The first election debate took place on Thursday night, I have still yet to watch it but I hear on good authority that Nick Clegg is widely seen as the ‘winner’ of the first debate. This has clearly been reflected in recent opinion polls where much to my delight the Lib Dems have actually OVERTOOK Lying Labour.
So now in typical Labour style and proving how desperate Brown is he is sucking up to the Lib Dems. Because they have had a massive poll boost Brown the Clown has suddenly decided Labour and the Lib Dems are very similar something he has hotly denied on other occasions. Funny how he keeps changing his mind isn’t it like when he went around with his childish class war and then when that backfired suddenly decided ‘I am proud to be middle class’, what a joke.
I am not typically a Liberal Democrat supporter, too left-wing/liberal for me on most issues but they do have some very good policies on other areas like the abolition of unfair tuition fees for one which has made the Lib Dems very popular with students.
But Brown is yet again banging on about ‘Tory cuts’, why can he and Labour supporters not get it into their heads you can’t keep spending when the piggy bank is empty. Labour supporters/MPs are like children sometimes they think money grows on trees and we have a limitless supply. We need cuts to stabilise the economy and reduce this ridiculous deficit which has more than doubled under Labour.
He is also banging on about VAT claiming Labour will not increase, do I believe it, do I hell. They have been telling such lies since 1997 and despite all the broken/empty promises gullible people keep on backing them.
This country and Blackpool does not need 5 more miserable years of Labour lies, spin, reckless squandering and empty promises. We need change, I am not telling people who can bring about change but it certainly isn’t Liebour. If you care about this country and Blackpool then vote for anyone but Labour.
LABOUR OUT 2010!!!!!!!!!!

Brown wins because unlike the Tories and Liberal Democrats he hasnt talked about the cuts hes going to make. He’ll make them, of course, but because he’s not talked about it, people infer that he wont be making them.
They will be proven wrong!

Well said Harold and Phil, spot on Phil, Brown keeps tip-toeing around cuts as dishonestly as always and Labour supporters are gullible enough to believe him.I also agree Harold those are Liebour’s legacy from 1997. But because many Labour supporters don’t have a mind of their own they take in whatever propaganda Brown feeds them. I wholly accept whoever the next Government/coalition Government is there will have to be tough decisions and cuts and I support that because our finances are in a dire state because of reckless squandering. But what I appreciate the most especially when politics has been so recently tainted by the expenses scandal is honesty something Liebour (hence the name) know nothing about. I respect Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg for having the balls and the honesty to be truthful, not going around making ridiculous promises we know won’t be kept. Brown is saying now ‘VAT will not go up’ how many times have I heard that before on other ‘pledges’? I believe within weeks of regaining power Brown would suddenly decide VAT has to go up. LIEBOUR OUT 2010!!!!

It is interesting what one debate has done here Clegg proved he can more then hold his own and has viable polices beyond the cons and labs. It is also interesting viewing the bounce he got and where they came from. Polls are somewhat different but it would appear that about 5 points left the labs to go to the lds but something like 13 points left the cons. However I was listening to the bbc 24hr news this morning and the cons where on saying what a successes Dave had on the debate and after it the polls showed most people wanted him to be PM I don’t know what polls he was reading but the ones that where based on the viewing public of the debate pushed Dave down to third.

The politicians think more about winning the race to number 10 than about the electorate.
Frank Field a former Labour Minister has broken rank and accused Gordon Brown of ‘Alice in Wonderland politics’ he has stated that Britain is facing destruction by an economic catastrophe in the summer,I have to agree with his comments,because i believe what we are experiencing at the present is the lull before the storm,that’s what happens when you over extend yourself as we have done as a country and are unable to repay your debt, you either increase taxation or make extreme cuts in expenditure.None of the parties are proposing the real cuts that are needed.

I disagree. I think they are all proposing the cuts, but being honest about the magnitude of these cuts is not going to be a vote winner for anyone which is why we’re not hearing too much about it.
I mean, Gordon Brown has not really talked about any public sector cuts, but he has to make them. Simple as that. And he will, but whilst he’s not talking about that people may well perceive Labour to be the party that will not make cuts.
Vince Cable did talk about savage cuts with no specifics at all, and it was leaked that Cameron is planning to axe up to 40,000 jobs from the public sector not via a direct cut but by not filling job vacancies. That’s only a 0.6% cut in public sector jobs though and is not going to save us from the impending credit rating downgrade and resulting doom of skyrocketing interest rates.

And my point is that whilst publicly they are not advertising them, they will *have* to make the cuts, else we’re all fucked, to put it bluntly.

Frank Field also warned against immigration,again they ignored him.

Worryingly, it’s quite possible that Labour could finish third in the populkar vote and still end up as the largerst party – time to get rid of this bent and twisted, new-feudal electoral system once and for all. Voting Lib Dem is the only way to achieve this.

What would the Liberal Democrats do?
Wasn’t Gordon musing about PR a couple of months ago? I think the only one of the big three that is committed to keeping first past the post is Cameron, because he believes its the only way to vote a government out if they’re no good.
I like PR because no vote is wasted, but I also agree with Cameron.

Gordon was whimpering about the alternative vote, a system almost as bad as first past the post in that it is not proportional and elects the least-unpopular candidate in marginal seats, while leaving the safe seats much as they are.
a Lib Dem government would introduce the single transferable vote, on the lines used succesfully in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and in many other countries.
The idea that you can vote an unpopular government out using FPTP is false – a FPTP system left Labour in power and able to do whatever it wanted despite something like 64 per cent of the population actively voting against it at the 2005 election. Then there are the two elections since the second world war when a party has formed a government despite receiving fewer votes than its chief rival – particularly 1951, when Labour polled just a shade under 50 per cent and still ended up in opposition. Then, of course, there’s George Bush…
Under a proper STV system politicians must compete not only with other parties but also candidates from their own party to win votes. No more safe seats. And that, for me, is the ultimate clincher

Don’t fall for the same trick,as 1997 as we all did with Tony Blair for his slick talking, yes Nick Clegg came across as the best of the candidates but none of them are coming clean with the electorate,tough decisions are needed now.
All parties have manifestos and agendas,the manifesto is what they present to the electorate in the run up to the vote at the ballot box,the agenda is what is implement after the election who ever wins,in other words the manifesto is a way of getting your vote and the agenda is what you end up with.
