kernow43 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The latest survey indicates there will be a hung parliament, but it would be Gordon Brown who would be in the position to try and form a government as leader of the largest party.

Guest proud2beaussie Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Polls are notoriously variable,especially in the last few months prior to an election,personally having spoken to a lot of Brits on my recent trip back to the UK I can't imagine labour being re-elected,especially not with Gordon Brown as leader,the average "man in the street" really seems to dislike him,at least that is the impression I got.

That's the impression I get, I feel depressed just to look at him, a real sour faced person. I remember watching the Remembrance service from the Albert Hall, and every time the camera panned on to him he had the look of "take me out from this boring stuff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 But really what is the alternative David Cameron gawd help us, Nick (who the heck is he?)

Guest Andy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 But really what is the alternative David Cameron gawd help us, Nick (who the heck is he?) Clegg no one stands out and no party has policies worth voting for, I really do despair! I agree, they are all very uninspiring. In my opinion Cameron is the only alternative and should be given a chance even though he seems to be a bit like a rabbit in the headlights. Can you imagine what the country will be like if we carry on the same way as the last 11 years, it dosent even bear thinking about, and the fact that we cant even escape to another country if labour do get back in is even more worrying!

shaunkaren Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 If they did get in again, it will be just the excuse I need for staying in Oz. Even if Tories did get in it will take at least 10 years to fix the mess the UK is in, and people won't like the spending cuts to services and benefits and will therefore revote Labour in again, who in turn will spend any money in the coffers that the Tories have managed to amass (sounds a very familiar story, 1997 all over again!!) As for the exchange rate, I can't see that rising against the Aussie Dollar for a LONG time either so not good for bringing money over here either! On the flip side a good Aussie dollar to other countries means cheaper imports so better value for money here, swings and roundabouts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does that cause you a problem or is it that you know I am right. But you never explain why you think labour should get back in Kirk, you just go on about your mum:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
