milk stealer gets in-send the troops and sink the Belgrano.See off that idiot Scargill but forget it was personal and screw industry for bankers.
Never lose but fade away for a rather nice chap who didn`t have a clue but did spend time watching cricket.
Then swap leadership for a dream??-dreams can become nightmare

The years from 1960's to 1979 were years of changes.
Rhodesia, Devaluation of the pound, Northern Ireland's troubles, Joining the EC, 3 day week, HSE act, Referendum, North sea oil, Cod wars, Winter of discontent, Scottish and Welsh devolution refused etc. Some good some bad and all with Tory or Labour governments.
They did bring freedom from war time restrictions which most of the electorate loved.
1979 brought the electorate to say we have had enough of change lets have a stable government, hence Maggie.
1997 the tables turned and the electorate said lets have a change, hence Blair/Brown to the present day.
Both of these brought some stability to government under Tory and Labour.
Both brought good and bad things.
Whoever is in power you can pick out the good and the bad. What is good for one is bad for another.
I for one found that under the Tory's I became better off. Simple because of my forward planning for retirement. The interest rates paid me very handsomely (900+% and 875%) on my investments, whilst for others they created hardships.
Under Labour I have noticed that things for me have got worse whilst for other they may have improved.
I does depend on you lifestyle and needs wether you benefit or lose under any government.
Now we the electorate are saying, is stability right, the people dont seem to be able to make up their minds, hence the polls showing indiffering views.
My views are that I have had enough of Nu-Labour and their broken promises even though they conned me into voting for them three times.
I am not really in favour of anyones policies at the moment they are all ( IMO ) bad for the country.
Impossible no win situstion for any party.
Where do we go from here?
I think that there should be some sort of questionaire as to what the people want, that is if they know what they want. But again this is not plausible.

The Tories will always be the same . . . look after the uppers and sod the peasants . . . all that "we care for everyone" is just to get votes IMO . . . in Scotland we've known this for decades . . . we can see through them . . this time however, I wonder if they'll get an MP voted in up here ?

The Tory,s have always been for the business people, they know that they have the money to pay for things and create new jobs. I know they dont always do that but they could.
Dont all MP's just say things to get votes?
I honestly do not know the answer but I do know that Alex has some good ideas that they dont have in London.
Maybe the future will bring a real change in parliament and there will be no party line just a group of dedicated people who want this country to be the best in the world.
I wont hold my breath though.

. . . sod party policies . . they've always been dogmatic . . . . . as for Alex and the SNP, if they ever do get a majority in Scotland and we get total independence I would be very careful who I voted for because the party is full of half wits hanging onto Alex's coat tails.Alex is not up for election to Westminster BTW . . . however, he said last night he will remain in politics until Scotland is free.
