I agree

He did well when other countries went bankrupt

It was banks in USA caused the problems not him

But I think Nick Clegg will temper the tories from becoming too right wing, one hopes anyways

It was inevitable, Clegg wouldn't form an alliance with Labour all the time Brown was leader. The root and branch of the party never wanted Brown in the first place, the reformers in the party will probably want one of the Milliband brothers but the clever money will be on Alan Johnson.

And Brown was in all probability the best Chancellor this country has seen since the second world war, he was never going to b able carry that on to the Premiership which is why most Labour party members never wanted him as leader.

The early years of the Blair government saw record growth in the UK economy, not even Tories can argue that fact.

Even the most partizan Tory couldn't pick holes in the British finances between 1997 and 2001, it was why Blair was re-elected.

Doubt it, Ed Balls is a close ally of Brown and not over popular....I think personally it will be either of the Milibands or Johnson, my preference would be Johnson.

I find that Alistair Darling inspires confidence just litsening to him speak. I think he's a fine Chancellor.

I will be very annoyed if Labour replaces their Leader, and elect a new Prime Minister by default, and then pursue a deal with the LibDems. If Clegg does a deal with Labour it will prove that all he said in the debates was nothing but soundbites and shows him as a man in pursuit of power above all else.

I most certainly do not want a SECOND Prime Minister that hasn't faced the electorate.

I hope Cameron decides to force a Conservative minority government and freeze Clegg out completely although it will mean another election in August in all probability.

Sorry Wishy but we don't have a Presidency election in the UK we have a Parliamentary Party election system.

You don't vote for an individual leader you vote for your local MP's who represent their party.

I know that doesn't sit well with many, but it's a fact about the political system we have in this country.

And that is why we are all fucked.

Once elected, your MP represents all constituents of whatever colour, not their party, pocket or career.

Brown didn't sit well with many of Labour's foot soldier's, his departure could well be a blessing in disguise, it's probably the best decision for the Labour party, it's probably the worst decision ever for Camera On and his cronies, bearing in mind, Camera On didn't receive a mandate from the Country last Thursday

So why did we have to sit through three Prime Ministerial debates then?

I think you'll find that the majority of the electorate voted for Brown, Cameron or Clegg in accordance with however their party loyalties lie. Many people could not even name the person on the ballot paper on which they placed their cross. You are correct in saying that we do not have a presidential election system in the UK, but it isn't far off it.

No sooner had he been voted out than he stated that he would stay on as 1st minister. How the hell does that work?

Using that argument you are saying that when Blair won by a landslide in 1997 with only 41% of the total votes cast, that 59% of the electorate didn't want him as Prime Minister, and thus he had no mandate. You can't have it both ways, either a party wins or it doesn't, and in our system of election it is the party with the most seats - and in 2010 it is the Conservative Party.

Sorry Wishy but wrong again, in our system it isn't the party with the most votes....it's the party that wins a majority of seats in he house....and as we know the Tories didn't.

I have said it before (last Friday), after Thirteen years of a Labour government...MP's expenses...Iraq War...Massive UK defecit...The most unpopular Prime Minister for over 60 years...Mass Immigration....

Cameron must wonder with all this ammunition why the hell he never got the majority of seats he needed, you could have put Basil Brush up against Brown and he would have won a majority.

Sorry but the one thing that did come out of last weeks election was that after all these years there are a hell of a lot of British people who still haven't forgotten what the Tories did to this country.

You've misread me Jane, I was arguing against _i 1 get 1 free's post that because Cameron didn't get 51% of the votes he doesn't have a mandate, and by that same argument, neither did Blair.

I also said at the end of my post that the party with the most seats wins.

"Sorry but the one thing that did come out of last weeks election was that after all these years there are a hell of a lot of British people who still haven't forgotten what the Tories did to this country."

And that's probably why Cameron fell just short of an overall majority. Clearly he's won over some of those sceptical voters who remember the Thatcher years as painful ones but he just didn't quite manage to convert enough of them.

Sorry, misunderstood you...

Cameron must be getting it in the neck by the Tory old school, they are so anti PR as it could well mean it will see the Conservatives having to rebuild the party for it ever to work for them and see them in power again.

Clegg is under tremendous pressure from his own party not to accept anything less than the promise of a PR referendum in the Queens speech, I just can't see Cameron being allowed to offer this up.

