I dont think that is correct. 30% didnt vote, and so you can't put them in your figures.

yep a load of ultra left wing out of work lay abouts. They would hate Brown as he would be seen as right wing in their eyes

You must move in some odd circles then. A man who took us to an illegitimate war. Lol

That is a bit harsh. He like Blair have a false reputation of providing the golden years. He after all saved the world. lol Go to America and they adore Blair when the majority here dislike him.

Pompey fans are part of the commitee. My brother was a creditor when Bournemouth went into admin and got nothign back as the majority were Cherrie fans and so wouldnt do anything that would hurt the club.

He is gone, and I wish him well where he can do some good.

In denial Lol

If we hadn't had Thatcher we would never have had the golden years ,that her tough decisions laid the foundations for. She took the nation on when we were in disarray. Years of the unions having too much power took its toll. The unions are important to stop employers taking people for granted etc,but they cannot use that strength try and bring governments down and destroy the jobs they were supposed to be protecting. The BA dispute has shown old practices that go back to the 1930's have no place in the cut throat modern world.

has anyone got Avrams league record this season?

I might put you on the wing in one of my fantastic tactical changes. We have to keep them guessing,

time will tell how funny it is

I should have put forever. It would be interesting (not possible of course) that once a coalition is formed that their policies then be voted on, as nonoe has voted for the combination we are going to be saddled with. The hunger for power is evident and the small nationalist parties wil be rubbing their hands in expectation, as we the English will be paying a ransome to get their vote. John Reid and Blunkett have come out of all this with honour IMO.As they have stated it as it is. I hope that DC has the common sense to put a halt to all this and cut Clegg adrift. Already the thought of a coalition with the LIbs is causing rifts in the labour party.The Scots labour mp last night said he would not sit down with the SNP, and so Cleggs hand is not as strong as he thinks. Let him jump into the pit of snakes with the lovely sounding rainbow coalition, but Bungle Jane and freddie might end up having a massive fall out. That will leave DC to come to power with a proper working government in 6months time.

I have always wished for saints to have a proper kop end. I doubt the Kop or the Stretford the Holt end would be so intimidating if the away fans were next to them. If you go to a game so you can spend most of the time facing the away fans so you caqn look hard, then you are wasting your money. As an exercise go to another part of the ground and you will see that the away fans diffuse the home fans singing due to thir noise being a barrier. When i have been in the iTchen oyou cant hear the Northam if the away section is large.We have diluted the strenght of our support by our insistance off ahaving to stand next to the away section. A nonsense IMO

On consideration, the PR system i assume would not get tactical voting. The Liberals probaly would have got 10 seats less had that not have happened. The nation has to think this through before dropping something that has been tried and trested for centuries. If we are likely to get more situations like this one, in the first past the post way then I think we do need to change. The danger is that whoever is power will put forward a system the disenfranchises perhaps a third or more of the electorate. To me it is a nonsense that labour needs to get less votes to get a lot more seats and the Liberals get less for more. I do understand their frustration, listening to the journalist from De Bild last night was very interesting. He was quite scathing about PR and said that with the first past the post government the rest of the world knew that what the government said to them they could be confident they could carry it out. Wheras he said that with a coalition it was fudge. He gave the impression that he thought it would be a mistake, in a global sense to our position in the world. All in all it is a copmplex issue that most are not qualified to understand.That is a danger as the masses will not be interested in reading up about the different systems and could be hoodwinked into voting for something they are not sure of. The classic for me is the way Heath through stealth got the nation to vote something in as a trading agreement into the EU. The result may have been different had it been spelt out by the politicians at the time.

Perhaps we have more foresight.Realistically though I think that we see that the nation is on the brink.We have seen the excess of Labour spending and the debt has to be started to be adressed this year and now not next year. What you should really take on board, if times get really hard the weak and poor get hurt most and so it is in their interests that a Tory governemnt gets a grip of this. Labour can only borrow for so long until people lenders say enough is enough and wont lend any more. Then we will spiral. All the money that is spent by the government has to be paid back, and so the longer you put it off the worse it gets

Andy, it depends on who was responsible for it. As i put I didnt enjoy watching miners being used as a political tool. Their leaders wanted to use their membership to try and pervert/oust the elected government of the day. Iam a person who wants social justice but allowing people to gain wealth by hardwork. They then contribute by paying fair taxes (not like Sir Phillip Green , who doesnt pay tax) to help care for the weak. To me the Tories have a lot of middle to left policies eg their NHS schools spending ringfenced. They are business minded and so are better placed in formulating a plan to get us out of an economic mess. When we are righted then Im all for no tax up to 10k a year. That is a fantastic idea and feel Cameron is likely to embrace that

Lol, yep 'i do ' the biggest

Thanks Joe.

I cant recall but before Hitler came to power what was their electoral system? It may have been first past the post I really cant recall.

I will be happy for them to join with Labour. The nation will be sickened and massive damage will be done to both parties. The nation will get hurt but frankly a lot of the voters deserve what they get.

Comedy gold. Have you ever thought about scriptwriting?

What is wong with a trusted system? We are the mother of democracies I have often been told. If you support a small party then PR is a great thing I'm sure. Which system is more likely to bring a real extreme party into power? Could the BNP or an Islamic party have reins to power in some way in a new PR system. i think in Austria the Nazi's have quite a bit of power, something that couldnt happen here

Where has this Progressive thing all of a sudden come from.? Is it something that is new or been around for a long time or just a new politicians new word for 'We want power at all costs. lets make up a name for it to try and fool the electorate' I really have not heard of it until a few days ago, when Campbell and Mandelson started using the word. I didnt notice their hunger for Liberal tendancies (well Mandelson has a few I know but) until sunday

It's about time he changed his name.
