Do you think this would be a good time for the Torys to call an election?
I think it would be. I think that Cleg and his crew would currently loose most of their seats because of the way they stood back and gave the Torys a free ride on the collage/tuition fee increases and now again they have stood back with the Torys veto
Seams to me the Lib Dems will do anything to cling onto their bit of power.
Add that to the fact that the right wing press have convinced much of the UK that Europe is a bad thing, if the Torys broke up the coalition now and had an election, I think they could win it hands down
What do you think?
Haven't the rules changed now Blue? I thought the PM can no longer call a General Election on a whim, it has to be the will of Parliament or following a majority no-confidence vote as a result of fixed term Parliaments.
Would be a bit like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas at this time, surely?
David Cameroon made a big thing about this Parliment being a five year deal.
Would be yet another broken promise if they held one now. So expect the voting papers any day soon !!!
John
yes you are correct gnv.
A motion of no confidence is passed in Her Majesty's Government by a simple majority and 14 days elapses without the House passing a confidence motion in any new Government formed
or
A motion for a general election is agreed by two thirds of the total number of seats in the Commons including vacant seats (currently 434 out of 650)
i think if cameron was to go to the polls, going by polls already been done i beleeve he would win a majority in his own right. if he could, would he take the gamble i wonder?
a bigger majority of brits are glad that for the first time in 20 yeers a british pm has told the french and the germans to go fuck themselves.
the snivelling clegg would sell his own mothers soul to be pm :twisted:
i think cameron has done well and as a national newspaper stated today.
" thanks sarko. you may be a treacherous tin-pot tyrant and fake fair weather friend but you have done britain a huge favour. :thumbup:
now we will see the french in particular do everything in there power to exclude britain. we should have left them to sink after the second world war as without us they would now be nothing more than farmers sowing the land and certainly not some overpowered tin pot country dictating to us.
if it was me i would tell brussels and there unelected peeple there to go forth and feck off. trade with europe yes, to do anything else with europe no. and now brussels know that to.
cheers david and well done :thumbup:
This thread is gettin funnier n funnier.
now would not be a good time to call an election for the Tories....lol
So many above seem to dislaike the ...yet you best remember this is the party that is holding you in office. Now yes in the next election, people will despair of them and not vote again for them. Most of the new votes they got were dis-affected labour voters. Do you really think they would now vote Tory ?
The country was left in a very poor state by the last labour government. No argument there. However the new Tory administration has just driven us further and further into the depths. We have not reduced borrowing...we have not the highest inflation figure in a decade.....we have the highest unemployment and rising in 20 years.....and you still think the Tory government will get a overall majority ?
The stance on Europe will backfire on us. It was highlighted today that a compromise was offered to the british, and it was open for further discussion. However we were not willing to discuss it....it was our way or no way !! We are totally isolated now from Europe. They are talking about reducing if not removing the British rebate !! When they are going to build a new car plant or manufacuring base.....where do you think it will be ? Well I can tell you where it won't be...Britain.
So no...there won't be an election....what we would end up with is a totally split parliment, as I don't think either of the two main parties would win an outright majority and the would be condemmed to no more than a handfull of seats.
Blue,
as per the original question posed, Call an election now?
Why would any of them want to do so ?
- Tories coming in with a minority and having to form a coalition government, but with lower opionion poll figures than the last General Election
- Lib Dems with ratings 'through the floor' after Student Grants, etc.
- Labour, with their 'sparkling' leadership team and record, though marginally better poll ratings
Come on, have you heard any of them mention calling an Election or for a Vote of Confidence.
As some one said earlier, it would be like "Turkey's voting for Christmas"
Seems we are stuck with what was elected, whether you voted/agree with them or not, until the next disaster and some one realises they might garner sufficient support for
a) a vote of confidence to succeed
b) support from voters in a general election
Perhaps Nostrodamus was correct with 2012, predicting paint a bleak picture of massive destruction and havoc :sad:
There is no point having an election - just randomly pick names out of a hat. They are all as bad/ignorant/selfish/crooked as the each other. Any who start with a spark of honesty and humanity are either elbowed out or have to prostitute their standards on day 1 to even stay in the job.