Did notice today that all this indecision hasn't affected the stock markets as much as the Tory press reckoned it would....bank shares up 10% today.

wow... where do i start... you lot all did without me...

So GB goes... great tactical step to allow Clegg and the Lib Dems to talk to labout, to spook the Tories into giving a referendum on AV.... it's not a bad start....

with regards to the numbers lets get a few things correct..

as wishy rightly said we are not talking about 326 but 323..... 4 sinn fein mp, speaker and 2 dept speakers...

Lib Dems plus labour would be 315.... add to that probably the Green mp, the Alliance MP in NI who is alligned to the Lib Dems.... and the Ind unionist MP who sides with labour on most issues.....

so that leaves us at 318.....

SDLP vote with Labour on most things... they have 4 which takes is to 322... but would they want to rely on that support?

okay... if we look at the conservatives... 308... possibly add the DUP's 8 (remember cameron rode the wrong unionist horse in NI and the DUP might be angry about that!) which leaves them at 316.....

which leaves the SNP and Plaid in Wales....

would either really side with the tories on anything, knowing that if they didn't it would mean the tories then go in and slash public sector job which would hit scotland, northern ireland and wales the hardest.....

not happening.... 318-320 is probably enough if SNP and Plaid abstain on most issues......

Spot on Fabio.....the Tories have argued for years against less government interference in business, they voted against the Bank of England being made independent after all.

They are the self proclaimed party of business, they wouldn't have acted to reign in the banks if they were in power from 2005.

They threw their toys out of the pram over the Lloyds Names debacle, they insisted that the Blair government prop up the Lloyds members with public money...so in my opinion they would NEVER have acted against the banks taking unneccesary risks as they don't believe in goverment interference in business.

I give Labour's "Technicolour Dreamcoat Coalition" exactly 1 month, and then when the SNP and Plaid Cymru realise they've been well and truly butt-fucked by Darling and his cuts, we'll be heading for another election, cos that's exactly what Cameron will call for the moment he sniffs dissention in this ridiculous alliance and tables a motion of no confidence.

Whoever stuffs it up under a coalition government will be punished severely at the next election sometime between August/October, or early next year.

Couple that with the fact that we'll have to suffer a 2nd PM imposed upon us unelected and it's not difficult to see a red mist descending over the electorate.

This all smacks of Labour's desperate attempt to keep power and although they've all said they want the best deal to provide stability in today's economic environment, the reality seems to be Clegg pursuing the most unstable govt out of all the options available to him at this moment in time.

You can't change the rules AFTER an election and say "we have a mandate because adding us together we now have more % of votes than the Tories." - those sorts of alliances have to be declared before people are asked to vote!

Are you just making this rubbish up to prop up your warped version of events?

Brown ADMITTED on television that he didn't reign in the banks when he should have. If Brown knew in 97 that we were heading for trouble then it should have been first and foremost in his mind to prevent that - and who was in a better postion than he - as Chancellor and then as PM - to do exactly that. He didn't. He admitted it.

In Germany the government coalitions change quite a lot.

And again....we DO NOT elect a party leader in a general election, until such a time we have a Presidential system....which will be NEVER all the time we have a Monarchy, then we will always continue to vote for individual MP's who represent their parties.

Just to go off kilter slightly.

Anyone notice that mighty Germany's Merkel got a good stuffing in NRW?

A region of 18m people with several cities said to be on the brink of bankruptcy, yet can find billions to delay Greece's problems?

The common denominator in all of this?

Politicians desire to spend money, big money, they havent got nor can get.

I would like to see Mandelson or Prescott try for leadership just for the sheer comical value of what the press would say

I thought Mandelson was the de-facto leader? He seemed to have a lot of say on whether they would keep Brown or not.

I agree, Brown should have been bold, he had the majority to get through what he wanted to in the House and he should have been gutsy enough to act earlier.

There was a danger that banks would have pulled their business out of London, but Brown should have pulled the EU together on this....Blair would have, and that was the difference between the Two.

"wow... where do i start... you lot all did without me...

So GB goes... great tactical step to allow Clegg and the Lib Dems to talk to labout, to spook the Tories into giving a referendum on AV.... it's not a bad start....

with regards to the numbers lets get a few things correct..

as wishy rightly said we are not talking about 326 but 323..... 4 sinn fein mp, speaker and 2 dept speakers...

