The coalition thread

I'd rather have you as PM Ken! At least you understand what it's like to have to get your hands dirty to earn enough to live. Why old Etonians are so successful in reaching government positions is beyond me, they have no comprehension of what it is like for those close to the poverty line and no idea what hardship their decisions causes.

Why do we vote to have people that know nothing about the lives of the average man decide what is best for him?

Coalition, seeing Clegg and Cameron standing next to each other outside No10 I was struck by how similar they were in appearance.

I noticed how much they looked alike when they were on the pm debate and apparently Clegg was a member of the conservative society when he was at university.
Have you noticed how much the parties are having to drop things that were in their manifesto, I wonder how those who voted for the 2 parties now feel especially if their decision was based on those promises!!

"Why do we vote to have people that know nothing about the lives of the average man decide what is best for him?"

I didn't,
Cameron has nothing in his background to indicate that he is either fit or capable of doing the job, even his academic  record at Eton was below average.

Mike I'm an average man and I'm the only one who knows what's best for me   I had to vote for somebody and I liked Osama Bin Laden better than Gordon Brown but he was not standing  ;)so david was my choice

Cameron recovered from this episode and passed 12 O-levels, and then studied three A-Levels in History of Art, History and Economics with Politics. He obtained three 'A' grades and a '1' grade in the Scholarship Level exam in Economics and Politics.[23]  He then stayed on to sit the entrance exam for the University of Oxford, which was sat the following autumn. He passed, did well at interview, and was given a place at Brasenose College, his first choice.[24]

I wish I had been so 'below average' at school

Thanks for that Stoop, What an amazing recovery
3 A-levels, my didn't he do well.
There's nothing there to make me alter my opinion
more brassneck than Brasenose me thinks.

Stoop, you forgot to mention his first class degree.

Gordon has he ever worked in the private sector, had blair before him? I ask this because the labour party seems to think it has the sole right to represent the Mr and Mrs normal of the country,with its leadership who come from either local councils or unions. very few have worked for a living in private sector, they have all the right words to get entice the people but areas of the country that have always voted labour are no better now for jobs than they were 20years ago, with the exception of those generated by new labour expanding public sector. I think this new government will do great things, I sure hope so and wish them well.

Don't think he got that at Eton
