Is labour and Gorden Brown fit to lead the country?

Discuss

I don't think so but who can?

Good point, i would prefer to see the lib dems in. But would settle with the Tories (which would no doubt upset the scots and give the SNP more support)

Labour is a right mess right now. Times are very hard though but then again i dont think any other party is going to do much better.

Brown is fit to run the country. Blair made a mess and Brown is receiving the blame for it.

Blair knew what was coming so got out why he could!

Why should a alledged bully be allowed to run this country? It was one of the last countries to come out of the recession and considering we are a rich country, its rather worrying to say the least.

Mind you, the tories are not that great either, no matter what they say!

aye , a win for the tories in may will certainly see the SNP getting more support up here. I think there's a good possibitly of a "hung" parliment in may (no overall majority) seeing as the tories will dominate southern england and labour will still get many votes up here.

Intresting times ahead by the looks of current things

When's the next election for prime minister?

EDIT: Just checked says 3rd of June 2010.

first thursday in may this year WM

You believe the stories?

Well we know he was temper problems, but we also know there's a a few who would like to get rid of him. Perhaps a misunderstanding between those concerned?

Well latest economy figures suggest it has grown a bit more than the meagre figures predicted last time so maybe a tiny bit of good news.

The bullying thing is a sham. It comes it just weeks before the election..

I still think its odds on for the Tories to win. Its how much by? A hung parliament possible?

Hmm, no easy answers here. Of the three realistic possibilities:
-Labour hold - just what do they think they are doing with our money? The poor wallet's already sitting on the floor in the corner with a straight jacket on rocking back and forth...
-Hung parliament - the uncertainty and loss of global financial confidence in the UK this would create would bring a high risk of damage to our (fragile) economy.
-Tory win - having experienced Conservative financial incompetence at the local government level this last year I'm inclined to believe that a Tory win would pose an extreme economic risk and all the other things that would follow.

So, I'm not convinced that Labour is fit but I'm not seeing a viable alternative at this time.

Thanks for your view magic.

For some reason there's quite a few green supporters at my 6th form. I would like to see the Lib Dems in. Vince Cable is brilliant and is far better than the Tories and labour chancellors. Overall i would settle for the Tories. But they don't totally convince me. They certainly don't convince my village

Not surprising though is it?

tbh i wouldnt mind the lib dems winning in may , but itll be a close one

Which party is expected to take over your area?

Its conservative for here at the moment.

Labour will never lose my area, a very, very safe seat

SNP, my former teacher.

Toss up between the SNP and Labour here , but mind you our Labour MP at the moment is getting a grilling about her expenses , so possible SNP?

I like the Labour candidates round here tbh, one of them is even very high up to do with Transport i think and was on the BBC news during the snow problems.

George Osbourne was also in our area this week and David Cameron last week or the week before too.

Our area has been seen as a key area of competition between Labour and Conservative.

I think in the current climate an independent Scotland is least on peoples minds! Will be interesting to see how much support they get after the financial crisis.
