General Election 2010

If that is the case with your local council if I were you, email and inform Conservative Central Office, if them allegations are true then that is a disgrace, but none of that is as bad as what Labour did to my city in the 1980s, it was awful and gave us the reputation we have now.



Exactly, Labour like all socialists struggle when it comes to economics but dont struggle when it comes to making empty promises.

Why email them something they already know and ultimate drop into their junk folder when I can just vote them out?

Alright then don't bother, from personal experience though I know that most Liberal Democrat & Conservative councils are better than Labour councils, Labour destroyed my city.

What makes the conservatives so good?

[-:Undertaker:-]

Lets see;

• Conservative idealogy means tougher on crime, immigration and on sentences. This compared with Labour, who under them our prison sentences have gone to situtations such as 10 years for murder.
• Conservative idealogy tends to prefer a independant Unites Kingdom, whereas Labour would happily sign up fully to the European Union fully tommorow and sign away more and more of our sovereignty.
• Conservatives support lower taxes and always have.
• Conservatives left office in 1997 with a excellent low debt record.
• Conservatives believe if you cant afford it then you cut public spending, as you do not spend money you do not have as this Labour government has which means we have a massive mountain of debt.
• In the 1980s this country was transformed from the sick man of europe to a ever growing economy, thanks to Margaret Thatcher.
• Thanks to 1980s Thatcherism introduced in both United Kingdom and United States we have seen most other countries follow and in turn have became much wealthier over the past 20 or so years.
• Conservatives believe in the poor being richer and the rich being richer, opposed to socialisms belief that the poor should be poorer and the rich should be poorer - because you cant have it both ways.
• Margaret Thatcher cut taxes in order to allow business to grow.
• Conservatives stopped the post-war decline we had in the United Kingdom since World War II.
• Margaret Thatcher stopped the dangerous threat of militant socialism which was rampant in the 1970s and which caused the winter of discontent.
• Conservatives cut union power so that the unions became unions and not government, as they were basically in control of the 1970s Labour government.

That is why the Conservatives are better, and I just hope for the reputation of the party and more so for this country that he, David Cameron is a radical like Margaret Thatcher was. If he isn't then he will fail, if he is, then hopefully he can turn us around from this mess Labour have spent, and blundered their way into.

Why does labour believe in high taxes?

Although I've not followed it for ages, since I last did, I know there were many more benefits (especially economic) with joining the European Union.

Also, I don't know why you keep bringing up Margaret Thatcher as a pro for Conservatism, she's not going to be leading.

Labour are left wing, and since left wing believes in big government and the state they also believe in higher taxes to fund that, you obviously dont know Labour that good. In the 1980s tax on the richest was 80%, which led to no investment in this country and it destroyed our economy, leading us to go cap in hand to the IMF.

They say that, but the common market destroyed our farms which went bust overnight when we joined the common market. The French fishermen are not happy with EU fishing regulations and neither are British fishermen. We pay billions in donations and membership fees to the EU, most of which we never see again. There are hundreds of countries in this world that have existed and traded for hundreds of years, why, all of a sudden is it 'vital' we be in this command style of economy when we have coped for hundreds of years on our own and other countries are still doing so today. Market aside, what right does the EU have to move out of any economic regulations and so on, it has no right and never will to dictate our laws and give us red tape after red tape of regulations which it costs us to implement and our police to enforce. - it has no right.

As for Margaret Thatcher, people who understand economics and politics have overwhelming support for her, as most of England is pro-Conservative and want another Thatcher, that is why the top selling newspapers are mostly anti-EU and historically pro-Conservative.

"A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master. These are the British inheritance. They are the essence of a free country, and on that freedom all of our other freedoms depend." - Margaret Thatcher

I want tories to win, although they got the most votes last time but still lost on seats.

they never lol

[-:Undertaker:-]

they never lol

Their number of seats didn't fairly represent their number of votes, as is the problem with first past the post system.

I don't follow politics, it's why I was asking about it.

It's because you're using her to exemplify why the Conservatives should be in power when she no longer has anything to do with Politics.

Conservatives are ruining my city and ask the great majority of people here their opinions on Thatcher and you wont get one that doesn't involve profanity. If you've got the right to vote then use it.
