No weird that, despite prevailing opinion, Cameron hasnt just nicked it from Obama. Ive seen the video clip of him using it as a slogan.
Loads of what they say is meaningless tat. In a way, the economic troubles have been a godsend to people interested in this election, because its brought it back to facts and figures (potentially unrelated to reality, but whatever) and away from just personality.and I could name many major change policies, it is not just the rhetoric. Certainly not "meaningless tat".
Not really, the conservatives poicies about reducing government are a long step from "small government" or letting individuals do things for themselves.Labour has the socialist belief of big government needing to do everything for the little person.
Conservatives have a belief in individuals being able to do the right thing for themselves better than the government can.
Actually, i was nearly set on the tories but then i read their policies on europe.It may not be 1983 but for the first election in my adult lifetime, the major and serious policy divides (as well as philosophy divides) are there.
Obviously ill still vote. But my vote will be pretty meaningless.It always matters, and shock results can happen in any seat. EG Portillo in '97 should not have happened, you'd have thought before hand. His was about as solidly Tory as it could come and still fell.
He could. But why would someone like that have the interests of the common man in mind? He has no possible way to relate. People like that support class interests in the same way a plumber in East Hull supports Labour (or the BNP). Right?How do you know that? Because that's what he's attacked as?
Why can it not be that he is both someone with a priviledged background and a genuinely general nice guy?
Its almost like youre some kind of card carrying Tory, with your mind made up on the whole thing...If Cameron's not genuinely a nice guy, why is the only reason we have to believe he's not is what school he went to? So he went to a fancy school, so what? Where's the reports of him being an arsehole who screams in womens faces, punches his staff, throws Nokia's against the wall, pushes people off chairs etc, etc . . . no wait, that's the current PM who does all that sorry. If Cameron was even a fraction of the arsehole that Brown is, we'd here about that too.
