As not everybody lives in the US (shocking I know), I'm wondering what the UK people out there are thinking about our current political future?

Are you going to stick with Gordon Brown and Labour, despite the recent problems, and see if they can deliver over the next term? Or, are you going to jump ship and vote for Cameron's Conservatives?

Personally, I'm still going to vote Labour. I have never voted Conservative, mainly because they simply screw things up (NHS, British Rail...), whilst claiming to make things better. Sure, Labour aren't perfect, but they have made some huge and successful changes.


As a bonus note, who else hates Boris Johnson?

    The funny thing is, that I've heard nothing, not a peep about any UK politics since Tony Blair resigned. I'm so fucking sick of the presidential race, some different completely irrelevant political saga would be welcomed.

      Hah, our politics are hilarious at the moment - an Conservative AM in Wales was just forced to resign after calling Italians racist names, some other Conservative MP just forced a by-election over policies his party already supports....

      Oh, and Labour look like they'll lose the next election, and Boris Johnson is the mayor of London :(

        I miss the days where the headline of the mornings newspaper involves ultra-conservative party leaders hanging themselves accidentally while having a wank. Now that's politics.

    Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

    Boris is awesome on Have I Got News For You, but that's about it..

    I think, rather than any of the options we have at the moment, we should hire that unbelievably weirdly spelt Rice lady.

    She'd be hilarious.

    Either that, or clone Thatcher. Mixed with some kind of bear. That'd be equally awesome.

        I was under the impression that the latter was a Blackadder thing?

        As for the Monster Raving Loony party, they get like three votes an election :p

            When British politics has such wonderments as Ann Widdecombe, Pieman Prescott, Ken Livingston and Gordon Brown - We can hardly claim to be winning the "Avoid the ugly stick" competition :B

              I have no words for that. I can't help but imagine something from, say, 2DTV or something..

    I think Labour need to be kicked out for a bit; whether it's Brown's fault or not, he's in trouble, and I think that Labour need to be out of office to get their act together again.But I don't like the Tories, and the Lib Dems aren't strong enough. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, really.

    Either way, I'm a Lib Dem man. Even if it's a wasted vote.

    Boris Johnson is probably better suited as a court jester than a politician...

    We should do what Dom Jolly did in his early career and form our own party! (He did, it was the teddy bear alliance and they got 200 and something votes!!! For dressing up in bear outfits and demanding action against fleas and such)

    Or i'd go with monster raving looney, execpt they don't have a candidate in my area :(
