Brown refuses snap election and admits Labour would lose

[Immenseman]

My head tells me Conservatives will be voted into power in the next General Election. However, I also think this time in like 4 years when another General Election is up and coming people will be very eager to get the conservatives out and Cameron like Brown will delay the election because they think they're going to lose.

i agree with that ! conservatives need to go in to boost labour support again

[Immenseman]

Once we realise they are not fit to run the country :eusa_danc

No i wish for political parties like such atm; but at times like this they shouldn't be going about laughing at each others mistakes, they should be helping each other (obviously labour having the final say but the other parties opinions actually being considered) cause their meant to be here to help our country but atm they're just ******** about each other than trying to solve the final problem.

How can the Conservatives stand by while Gordon Brown and Labour are running up one of the biggest debt figures this country has ever had? They are called Her Majestys Opposition for a reason.

He obviously won't have an election now because we're in the middle of an economic disaster, i'm pretty sure he has better stuff to do than try and advertise his party :S

You support David Cameron, so just go.....

I'm pretty sure ALOT of people would hate to see that idiot in control of this country.

You say that to people who support David Cameron, yet I gave numerous examples on why this government has handled the economy badly and you haven't defended or even acknowledged them at all yet, so until you justify why it makes sense not to cut spending, why it makes sense to sell gold at a 25 year low price, why it makes sense not to save money for a rainy day and why it makes sense to nationalise banks (costing billions) yet exercising no control over them, then you have no argument and no right to criticise someone who supports David Cameron and the Conservatives.

I am a labour supporter however I do feel as if they need to be voted out in order to make them come round better the next time. I feel their time is up. Parties seem to stay in twice and then people want change and they go to the next party it just seems to be the general trend and I think now change is needed. I don't like Cameron and I certaintly dont trust him, I dont believe we would be in any better position if we had him running the country and it would probably be worse. In a way I hope conservatives get in so that people dislike them again and realise they would do no better!

It will be hard in the next four years, Cameron has said it himself, the amount of debt Labour have ran up will make it very hard for Cameron and the Conservatives to manage this country, but if they suceed like Margaret Thatcher did; then the majority of this country will see that yet again, the Conservatives had to clear up the mess left behind a Labour government.

As above, if they suceed in fixing this mess Labour have yet again left behind as they leave office then people will see them as a success, if they are not radical like Thatcher was then they will fail as the mess Labour have ran us into this time will take a lot to fix. They have a lot on their plate.

i do not see her as a success so we disagree from stage one.

The economics say different, compare the 1970's British to 1980's Britain and maybe then you will see the mass improvement.

I would like to ask, would you like to see the United Kingdom go back to the IMF and experience another winter of discontent where the military considered staging a coup against the government as it was so bad?

check the unemployment rates of the 80s.

and i want conservatives in, maybe for different reasons to you so i dont see us as disagreeing

Unemployment isn't economics, if you knew half the story you would know that unemployment was high because old industry had to be sorted and closed, and in time it takes to create new jobs, which led to the recent boom along with the rest of the world.

In the 1970's we had a government controlled by the socialist, even communist unions, a military in serious decline, a economy in dangerous collapse, we had to appeal to the IMF just to keep going, we had dead bodies rotting in the morgues, garbage on the streets, strike after strike as the unions whipped up hate and militantism in support of themselves and we had a mass of younger people actually leaving this country for a better life elsewhere, as it genuinely looked as though the United Kingdom would become a third world country.

If you can't see that, then it must mean you believe in the socialist hate that was whipped up in mostly the North and Scotland against Thatcher by the unions, anyone who thinks decent taxpayers and people should suffer to keep a old dying industry alive is selfish and arrogant above all else.

She encouraged individualism and that is what had made this country have one of the biggest booms in the world over the past fifteen years, those who hate her have either been brought up to hate her, have no understanding of economics or enjoy seeing this country decline.

I'm going to be run for PM one day, hope you all vote me.

[clueless]

so you are saying the unemployment rates have nothing to do with her?
