(Best poll I could find)

Basically the question is, not who do you support but who do you think will win the next General Election which has to be held at the latest; in 2010. This is not a question of who you support/want to win - but who you think will win.

Personally I think the Conservatives and I can't wait until the curtain finally falls on this failure of a government, like all Labour Governments.

Labour.

if gordon gets us out of this economic meltdown then the polls will turn and labour will be leading the way

Doubt it, after all he was the one who sold most of our gold in 1997 for cheap prices, who has put the state in debt and is continuing to do so. I never worked out why Labour managed to win in 2005 either, especially after the disgrace of the Iraq War.

I just hope for the countries sake we get this government out and get a Conservative government in who will hopefully (like they did in 1979) come in fix the country again.

Its obvious people are looking at Brown, what he's done, shaking their head and turning to Cameron.

In the Daily Mail, they said that Cameron was a "prime minister in waiting"

So I'm betting Conservatives will get to power.

You're right but sadly this isn't common knowledge, if all electorates thought like us and knew this then I'd be 100% sure that Labour wouldn't win :P

The reason Labour won the 2005 election was because Michael Howard spent too long in his campaign criticising and attacking Labour continually rather than actually promoting his policies. I worry that this might happen again as David Cameron has showed that he's very good at debating with the PM during PM Questions but lets hope he makes some decent policies, doesn't get scared away from topics such as the EU and immigration and most importantly, makes us aware of his parties policies.

And two other reasons they won the election were the Tories were no better as they too supported the war in Iraq but the main thing is The Sun won the election for Labour. People don't just read the news in this country, they believe it and follow it. The Sun (and The Times and presumably more papers) encouraged people to vote Labour in the elections and gave biased news in the run-up to the general elections therefore 'swaying' their readers.

The Sun, The Times and Sky are all part of Rupert Murdoch's media enterprise and basically Tony Blair favoured Sky in some of his decisions and in return, the media group favoured Labour during the General Election. An example of this was the government giving the contract to watch Cricket on TV to Sky Sports.

The media dictates Politics in this country therefore I'm not sure on who will win the next election and although everyone's saying Gordon Brown is shocking I wouldn't rule him out at all.

I wouldn't mind a new Prime Minister, but seriously, Cameron?
The guy who needs a trike to get into work and needs his MP's to tie his laces?
That Cameron? :lol:

Conservatives need to get in to power, get labour out and fix up the country.

I thought Michael Howards campaign was smoothly run, after all he did increase the Conservatives popularity and number of seats considerably and did increase number of votes for Conservatives which nearly matched up to Labour in polls. Yes your right though, Labour are excellent spin doctors the way they operate.

Tories were no better, but then again Labour did provide the dodgy dossier which said Saddam Hussein could launch a nuclear attack within 45 minutes; which was an utter lie. As for the newspapers your right again, and especially the BBC I thought were biased in the 2005 General Election towards Labour, after all they are a left-wing leaning organisation and Labour being in power is better than anyone who has anything to do with their ex-enemy, Margaret Thatcher.

He could win sure, but I think if he does I will be so amazed at how anyone can vote these people in again after 11 years of lies, red tape, debt, war and absurd tax. I just want it to end.

Couldn't of put it better myself, yet again the Conservatives will have to pick up and repair the broken mess a Labour government has created.

EDIT: In reply to Ardemax, is that another attempt by a Labour supporter to try pass the Conservatives off as toffs? - maybe thats why John Prescott had two jaguars, really working class of him wasn't it?
