They voted for Cameron. Leave the country if you must.

Glice 05.07.2010 07:04 AM

That is my actual plan, although I'll point out to you that Cameron does not have a majority.

leaving the country is for pussies, i'm going to form a terrorist cell

My non Tory MP got in thankfully.

Looks like it's going to be a hung parliament with Tory and Lib Dems. If things go with the economy as people are predicting, the Tories will lose their popularity.

Pookie 05.07.2010 08:24 AM

The trouble with a Tory/LibDem coalition is that we'll get a watered down Cameron and people won't get to see him in all his full-blown cuntosity.

Pookie 05.07.2010 08:25 AM

Incidentally my Tory MP got in again - she got 50% of the vote. I figure I just need to punch every other person when I go out.

Good idea, or alternatively punch the other 50% whilst wearing a blue rosette to change peoples mind.

The only problem with that is that you'd have to be careful with ethnic minorities - on the one hand, punching them would definitely dissuade that person from voting Tory; on the other, most Tories would probably quite like it if you gave 'some of that' to 'one of them'.

Lurker 05.07.2010 08:36 AM

Good point. You'd essentially be campaigning for them.

Pookie 05.07.2010 08:44 AM

Anybody else have council elections as well?

My LibDem councillor got re-elected. I would have voted against him for the sole reason that he was responsible for an outdoor gym being installed in my local park.
And here he is demonstrating how to look like a twat:


 

Pookie 05.07.2010 08:46 AM

^^^I feel a bit guilty for that because his daughter is at school with my daughter and he's a nice man.

But...an outdoor gym!????

Lurker 05.07.2010 08:48 AM

Does anybody even use those outdoor gyms? I've only ever seen them in rough areas too, where it's more likely yobbish youths will be hanging around.

It's in a rough-ish area and was vandalised within a week.

Lurker 05.07.2010 08:51 AM

Haha, how predictable.

demonrail666 05.07.2010 08:56 AM

why can't they just have a penalty shootout?

tory!!!


and no one ever had any good arguments for my comments other than ones along the lines of "the conservatives are just as bad" which was pretty much my point

i suppose it's easier to hide behind a simple get out clause (the conspiracy accusation) and call me names...

Lurker 05.09.2010 08:33 AM

What the hell are you talking about?

You're saying on one hand that the government can't predict a recession, then you're saying that they should ultimately be held responsible. No country involved in the recession came out of it very well and under Brown Britain did a lot better than most others. Would I say Darling would've done a better job than Vince Cable? Possibly. Would i say he'd have done a better job than George Osborne? Absolutely.

In relation to the latter point, I'm sorry to use a football analogy here but if Rafa Benitez isn't getting things done, that's reason enough to get rid of him, but not if it means replacing him with Phil Brown. And as far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what the country has voted for.
