no conviction! no balls!
I HATE POLITICANS !!!!!!!!

you should head to the pub and have a few pints

am doin that tomorrow night.. tonight is a life wasted on RM.

So I take it you'll rant about the Lib Dems while Hallucination rants about the Tories.

Lib Dems are scum. Should never have entered into a coalition with the Tories.

I still am perplexed at how that coalition ever came to be. How stable is the government in that regard?

it's stable. it's not called the coalition for sucking satan's cock for nothing

could be worse....we could be living in the republic where they dont think twice about raping you of your money...if you have any money.

ROLL ON A 32 COUNTY REPUBLIC !!!

The other coalition (i.e. Lib-Lab) would never have worked: it would be dependent on the whims of Scottish and Welsh nationalist MPs, and MPs from Northern Ireland. Also, it would be viewed as a coalition of the losers. Thus, I think those ideas were influencing the thinking of the Lib Dems. Also, I'm not too sure exactly how "left wing" the leadership of the Lib Dems actually are. They have a lot more in common with the neo-liberal cabal in charge of the tories than the (at times) authoritarian New Labour regime.

I still think they should have had a minority Tory government than this coalition. They're getting a lot of mud flung at them for unpopular co-alition policies. This could affect the stability in the long term, but it seems pretty solid for now. Clegg, the Lib Dem leader, seems to passionately believe in the project. If the coalition's policies cause a double dip recession, however, I think he's leading his party into electoral oblivion.



I take it you're a nationalist? I'm curious because the Republic's troubles must surely be affecting thinking up north about a United Ireland. If anything, it seems to have kicked that theory into the long grass for a few decades... what do you think?

I see. I'd definitely agree that a minority Tory gov't would have made the most sense.

As much as the brits have fcuked up this part of the sod we now have our local clowns doing their best to prop up the tory party line. and to look south (once the promised land) isnt easy on the eyes anymore either.

we're fucked ppl. up,down,sideways.
