Tory and Labour running scared.

Since Nick Clegg outshone his opposition in their last debate all Tory and Labour can think of is how to try and degrade the surging Lib-Dems rather than fight for their survival by having faith in their own policies.

The fact that the knives have been out for Nick and the Lib-Dems proves that they are now a force to reckon with, and that the other parties are running scared of a party that they had discounted in every election till now.

This is just the kick up the backside the Tory and Labour candidates needed.
All to often they have been so confident that it was a race between them, and all they had to do was to outdo each other to win the election, then once in, all the promises made were forgotten about and they governed to suit themselves, ignoring the wishes of the general public who put them there.

Tory and Labour must have as much faith in their own manifestos as the general public has if they have to stoop so low, by using tactics that attempt to discredit the Lib-Dems rather than win the public vote by assuring them that they have the right manifesto to put this country back on its feet.

"THEN AGAIN, WE ALL KNOW HOW LOW POLITICIANS ARE PREPARED TO STOOP."

We all knew both Labour and Tory were all washed up, but were afraid to vote for another party in case our vote was wasted.

NOT SO NOW, we know our votes were wasted on the other two parties in elections of the recent past, history is proof of that, and the real change is with the Lib-Dems according to the manifestos declared by all for this election.

We know now that our votes will count, and can now put our X in the box where our convictions lie, which will make this coming election all the more interesting.

Nick Clegg has shown the two arrogant parties that it is time they listened to the electorate when in or out of power, so now perhaps, they will sit up and take notice, learn the lesson dished out to them and eat the humble pie that has been well and truly place in front of them.

The Lib-Dems certainly can be no worse than the present government given the disasters they have laid at our doors in the last few years, and considering the Tory party has no interest in the working man, also given the fact that their policies are not much different from Labours, the two parties could well amalgamate rather than face each other in combat, which they may well have to do in the next debate, when they have to come face to face with the WRATH of Nick Clegg this time.

This time they will not agree with him the way they did in the last debate, but they will have to come up with some NEW ideas of their own, THAT is the only way they can prove their worth to a disillusioned public, NOT go down the road of OLD politics by using tactics to discredit the opposition.

We want responsible adults with a strong manifesto to lead us forward, not stupid schoolboys who think they are still fighting in the playground, and so far Nick Clegg is the only one who can hold his head high enough to make us sit up and take notice.

When it comes down to the nitty gritty, they all will have to remember, that it is US and OUR wishes they will have to take notice of if they want to be elected, not score points off each other.

Grovelling time is upon us once again.

The next general election has to be held within the next year, and with the main parties running scared (Labour and Tory)due to the instability in both parties over the blunders they have both been guilty of, grovelling time is upon us once again.
Politicians seem to think that they can do as they wish in-between elections and only show concern for the voters wishes when an election looms. They have got it very wrong this time, what with the expenses row, billions of money disappearing into thin air leading to the financial disaster we now all find ourself in,the backtracking on some of the stupid decisions taken during their time in office, the Gurkha situation to name but a few, is proof enough that this government only listens to the voters when they are forced into a corner.
Gordon Brown will be forced to call an election within the year otherwise he would still cling on by his fingernails to the post even his colleagues want to see him removed from. All the disasters and shambolic events that have occurred during his term in office as both Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer can be laid at his door because as the saying goes "The buck stops here" and no matter how much grovelling his ministers do in their attempt to gain votes leading up to the election the voters will not forgive OR forget when they are standing in front of the ballot box. James Keir Hardie would turn in his grave now, if he knew the party he founded had turned against the very people and policies he formed it for in the first place.
We should not forget the Tory misdemeanour's on the expense front either as it has been proven by the recent disclosures that they too have only their own interests at heart and are in politics to line their own pockets first at the expense of the tax payers and their policies and our wishes come second.
Labour are a disaster and the Tories do not deserve to get in simply because of this as they will do no better than Labour. It is only to be hoped that the British public realise this come election time and kick both parties out to the sidelines where they can lick their wounds, come back down to earth and remember the real meaning of democracy and carry out the wishes of the electorate if they are ever allowed back in.
The British public are no fools and certainly not as stupid as politicians think they are, so lets not be taken in by the grovelling this time and really prove it to them by voting them out.

Its time to give fresh blood a chance

Wouldn't it be great if we could all dictate how much wages and expenses we think we are entitled to? Well it might be great for us, but think how much harm it would do our already crumbled economy so is it not time that our MP's thought the same way and stopped fleecing us of money donated in taxes to help the economy and NOT to line their pockets.
Gordon Brown is rapidly running out of straws to grasp as he struggles to recover from the abundant errors of judgement he has committed since taking over as Prime Minister.
This desperate move to change the MP's perks and wage system would never have arisen had the guilty parties who took advantage of their position to fleece us never come to light.
Long gone is the time when these crooks decide their wages and perks and the time has come to take it right out of their hands and pass it over to an independent source that the government have no hold over and will assess the situation honestly.
As long as these unashamed, so called politicians have anything to do with any set up concerning THEM they will always take advantage of the situation by putting themselves first and their country and voters last. The exact opposite of what they were elected for in the first place.
Labour are desperately trying to dig themselves out of a hole in time for the looming elections but as far as I am concerned they do not have enough shovels nor do I think that the Tories should take it for granted that they are next in line, due to Gordon Browns failures as they are no better. Its time to give fresh blood a chance as in this time of political disasters they can do no worse.
