I can’t pretend not to be annoyed that the SNP did not win the by election yesterday.The way that Labour have been so full of themselves today is sickening.Its unbelievable that they are celebrating a much reduced majority. Well done to the SNP for such an increase in their vote. A sure sign of the success of the SNP in government
I can’t believe that the media are intent on using the argument that Brown’s role in the economic crisis is helping him and his party now- come on, he played a massive role as Chancellor in putting us in the position we are in. What will it take for people to realise that they are just as bad as Cameron and co?
In the USA the people have spoken, and have voted for change. What’s happening here? Some voters somehow believe Labour’s scaremongering that the devolved nations would not have the skills to cope with a financial crisis should we be independent. This is utter nonsense! Look at the USA, its hardly a small nation, but it too is facing its biggest challenge yet in this economic crisis.
Nevertheless,this result is more worrying for the Tories than it is the SNP. I think that the right are at a loss as to what to do and where to turn to. Nobody seems to have much sympathy for their politics at the moment.
Cameron has no clear answers about how to help those who are hurting the most.All I’ve heard from them is the complete opposite-the idea of cutting flexible working and support for the poorest.(not that London Labour’s green paper on welfare reform is any better, by suggesting a cut in benefits for lone parents of children over 7 years)
I get angry when people expect us to be thankful for what Gordon Brown is currently doing, when it is so obviously not enough, and when he has helped shape the situation that we are now all in.
Wait until there are more job cuts. Let’s see if he will call a General Election then, or will Brown go back to his old dithering self?…
