Why David Cameron should let Labour form a coalition government.
Government is somewhat of a poisoned chalice with the unprecedented deficit we have in this country and particularly with the markets around the corner to pounce on the UK plus the IMF having pencilled in a visit. Without a Conservative majority in parliament, David Cameron is seeking a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. For the Lib Dems this election result provides an opportunity to force electoral reform. There is a groundswell in the country that underlines this. Can politicians, whoever make up the government, ignore this? I think not. So, a referendum is on the cards and J33PER thinks this is the proper way of dealing with this.
Now, back to the poisoned chalice I mentioned earlier.
The UK is unlikely to maintain economic growth or to reduce the deficit without implications that will see Greek-like scenes. The pill that needs to be swallowed is so necessary but I believe that there is no political leader strong enough to cut the British cloth according to earnings.
We have five million people that don't work and receive benefits. The public sector is now huge plus their pensions simply unaffordable. The Private Finance Initiative, Blair/Brown's invention puts further strain on things. Most have lived well above their means, including government. The Marxist strategy by Blair/Brown will bring the country to its knees, about that there is no doubt.
Now I can finally come to the point; In my opinion, DC would be well advised to make sure that the LibDem - Conservative coalition is not going to happen and let a Lib-Lab combination become the government. There are a few reasons behind my thinking. Proportional Representation is not the top priority. The top priority for any government is the deficit. The markets are champing at the bits to take the UK apart as there are billions to be made for speculators.
Mr Brown will soon have to come clean to the electorate. Cuts are going to have to be savage. GB will lose total credibility with Labour supporters and the hapless underclass of Britain if he makes cuts enough to satisfy the markets. We all know that he's not. He has presided over a policy of limitless spending and wasting. He simply won't be able to change his spots. The pound will further collapse with an exchange rate to the US Dollar of $1.15 within three months, the IMF will step in and force spending reductions which will be followed by an uprising like this country has never seen. Brown will have to resign as the Lib-Lab government falls and his boyfriend Mandelson won't be able to further deceive the British public with blatant lies. Labour will lose power for many years to come as inflation is going to go through the roof and unemployment will rise sharply. Let Labour take the blame and let the British underclass understand GB's lie about Conservative cuts and Labour investment.
At that stage the Conservatives will be vindicated, win the election with a landslide victory and reign for the coming generation. Thus, short term gain for the Conservatives now should be put aside for the bigger picture in which Britain must be rebuild. Because let's be quite clear; in order to get out of this malaise, we simply need to work harder, expect to earn less and let everyone take responsibility for their own destiny.

J33PER is getting increasingly concerned about the state of this country and the population's apathy regarding some serious issues that seem to be eroding our rights. Is the judicial system still serving the interests of the people of Britain? Is parliament serving the people? I am afraid that I am not convinced. As for democracy, I feel as if that is a term largely ignored by government. Power seems to corrupt. The revelations about Dr David Kelly's death as published in the Daily Mail (not my newspaper of choice, I have to say) are even more worrying than the financial ill-health of this state. The big question for me is how much longer can people in power continue unabated violations of morals before the people will stand up and be heard? Here are a few things that I find unsettling....
The imminent elections don't provide a solution. We need a hung parliament that forces electoral reform. One party having absolute power is unhealthy for a democratic society. One can but hope.
Perhaps it's time to move elsewhere...
- Blatant lies to justify invading Iraq
- An inconsequential Chilcot enquiry
- Totalitarian goings on around Dr David Kelly's death
- Mandelson's fall and rise, fall and rise, fall and rise
- Alastair Campbell, unelected but enjoyed great power
- Tony Blair as Middle Eastern peacemaker

So the election is going to be on May 6, 2010 according to the Defence Secretary's slip of the tongue.
I have no choices to make as I can't vote. So, I can simply observe and obey. If I was able to vote, I would have a real problem.
When Blair came to power, there was a genuine "feel good" factor in the country and a welcome change to the politics of sleaze. Only, nobody had experienced sleaze as we would the following twelve years! The country has been let down by Labour spin and has done a great disservice to how the people view politicians. If that wasn't enough already, the expenses scandal brought to light by the Daily Telegraph has further eroded the regard in which politicians are held. The banking crisis, the feeling by native Brits that they have become second class citizens and the disrespect politicians so deserve makes for a grim backdrop to an election which should be so important for the future economic health of the United Kingdom.
The bottom line is that we severely lack a conviction politician. We have very little to choose from. What are the differences between Labour and the Tories? All we have been getting so far from both parties has been short on substance and both are afraid to speak out on the real issues that concern this country. All both want is power. And power corrupts, Mr Blair has proven that. That reminds me that Mr Blair is going in front of the Chilcot enquiry on Friday. Watch him charm his weazel-ish ways through that without any consequence whatsoever. What is the point?
For now, I would suggest that voters should look very carefully at the real alternatives. Both Labour and the Tories don't deserve to win based on what they've been telling us so far. Desperate times require desperate measures.
