Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Joking aside, if things take an even bigger turn for the worse, there could be a government of national unity. The only positive from that is that Vince Cable could become Chancellor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quagmire Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 of course there are other choices, i'm simply asking realistically, who you would prefer as PM - it isn't going to be anyone else... i won't vote for either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbill Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Quagmire, unless you live in either of their constituencies, you won't get the opportunity to vote for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Quagmire, unless you live in either of their constituencies, you won't get the opportunity to vote for them. tbf his question was "who do you hope to be the prime minister after the general election?" not "who would you vote for in a general election?"

i8hibsh Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 David Cameron I watched his speech yesterday live. It blew me away. The closest thing we have had to Mrs Thatcher since she left office. Fantastic politician, nice bloke, he listens and is highly passionate about the union I'm a lifelong Tory, but I had been very worried during the Hague, Ian duncan smith and Michael Howard days He gets my vote He believes that the good should be rewarded and the bad punished He encourages free enterprise, he encourages small business, large business any business. He is all for enpowering the people just like the great lady herself He is not full of BS promises, he is realistic. He's modern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's modern How can he be modern if he is just like Thatcher - a politician from a generation or two ago? And, funnily enough, whose policies we are now actually seeing come to their cataclysmic fruition. Just my ha'penworth though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thatcher was years ahead of her time No she wasn't. She was simply bewitched with Monetarism Tories still stand for the same things they did 100 years ago If that is the case how could Thatcherism be ahead of its time then? Seriously though, the Tory party is nothing like it was 100 years ago (I'd go as far as to say it's nothing like it was 40 years ago) Labour compromised EVERYTHING they stood for to win the 1997 election One out of three i8! Totally agree with you here, except the compromise only showed AFTER they had hoodwinked the nation into voting for them. That said, I see them as the lesser of the two right of centre evils.
