It's a shame the Labour party in Britain is so bad at the moment. Australia has a great Labor government, especially in comparison to the Liberals and the John Howard years.
Labour parites become too much like the Conservatives, in fact all of them are getting similar to each other, cept maybe Lib Dems, they're kinda of unheard of now, they jsut sort of appear every so often.
Agreed. It's ironic aswell that both Labour and the Conservatives have became like the Lib dems, both the extreme left and extreme right views have been gradually replaced with a more central out look, traditionally Lib dem territory. That said though, I don't think the Lib dems present them selfs very well, I think they need a charector to do them some good.
Brown has to go. I liked him, I thought he did a great job as chancellor and atleast to begin with, he shrugged off the hassel he got for being given the premiership and got on with it, he was hit with circumstances that I think any leader would of strugled with but that whole 10p thing was just blatently dumb.
In my view it will go to Cameron easily. Cost of living in the UK is rediculas. I moved back to the states and when I introduced myself to my neighbourgh he was in the midst of selling his SUV. ''ahhhhh fuel prices buddy''. I look at the gas stations here and see people worried about $4 a gallon, if it was that price in the UK there would be celebrations the country over (its like $9 over there right?). Particularly in these times where people feel less well off and cost of living rises, they feel taxes hiting them where as before it was just a fact of life. As such I think the tories will swing that crucial middle class back in there favour. Infact I could even see the tories taking the working class. If labour failed them with that 10p debacle, is there anything worse the torries could do to them?
