I'd put more faith in him than the man who sold 60% of our gold reserves when gold prices were at a 20 year low, not to mention the fact he told international markets when he was selling the gold, causing gold prices to plummit before he even sold.

Afterall, who was it in the 1980's who had to correct and save the United Kingdoms economy after years of post-war neglect and the terrible winter of discontent and mis-management of the economy by the Labour government which led to us having to go capin-hand to the IMF.

It was a Margaret Thatcher who saved us, a conservative.

I think (and hope) that the Conservatives will win the next general election.

Conservatives will likely get it because despite most of us only having real memory of a Labour reign, they are the predominant party of Britain and Labour aren't entirely popular at the moment. That said, I don't think it'll make any difference as currently Conservatives aren't very conservative and Labour aren't anywhere near as socialist as they once were - both are far more central and frankly I don't expect too much of a change whoever wins.

I agree they are too similar now, but I do think the major difference between Labours socialist stance and a Conservative stance will be government red tape. I think with a Conservative government the erosion of our freedoms and rights will pause, until ultimatley another Labour government gains power again and sets up new databases/bureaucratic laws.

Tories blates. Who would vote for the gelatinous blob we call Prime Minster? The man didn't even win an election...

Also, the government does **** all, it's the civil services that run this country

I looked on the web about how Gordon Brown being the choice of Prime Minister, looks like Tony Blair just left everyone else a month to decide who would be the PM, I think they all pointed at Brown just because he was there.

A couple of months ago, Brown was in talks about holding an early election and refused to do it "because it's pointless", David Cameron replied "he's the only prime minister to ever call off an election because he was afraid he would win it...".

I lol'd.

We'll be out of this "recession" by next year. Hell, what recession? Sure a few shops closed and quite a few people lost jobs but it's no great depression... Things are already beginnign to pick up again

[Ardemax]

how could he get us out of an economic meltdown?
