeah.