Lib Dems plus labour would be 315.... add to that probably the Green mp, the Alliance MP in NI who is alligned to the Lib Dems.... and the Ind unionist MP who sides with labour on most issues.....

so that leaves us at 318.....

SDLP vote with Labour on most things... they have 4 which takes is to 322... but would they want to rely on that support?

okay... if we look at the conservatives... 308... possibly add the DUP's 8 (remember cameron rode the wrong unionist horse in NI and the DUP might be angry about that!) which leaves them at 316.....

which leaves the SNP and Plaid in Wales....

not happening.... 318-320 is probably enough if SNP and Plaid abstain on most issues......

This is the party make-up in the House of Commons :

Conservative 305

Labour 258

Liberal Democrat 57

Democratic Unionist 8

Scottish National 6

Sinn Fein 5

Plaid Cymru 3

Social Democratic & Labour 3

Alliance 1

Green 1

Independent 1

Speaker seeking re-election 1

Vacant seat (Thirsk & Malton) 1

Still anyone's game

I realise this is getting too long to quote, but it raises many points:

Which parties are most similar to which? Can/will work well together? Is PR a good idea (personally I think it is the only fair system but when asked by my daughter how it would work, ie, who would be our MP, would they understand local issues, couldn't answer)? I've lived under many governments in many areas of the UK and it was important to me to know who to approach if I had a real problem. Only had to do it twice, problem solved under my Milton Keynes NE Labour MP, ignored under my Tory Monmouthshire one!

I agree Jane, we've a coalition in our Welsh Assembly that works well. *** I'd also like to empasise that we vote for a political party and not our Prime Minister. *** The Labour party vote for their leader, the Conservative party vote for their leader etc etc etc. Then the party that gains the majority in a general election get to form a government if Queenie agrees.

If the UK was to enter into the PR voting scheme it would in all likelyhood be mixed-member proportional voting, what you would be required to do is mark Two boxes on a ballot paper, one for the constituency representative and one for a party.

This is the German system and the favoured system of the Lib Dems.

There would probably be 501 constituency representative seats in the House of Commons.

Listening to Hague today, it seems that the Liberals have been asking for an Alternative Voting system, which the Tories have agreed to hold a referendum on.

AV is very much like First Past The Post in so much as that more than 50% is required for an MP to be elected. You mark your ballot paper 1, 2, 3, 4 in order of preference of who you would prefer to be elected. If nobody gets a clear majority then the 2nd choices of the candidate who came last is counted until a winner with 51% emerges.

So for example:

1. Tory

2. Labour

3. Liberals

4. UKIP

Let's say that is results as follows:

From an electorate of 1,000

(501 needed to win)

1. Tory - 300

2. Labour - 300

3. Liberals - 250

4. UKIP - 150

No clear winner, correct?

We then look at the 2nd choices of the ballot papers that had UKIP as first choice.

The votes for 2nd place are redistributed amongst the remaining three candidates until a clear winner emerges. So, for example:

2nd Choice from 150 UKIP votes:

1. Tory - 80 (380)

2. Labour - 50 (250)

3. Liberals - 20 (270)

Still no clear winner...

3rd Choice from 150 UKIP votes:

1. Tory - 70 (450)

2. Labour - 60 (310)

3. Liberals - 20 (300)

Still no clear winner, so the Liberal candidate is eliminated...

2nd Choice from 250 Liberal votes, but not inc UKIP:

1. Tory - 80 (530)

2. Labour - 160 (470)

Tory candidate elected. Phew!

15% for the 1st child, rising by 5% for every subsequent child by the same mother to a max of (not sure tbh) 30%.

But my ex - 700-800k mortgage-free house in Bucks he now rattles around in alone, early retirement pension of 40k, left 1/2 mil by his mum.

His eldest daughter lived with him, his eldest son with ex-wife, our 2 with me. So the CSA admitted that the calculation was impossible, invited me to take it to the Higher Courts if

I could possibly find a lawyer who could overcome the complexities their own Tribunal couldn't, apologised to me and wished me luck! I gave up, he pays almost nothing! Fair?? CSA was and is a joke, to this day they say "If he pays voluntarily, we can't get him"! Another little clause dreamt up by the Tories when they set it up!

