Tory are in power 
Your thoughts?
I was actually wondering whether itâs going to turn into another decade of riots and yuppies!?
Well the only good thing that may come out of it is that the New Labour experiment has come to an end. Hopefully we can have a labour party that actually supports working people
Voted Lib Dem - Seems ironic labour werenât prepared to compromise. Clegg needs to represent - keep a reasonable pan balance.
At least in Cameron youâll have 2 good eyes on the Job.
its time for a change. labour had 13 years to get the country going. they did it. at the start. then it went pear shape. theyve had plenty of time to make things, atleast, look like theyre going in the right direction.
lets see if cameron can fulfill on his promises.
hey atleast well have an ENGLISH prime minister! first time in a while! brown can go back across the border and join his own REAL parliament. 
I was living in the UK when Labour got in & there was a real buzz that things were going to change.
Maybe they did, maybe they didnt⌠maybe they changed & stayed the same as they would have done under another Government⌠But 13years or whatever is enough to make anyone want a change.
Its cyclical.
I hope the new B astards are not as bad as the old B astards for yiz! :hehe:

Yeah - I heard Cameron wants to put Cagney & Lacey, Max Headroom & Roland the Rat back on TV.
Time to start protesting!

Columbia will be glad of the return of the Yuppie!
Yeah i was thinking recently I could do with a new Rolex!
I sincerely hope that the advance of the Columbian Brothers will not force the Brazillians to retreat & leave us with the 1980âs Old Skool Bush.
Nooooo!!! Bring back Labour!!
Roben, youâre brave putting up a post about politics!
Anyway, itâs the best news iâve heard! Least now that labour has gone your net pay wonât go down next year like they planned! George Osborne is revoking that in the next budget which will be out in June

Yeah thatâs what I was thinking, especially in these forums!!
So, this God fella, whatâs that all about? (NOTE - PLEASE DO NOT START DEBATING RELIGION, THAT WAS A JOKE!)
My personal opinion is that I couldnât care whoâs in power in the UK as I moved from there years ago and Iâm never going back (to live)!! I will however be back for a visit at xmas time, so as long as the new government hasnât closed all the pubs, I think Iâll be fine

Damn donât give them any ideas
id put my opinion in but dont know anything about uk politics. i do follow politics here in the states
personally for my own circumstances labour where and still are the only party to vote for. as much as they did wrong they also did something things good, especially for young working families.
no party could have done anything about immigration and still canât with out pulling out of the EU which in itself would put our economy in deeper crap.
no government could have prevented the crash in our economy, this was a world crash and not just the UK.
personally i donât think people lost faith in Labour but more lost faith in the PM.
imho if you are a working family or working for minimum wage then the next 5 years are gonna be hard.
for me at least if money gets any tighter me and my family are screwed in our current situation.
Jon I do agree with you, only the Labour party had completely lost its way when Blair became leader and got into bed with Bush.
But yeah most goverments have changed leadership since the recession as people will blame the current goverment. Also no goverment can pull us out of a recession as the ecomomy is based on so many fragile factors (ie gambling) so it could go either way.
Having been a young adult during the thacher years I am pretty weary of the coalition but do hope the Liberals keep things in check
Well from what I gathered the Conservatives looked after the Rich people, Labour looked after the Poor and Liberal Democrats were a happy medium.
However with the Conservatives being in power alongside the Liberal Democrats I have to admit iâm anxious to see what happens, if things get better, worse or if they stay the same. I am comforted by the fact that the Lib Dems also have a say about what happens and it isnât all left in the hands of the Conservatives.
I do however feel that surely it canât get any worse than it already is, but then Iâm mearly going on how bad our ecconemy is right now. 1 in 4 people are unemployed, probably not helped by the fact that weâve let so many foreigners in whoâve taken a lot of our jobs, or the fact that Conservative when they were last in power sold nearly all our worth to foreign countries.
Apart from that, I donât really know anything about politics, all i know is that things need shaping up.
