What bitterness? I think its been fairly good natured for a political thread.

 

Edit: I'd add that if you can't get worked about politics, which for some people represents their core values and beliefs, what can you get worked up about?

 

You tory gimp.

The big no-nos for discussion (religion and politics) are such because imo you're supposed to get wound up discussing them and people spend their lives wimping out of conflict. Of course the internet changes that in allowing the wimps to vent.

Vote is in. Voted Labour.

Got some Tory stuff through the door last night. I only glanced at it but it contained an absolutely blatant lie, showing the results of the last General Election in the form of a bar chart. It showed Labour winning in 2005 with the Tories close behind and the Lib/Dems others miles behind. Since Labour got about 62% of the vote 5 years ago, the Tories would've needed to get about 55-60% with the others getting about 10%. The Tories actually got about 22% (Lib Dems 3rd with about 17%). Surprised they can get away with that sort of thing. Perhaps they're hoping no one will notice.

Particulary funny when Cameron's made a point of whining about Labours leaflets (suggesting the Tories will drop the winter fuel allowance) in the debates.

Got a National Front candidate in my constituency too. I thought they'd gone out of fashion with luminous socks and sta-pressed pants. Still, presumably it'll mean him and his pal at the BNP will lose their deposits.

Are you talking about your own constiutency or nationally Alex? According to the BBC, the national 2005 vote share was:

 

Labour: 36.1%

Tory: 33.2%

Lib Dem: 22.6%

Others: 8%

You'd have been seething on several different levels

[Craig 6321]

BTW, I'm getting a sinking feeling that we'll see Cameron stood on the steps of no.10 tomorrow morning...

The leaflet was specifically on about the constituency result in 2005, as were the actual figures I mention. I mean, I appreciate there'll be propanganda in these things but it's bit beyond that imo.

Can't remember if it was posted here or not but after the second debate, Sky News showed a bar chart of 'Who'd won'. Cameron's bar was clearly higher than Clegg's, directly contradicting the figures printed just below it. If it's not illegal it should be.

Which consituency was it for? I thought many in the NE had the Tories in 3rd.

Given the shit Labour are in, with the economy etc. and the overwhelming backing by the press of the Tories, it'll be fucking hilarious if he isn't.

As long as the Tories don't have a working majority, any madness can be stopped in its tracks.

 

Parkometer latest +16 win for Tories no majority.
