Alright, let's see who's buying drinks next election. Assuming they haven't turned the country into a half-drowned riot-riddled wasteland by then.

Registered 10 years agoYou always get two terms. It's the whole "Kruschev's letter" thing. You get to blame the last lot first time, then you get a second go and you've got nobody left to blame.
On a similar note, ever considered why the word "revolution" is applied to an overthrowing of government? It's interesting that word was chosen. Almost has a built-in cynicism. -

One term for these guys. One. They're going down.-- boobs do nothing for me, I want moustaches and chest hair.

Registered 3 years agoWho was the last one-term government over here?
This is really steering a bit OT, but while we're talking about one-term governments, no party in the US has ever got a second term with the kind of unemployment figures Obama has right now. Just to put The Fear into you all, you know. -

Registered 7 years agoBoris will never get a chance at PM. His too progressive, the back benchers be up in arms every 5 minutes. However he has got a reputation of being quite shrewd and ruthless in the buisness room side of things. I guess there would be others that could fit into his cabinet though, zac goldsmith, kenneth clarke, perhaps david davis.
Actually all tories i quite like. And i don't really like tories.PSN - Cloudsheaven

Registered 10 years agoThe reason the Tories are likely to get in next time is because Labour have managed to find someone so bereft of ideas, charisma and impact. Staggering. Wouldn't surprise me if the Tories got in on a minority next time. -

I've been keeping up with UK Politics terribly recently, but on the charisma front I definitely agree about Milliband. It might be unfortunate that charisma is so immensely important these days in politics, but it's simply the way it is. So to choose someone like Milliband is either stupidity or knowingly suicide.

Registered 10 years agoHe's just so utterly weak and unbelievable. Anyone else would be having a field day but he manages to just about shade PMQs, and that's being generous. -

Registered 3 years agoAdmittedly I haven't seen PMQs in a while, but I usually thought Miliband was quite good. Cameron's all bluster and gets wound up too easily. -

Registered 4 years agoI suspect they picked Ed over David because they don't want to win the next election. With the economy in its current state, who would want to be responsible for it?Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

my thoughts exactly. Let Ed carry the can while the economy's down the shitter and then big brother can step in to sweep up the glory at the last minute.

No one is interested, but if you are, in article on the current development of the Olympic Park can be found here
Some points on the stadium (didn't know they were planning to build seating, probably retractable, over the track). -
