well what is your opinion on this subject?

Posted by Junglist (Member # 402) on :

Considering he is not only a politician, but Prime Minister of Britain and I am a Blairite (of sorts) I think yes … obvious really … Could you elaborate on what you mean a little more?

lol now you know how i feel, I say things and people take it different..

anyways..I voted yes....so like Junglist said could you elaborate more on that one plz?

hes supposedly a politician but ive yet to see him engaging in politics, he seems more of s guy who goes on holiday a lot and pretends to be an ambassador, and leaves a lot of important political things to totally inept Labour Members such as Prescott

OMG man ... I soooo disagree ... Blair is the best leader we have had in a long time. Especially for the times we are going through. Blair does an absolute shit load, it is only because he is not in the press that we do not here about anything.

'Blair does some boring parliamentary stuff' is not a good headliner, if you have SKY do you never see the PM’s question time etc? A lot of his subordinates are not inept at all, Prescott is a dick, but he is actually a good politician.. But it is not as though Blair makes all the decisions, this is why we have ministers etc.

Everyone has forgotten what Britain was like last time the Tories were in power. I am a Blairite, I agree with our tax rates … Blair is very involved, I mean who do you propose … Hauge was shite and had to go, replaced by Duncan Smith, who is possibly the worst Tory leader in a long time, who will loose the conservatives the next general election … and that Ginger twat who is head of the Tories, he is that involved I cant even remember his name. Hopefully Liberal Democrats will win more seats than Conservative and be in opposition to Labour. That would be a great day for British politics!!

oh yes they are...!
seriously i do watch BBC's question time which basically has a different subordinate nearly eevry week, and they get caught out on so many things it makes you appreciate how truely useless they are, maybe the torys just need a better leader but the tory politicians must be good to corner those outstandingly good labour politicians if they are so honest and good at thier job, the debate on top up fees on question time will remain in my head forever

Posted by Junglist (Member # 402) on :

Yeah, the one thing that would sway my vote to Lib Dem is the fee's thing ... they introduced these just as I started university ... leaving me with about £11,000 personal debts for when I leave Uni ...

The thing is all politicians are inept useless twats, its just that some do it differently than others. You are never going to be able to have a government that will be able to please every single element of the populous, and still keep such a small island as ours not only rich but a key play on the international stage.

Its because of this inherent ineptitude of all governments and the memory of the blunders of conservative rule that I remain firmly a Blairite ...
