David Cameron claimed in his Party Conference speech that he has "courage, leadership and a strongly Conservative vision for Britain" and rejected Brown’s appeal to the importance of experience, insisting that character and judgement matter more.
Do you believe that Cameron has what it takes to steer Britain through financial turmoil, or does Brown’s past make him better qualified? Is it about personality or experience?
I am well aware of Mandelsons "Colourful" Past, James.
But he is NOT an Elected member of Parliament NOW, he is only in Government because Brown gave him a seat in the House of Lords, an "Honour"?, which had to be rushed through in record time. That from a government who want to abolish the House of Lords?, except that is when it suits them.
My original post stands!.
Spotted your post Grubber,Merry Xmas to you and yours also.Don't you wonder what sort of a world it will be for your granchildren,I can't wait to see the backend of this lousy government.
A from Elbow : Peter Mandelson was elected Member of Parlament for Hartlepool in 1992, 1997, and again in 2001. He resigned the position in September 2004 after twelve years in this office. He was elected by the people of Hartlepool on three occasions, on his resignation Labour won the seat again in the resulting bye-election. He is know a Labour peer and a very good politician and formidable foe off the Tory party. Maybe that's what you don't like about him !
Prime ministers are not appointed by the electorate. The governing party can change their leader while in office as many times as the like. In doing so they appoint a new prime minister without the permission of the voters. Blair resigned and Brown was chosen by his party members. This situation is one that you need get used to accepting, as the Labour party will no doubt have to change their leader during their future many years in power.
Mike, Bristol, we stil have the world's 5th largest economy. To the geographically-bemused person from Brazil: be careful with discussions about sleaze, sunshine; you may wish to airily criticize Labour's misdemeanours, but let us not forget the gross corruption that still festers at the heart of the tory party, and we wil not forget, either, the convicted jailbirds, sex offenders, and corrupt mountebanks that characterize an anti-democratic monstrosity that polluted Smith Square for so many years, against which Labour's relatively few faux pas pale into insignificance. So, be very, very careful when accusing othersof sleaze; your political masters invented the concept, and practise it habitually to an unprecedented level to this day, obscured and hidden only by the fog of near-unaccountable opposition. May this carry on in perpetuity, so you shower can do far less damge that way.
rather that, than the toxic twins, alias the 2 usual bluffers. The day you best us hasn't yet dawned, mush, nor will it. keep trying though, but you'll find that the battle of facts, as represented by us, versus the fiction, by you 2 posturing pilchards, will never materialize.
