Voters Being Stitched Up

Is it just me or are we about to be stitched up by a 'deal done behind closed doors' between the minority and losing 'Liberal' party and either the Tories, or the defeated Labour party?

So much for a 'New Politics', we now have a form of kerb crawling from the Tories and Labour leaders ...... rolling down their windscreens, banging on the car doors, shouting out words of encouragement "Hey Niki baby. Come over here darlin, get into into the back seat you strumpet, Daddies got an electoral mandate for you play with!"

What's so disheartening about this is that a very small party is demonstrating exactly why the Proportional Representation system that the Liberals are so desperate for is such a disaster..... because this is exactly what would happen after every election for ever once they get their PR in place.

Except that we know that it would be a permanent 'anti Tory' (aka anti right wing, 'conservative') alliance of Labour and its Liberal Party jockey for eternity ..... how is that more 'democratic'?

Come Monday we face financial meltdown, but no deal if the Liberals will only horse trade the destruction of all right wing parties as the cost of stability...... if the Liberals are prepared to act responsibly and cooperate on other areas where we need strong government, then they would be acting as they said PR would work and advance their cause, but blackmailing us into making them the permanent power brokers of the UK just shows why so many of us fear PR.

Labour Despise Working Class

Gordon Brown is fighting for his political legacy as well as his political life. He faces being a "no win" PM, a fate that he has feared, and is usually judged a failure by history, something that has paralysed his political thinking since he was gifted his job by Blair. He bottled calling the election then, when he most certainly would have won (albeit with a smaller majority), and has slowly lost chances ever since.

We have discussed the fact that he had been expected to lose the general election, but also that polls had suggested that he may have just squeezed past the post but then came the gaffe.

While 'meeting the public' in a safe labour seat, he bumped into a elderly woman who suggested that immigration was an issue along, with the students fees, and the economy. Brown appeared to answer the questions including stressing that he did understand voters' concerns about immigration. He always 'understands' their concerns but ignores them (I understand the aims of Islam but I don't support them).

Anyway as he walked away from the encounter, he was heard on microphone to call the woman a 'bigot' .... she was white, working class, and had always voted labour. In fact the core of what Labour should be fighting for, but she was dismissed as 'bigoted'.

Brown has since 'apologised', and grovelled that "I am a penitent sinner", and later just spun the event "I thought she was talking about expelling all university students from here who were foreigners. I misunderstood it."

There is nothing he can say or do to hide the fact that under current Labour ideology these days, white elderly and working class, is to be 'bigoted'. This why the BNP are predicted to make headway in Labour heartlands such as Barking and Dagenham.

Brown will not be the Prime Minister after this election ........ as the Conservative leader said of the row, 'Gordon Brown's "bigoted woman" comment speaks for itself'.