Still, do my kids admire him, or prefer not to visit the twisted Tory old twat??!! Bitter, me?? lol

Another simple statement: Brown is a good man in my opinion, did not mislead and did not bully. Hugely respected on the world stage, a socialist through and through and although he may have had to view things from different perspectives from time to time, always said it as he saw it.

He didn't benefit from Westminster or Eton public schools, his dad a Church of Scotland vicar who made Gordon and his brother be nice to the poor kids that came into his home, share their time and toys.

A man with humanity and by his speech tonight, clearly humility. I think he did what he thought was right for the country tonight. I'm not sure that we'll find in the next year that was quite right; hope you like rollercoasters cos I think we're headed for the double dip; the reason we're not in the Euro-boat is that Gordon was respected for being a man of steel, with a track record, who told the rest of the world what to do to avoid sinking!

Still, got my snorkel, fins and polling card for autumn!

Funny isn't it?......Just because some members shag anything that walks they attack another member who they deem not be a 'true swinger'.

Darling stick to your scruples and meet who YOU want and put verifications up when YOU want.

i really couldnt give a shit!!

the verification arguement is an age old one and the last 2 meets we not verified each other but if someone wants to make accusations and attempt to start a witch hunt thats up to them i would rather be select than shag anythin just to prove a point! x

I had a meet last Thursday night (not with Nick Clegg) and haven't exchanged verifications, you are right it means nothing.

Am meeting him again this coming weekend, just don't feel the need to add verifications for every time I meet someone.....it's not a sodding scoreboard!

I have read with interest the threads on the country's political position at the moment.

I have chosen not to post as I feel I know too little about politics however I have enjoyed the mature debate and insights it has given me.

Until now, when I see an embittered excuse to draw attention to themself by attacking another member. I may be ignorant of political knowledge, you on the other hand sir are just plain ignorant.

Msnwty, I have no doubt you are who you say you are. xxxxx

On with the original discussion, to those that see Blair as a phoney...

National Minimum Wage

Minimum Income guarantee for old folk

Child Tax Credits

Working Family Tax Credits

Peace in Northern Ireland

Record Fiscal Growth 1997-2004

Sexual Discrimination Act

Record low interest rates 1997-2004

Record low inflation rates 1997-2005

There is plenty more to prove that Blair was anything but a phoney.

It seems wierd looking back to past elections and it pretty much a done deal by 3am on the morning after it. I think what we have now is going to happen every time we have a Gen. Election but I hope they have the common sense to discuss who will deal with who before it ever gets to that stage.

"This isn't about Tory MPs warning of financial disaster, it's about YOUR claim that Brown DID - and you haven't posted anything to back up that claim.

I challenge you now, as you weren't happy with my google results - put up or shut up."

it depends on what you type in, the information you get back.thats why i dont google.i rely on information i pick up, actually following politics,all the time.unlike yourself,you seem to watch a couple of programmes,pre election,and all of a sudden your the expert.you google,google,google,untill you find the outcome,you are looking for.like a child in the sweety jar.

one of the first speeches. gordon brown ever made as chancellor.he spoke of his fears over, banking regulation,and globalisation.his greatest fault was,no one would listen.in the world market,your either in or out.i will say it again,a lose, lose, situation.

having google at your fingertips,is pointless.if you do not angage your brain,whilst using it.try it the next time.

Well it's irrelevant now isn't it. Gordy the Gaffe has GONE and Cameron is Prime Minister. And I'm a very happy person. Good day to you.

With you there sweetie! I have cried tonight, but to see and hear Gordon giving up the poisoned chalice, he did not look an unhappy man. I expect the economy to now be sunk by the new European, short-lived strength and the fact that the counter-selling by US led banks has not finished yet, Goldman Saachs is the tip of the iceberg! And guess what, Camerons wife is banking stock!

Even George Dubya said Brown saved the world banking system 18 months ago. Thanks ya get?? lol Luck all!

You can hardly blame Cameron for that, it's been ongoing for months. I don't blame Gordy for it either. It's a dispute between BA and their employees, but it's bloody typical of a militant union with a point to prove.

Well BA have already taken away the age old perk of cabin crew getting a certain amount of free flights each year.

This perk goes back to the birth of the airline, it would seem that rather than avoiding industrial action BA bosses have sensed an impending Tory government and have decided to make this the first test of the Tories taking on the unions again.

So that's British Airways to go on my 'don't touch with a bargepole list', The Sun newspaper has been on there since 1986. along with many other bits and bobs.
