Yup, I'd agree partially, TB is holding the political centre ground - politically and economically roughly where the country needs to be...

The problem is that he's completely lost the trust of the people of britain due to spin/Iraq/unelected powercrazy officials... etc...

At present the Tory Party is just a joke, that's one of the reasons the turnout for the last election was so low, what they need now is someone to make people sit up and realise that the tories are still alive and haven't all drifted off to sleep in the commons... once that's been set up then they could virtually fight the next election on a 'negative manifesto' - slagging off everything bad about TB's government

Kerr Avon, CK and John Prescott who would be alleged of drinking the most.

Huh? Oh, Charles Kennedy and John Prescott who drinks the most?

I dunno, does John Prescott have time for that much , what with all the ?

I was meaning between the three of you in a run off for PM.

Arrghhh, that's not what you meant! You meant out of the three of us who drinks the most , oh err, carry on...

Imagines Kerr drinking little Willie Hague under the table.

I've heard Ann Widdecombe can pack the booze away like a good 'un. Apparently she's a bit of a go-er after a few hooches.... alledgedly.

The very idea of Widdie as a 'goer' makes me scared to go out at night.

Shes stalks the men during the day too, so there is no rest bite. And she can come on rather strong too

Thanks for that image, I've only just finished my lunch I'll have you know

You ain't seen me, right!

hey Liquidsword sotp trying to scare us all out of this thread

Sorry I seemed to have scared myself too. Ok it was all a big lie.... shes not a go-er, she doesn't drink and she certainly doesnt run around single mens homes at night wearing a phalic device around her waist. Clare short on the other hand........

.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............

On the verge of all hallows eve, I guess Widde is going to be the female tory version of Fester Adams?

I reckon we should get rid of democracy as we know it and replaced it with the leaders of the 2 main partys engaging in the drinking competition in Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost arc. Maybe even have a few creepy nazis hanging around for atmosphere????

liquidsword, you are one warped individual. Congrats

Back to the point, though...

Can anyone suggest a decent alternative to our current political situation, viz. A single, overbearing party in power, a self-destructing primary opposition and a secondary opposition that lacks serious credibility?

Suggestions welcome.

I suggest all power be tranferred to me on a permenant basis. I think Bucks palace would suit me right nice!!

ALL MUST BOW DOWN!!!!

A system of government bases on the principle of strange women lying in ponds distributing swords seems fair to me
