Last night Question Time was held in Llandudno, a close marginal seat where 4 major parties are fighting for the seat. And so those 4 parties were represented with Jacqui Smith from Labour, Cheryl Gillan from the Tories, Lembit Opik from the Lib Dems and Elfyn Llwyd representing Plaid Cymru. There was also John Sergeant [...]

Cameron: The Heir to Blair?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair on October 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Over the past weeks, the controversy over the proposed new EU Presidency has become more and more of a pressing issue. Cameron clearly does not support Blair for the job and he sees that the job should not exist at all. He would rather have an administrative position, he sees creating a President of Europe [...]

El Presidente Blair

I am a Eurosceptic who does not believe there should be a President of the Eu. However I am also a realist who accepts that Klaus will cave in due to the persistent pressure and threats he has received from European leaders. Cameron will not be able to hold a post ratification referendum for legal reasons [...]
Rory Stewart

A few months ago I was watching Newsnight special on Afghanistan when a young man called Rory Stewart was being interviewed. In the course of the interview I became impressed at his defence knowledge and depressed at the lack of such knowledge in Politics. But now the Conservative party has just selected this fine man and [...]

Question Time Verdict

Chris Huhne – Terrible, tied himself in knots on Eu expansion and was marginalised in the discussion. Idiotic quote of the evening explaining how to stop the rise of support for the BNP was ‘to have more Liberal Democrats’. Sayeeda Warsi – Fantastic performance, strong on immigration, understood that not all BNP voters are racist [...]

Gordon Brown was given a planted question by his ex headmaster designed to allow him to say how brilliant the Governments’s response to the Swine Flu problem. Then on to the important part of PMQs the exchange between the two leaders. Cameron starts off with a short simple question about condemning the Royal Mal strike that [...]
All Women Shortlists

Oh dear David you have just made a massive error, in your desperation to prove the Tories were doing something for women, you blurted out you would consider All Women Shortlists. Most Tories are absolutely fuming as a result of this decision by Dave Cameron. These are the reasons why…………… 1 Conservative believe in judging [...]

John Bercow is proposing, in his new mandate for modernisation as Speaker, to allow government ministers in the House of Lords to answer questions. Ever since our parliament has existed the Commons and the Lords have been kept separate, but Bercow is hoping that the parliamentary authorities will make it possible so that ministers, who [...]

BNP and Nick Griffin – A Right to be Heard?

The BNP should not be on question time simply to ridicule them but because they have a right to. No matter how much one despises their views, their policies, their members and their ideals the BNP has a right to be on Question Time. I am not defending the BNP because I in anyway agree [...]

In an earlier blog post my co-author wrote about the extent to which the Conservative Party Vote is an anti Labour vote and this is undoubtedly true. People are fed up with the mess that Labour has caused and believe it is time for a change in Government. However most voters have no idea what [...]

Gordon Brown Biscuit man.

Yesterday Gordon Brown was asked an impossible queston. It wasn’t, Why did you remove regulatory powers from the Bank of England ?or a probing question on NHS but What is your favourite type of biscuit? Brown dithered and thought and thought before failing to answer the question after 12 attempts. This shows the complete an [...]

Latest poll figures suggest that the Conservatives have the next general election in the bag. In six or seven months the people of the UK will go to the polls fed up with over a decade of Labour rule.

Some politicians are good Public Speakers with the power to entertain crowds, for example William Hague manages to combine wit with intelligence effectively. However none have the Charisma to gain a messianic following in the style of Barack Obama. There is one true star of British Politics who comes close to attracting such a man [...]
