November 24, 200915 yr Author The problem is that while David Cameron is very plausible; we know, however, that a lot of characters within his ranks are not. Blair has set a precedent that pre-election pledges can be discarded in favour of the real agenda, and even if Cameron really is as moderate as he tries to portray himself you never know when his party will stick the knife in. I’d have thought off the top of my head that: the hunting ban, gay rights, NHS, and the minimum wage are some of the most susceptible areas, for regression under a Conservative government.
November 24, 200915 yr The problem is that while David Cameron is very plausible Is he....? I dont think so.... I can certainly see through him..... He's just Blair Version 2.0..... He'll make all the right noises in opposition, but at the end of the day, as soon as they're elected he'll revert to "Old Tory"..... Dont believe the hype....

Blair has set a precedent that pre-election pledges can be discarded in favour of the real agenda, and even if Cameron really is as moderate as he tries to portray himself you never know when his party will stick the knife in. I’d have thought off the top of my head that: the hunting ban, gay rights, NHS, and the minimum wage are some of the most susceptible areas, for regression under a Conservative government. Blair didn't set that precedent. John Major won the 1992 election by promising to cut taxes. Having won the election, the Tories introduced massive tax rises. I'm sure I could find plenty of earlier precedents if I wanted to. I doubt the Tories would abolish the minimum wage. However, I can't see it rising very much - if at all - under a Tory government. The pledge to consider fixed-term parliaments will last about ten minutes. The promised emergency budget will be dreadful. They will claim "things are worse than we thought" but the aim will be to be able to introduce tax cuts (for everyone rather than just millionaires) or spending increases before the following election. They will probably also find some excuse to abandon their opposition to the expansion of Heathrow.
September 8, 201113 yr Hilarious story today about Osbourne. Although, how the hell did he win Politician of the Year?? George Osborne described MPs as 'w***ers' in joke at GQ awards Full Story After receiving the Politician of the Year award, the chancellor began his acceptance speech with a light-hearted joke about bankers. And, in an apparent attempt to keep up with his comedic co-stars at the awards, he followed it up with a cringeworthy joke, said to have been 'worthy of the Eton school playground'. 'It is a pleasure to win this award. I’ve just come from addressing about 300 bankers in the City of London and it says something about my profession that I was still the most unpopular person in the room. It is a fine recognition,' he said. But the tone soon descended to one of vulgarity, when he added: ‘I’m not sure who actually reads the politics pages of GQ magazine. 'I suspect they are the only pages that a teenage boy hasn’t stuck together in reading the magazine. 'Some might say that’s because the w***ers are on the page rather than reading them.’ Mr Osborne's joke was met by a stony silence rather than the laughs he apparently expected, and the chancellor was even heckled by some members of the audience. He was said to be embarrassed and apparently left the stage quickly. Host David Mitchell said Mr Osborne had ‘lowered the tone’. :lol:

David Cameron is a political lightweight and has no substance.He is far removed from the day to day realities of life for the ordinary folk in this country and I doubt cares much about anyone but Tory voters.The only thing he has going in his favour is that he makes Boris Johnson and George Osbourne look like the Tory toff, foppish clowns they are.George Osbourne follows the Republican method of financial leadership tax cuts, business subsidies and less regulation all to benefit the super rich.
