Cameron new British PM, Brown to quit as Labour leader
Quote:

about time, we never voted for him before, and we didnt vote for him this time, yet he's still there. He's like a barnacle really, impossible to scrape off. But if he had no desire to continue, why didnt he pull out of the election prior to the hung parliament and give his party a better chance?
|
Someone really ought to give that man a hug. The economy wasn't his fault. The war wasn't his fault. people have to stop blaming him. At least now he'll be out of the media spotlight.
On another subject, the Lib Dems seem to be fratenising with the Tories like drunk flirts at a party. Its amusing to see them abandon their ideals in order to get power (then agian the Labour party did that in the 1990s when they decided to leave the working class in the gutter and pursue "Middle England"). |
I agree with both of the above posts. We never voted for Brown, but people do need to cut him some slack (I found the 'bigot' saga fairly amusing when the media were all over it; everyone says things behind someone else's back at some point or another, it was misfortune that his microphone was still switched on).
|
Well done, he was the main problem for Labour. He should leave as soon as possible if he wants his party to have a chance at anything.
Option a) Lib-Dems pact with the Conservatives, get a new electoral system, then leave and get new elections, where Labour can do better without Brown and get enough seats for a Lib-Lab, which actually makes sense as a Government coalition. Option b) Lib-Dems give up and hurry Brown up so they can talk to someone else, get the Lib-Lab coalition and do as in option a). Option c involves not getting a stable coalition but it could end up any way so it's really hard to predict the outcome XD |
If only his dirty party would leave with him.
|
i don't now who brown is, should i care if he steps down or not
|
Well I guess I'll post my views on the thread, since I made it xD
I don't think Gordon was really a bad priminister, it was the party behind him which was. Their education (heck, I know how bad they are, my mum's a english tutor and it's shocking the things the kids don't know), Policing and immigration policies were all terrible, but we never seemed to realise due to Tony Blairs brilliant sales man esque strategy. Then when Tony left, suddenly we had a terrible public speaker, who couldn't make excuses for any of this. Then the economy failing sort of sealed it in the ignorant publics view, Gordon "had" to go. But he did actually have to go in the end, with all of this hung parliment stuff it would have been terrible if he had stayed as long as possible. |
As long as the next Labour leader isn't Alistair Darling then I'm cool with this.
|
I honestly didn't see this coming, I'm surprised. Not that I'm going to miss him...

Poor man, I personally feel sorry for him!
|
I think it's great he's leaving, he's the main problem, But to be honest I never really liked the man he was so smug of him self.
Now, for him to step down as prime minister and mission completed hehe. :D |
Apparently the Lib-Dems are finalising their talks with the Conservatives and have come to no conclusions with Labour. Looks like we'll be have a Lib-Con government with David Cameron as PM.
|
If I had known what an untterly devious b**t**d Nick Clegg was I wouldn't have voted Lib Dem.
|
As we speak, Lib Dems have formed a coalition with the Tories and Gordon Brown has quit as PM.
Yup. He's done it. And Cameron is on his way to see the Queen to take over. Quote:

The problem was, half of his voters voted him to prevent Cameron from becoming PM, the other half voted him to prevent Brown from staying as PM. He couldn't win. He had to be a politician and choose the lesser of two evils. After all (I still have to get proper info), chances are there will be new elections in a year or so. |
Conservatives back in power... Proof that we're that much closer to 2012... XD
|
Gotta give it to him, his final speech was pretty good.
|
It was quite funny; I got home from food shopping and my mother put the news on, and I saw Brown's car on the way to the Queen for his resignation. Fortuitous timing, since I then witnessed the whole shabang.
Poor old Brown looked very tired. So, we have a new PM and a new Government. I hope they manage to sort England out. : ] xX |
Someone should change the title to :
David Cameron is UK's new prime minister http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47827000/jpg/_47827360_jex_690127_de27-1.jpg David Cameron confirmed as new prime minister by the Queen Quote:
I'm fine with this. Good Luck to the Conservatives, you guys have a lot of work getting the Economy back up again~ |
Clegg is going to be Deputy Prime Minister. I wonder how that will work out, since there hadn't been any since 1945 XD

Anyways how long will it be until this coalition collapses? There will be a ton of cuts to manage that deficit in this administration. |
I just don't understand why they had to cut into Eastenders to see Gordon Brown slowly drive over to Buckingham Palace. He resigned, Cameron is the new PM, Clegg is his deputy. Thats all we needed to know.

Who wants to join me livingn on the moon. Far away from tory britian as possible.

What really annoys me is that my country (Scotland) has ONE Tory seat - and we still need to listen to them. |
Quote:
In all seriousness though, if you don't live in Scotland (which I no longer do) it's going to become very expensive to be a student. Or a single parent for that matter. Or a worker in the public sector. Or really anyone who dosn't have chums at Eton. |
Aaaaargh! I'm about to be a student! :(:(
(On a more positive note: my 800th post! :D) |

You live in Scotland. The SNP abolished uni-fees ages ago. The only good thing they've done. |
Quote:
I don;t see why so many of you are raging over the torries, most of you weren't alive last time round, and the ones of us who were are too young to remember it. Give them a God damn chance. seriously. |
A chance to do what maggie thatcher did? Which was bring the entire country to it's knee's lol
Making all these cuts isn't going to bring England out of the recession, it's just going to ruin the education of future generations like my daughter because I can't afford to send her to private school. The tories are too old fasioned, their never going to work in a modern England. Quote:

ohh do you? lol No welcoming the new PM in a kind warm loving way? lol To be honest I don't care what happens ;p |

I found this last night, apparently because of the coalition they are gonna raise VAT to 20%. Seems like an excuse to me, I saw this coming the second they temporarily dropped it to 15% so I'm hardly surprised.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10112936.stm Hopefully this is just as temporary as the decrease was. |
Quote:
The Tories said they were going to scrap all these different taxes to "let the economy grow". Now, they're bumping them up. Just goes to show, never trust a Tory. Also the Lib Dems were going to introduce a "mansion tax" where homeowners pay an additional annual tax of 1% on homes worth at least £2m. However, now they're all pals with the Tories that idea has been scrapped. Just goes to show, never trust a Whig. |

It just goes to show, never trust a politician.

It's got nothing to do with wars, that's just childish.
It's the domestic problems that really matter, and cameron is just going to make more for britain. Quote:

Who thinks that my Ninja/pirate squirrel should run britain, he'd do better that Torries/labour/liberal could ever do.
