Gordon Brown

A bit tedious of certain media anaylists to say this victory doesn't really mean anything with regards to an election in two years time, again treating the public like imbeciles, in thinking in two years time under another two years of labour they might just switch back to labour. It's feesible, but not realsitic. As someone active in politics albeit at a low level I know the score, I would just like these anaylists to tell everyone who their kidding, certainly not me and certainly not 99.9% of the public.

Anyway nothing to be bitter about, there was a really high turnout and people's enthusiasm for politics is coming back, i'm sure uncle Gordon would see the bigger picture and be happy about that.

Euro, has it never occoured to you that the voters of N&C were actually intensively exposed to the candidates, and thought Timpson was the best of them?

No. What did occur to me was that as a Railway man i have attended various courses and such at Crewe over the years and i can tell you that it is full of mouth breathers.
 
Dear Gordon,

When the only way you can get a bill through the Commons is by relying on Ian Paisley and the DUP, UKIP and Anne Widdecombe, it's time to take a long look at yourself. And when the Tory's shadow Home Secretary actually resigns his seat on the principle of civil liberties, you know you've fucked up.

Regards, etc.
 
This is not a first. Labour had Ulster support in the past when there were "hung" parliaments
 
Recent support for UK Govts from Ulster were SDLP/Labour in the late 70's and crucially from the UUP to Majors Govt in the mid ninties. The latter arrangement allowed the Unionists to get decommissioning on the settlement agenda and arguably postponed the final settlement by about 7 years.

I would have held my nose too a la Gareth ref the DUP, until you remember that Wee Martin had no problem being his chuckle brother, so why should Gordon?
