Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Fraggle I reckon Labour will win again unfortunately. I would hope the Liberal Democrats win - they were the only ones who were always against invading Iraq. I don't think they stand much chance of winning though - but may get some more seats in Parliament. No chance of getting rid of Blair though - if Labour gets in we're stuck with him. Jo I wish we could say we didn't hear much about American elections - they bombard us with it on a daily basis! - " fraggle " <EBbrewpunx Wednesday, May 04, 2005 6:06 PM to my brethren across the pond > So, how goes the election over on yer lil isle? > > we don't ear much over here, except fer the snippets on alternative radio sources (on that blair is in trouble, but since ya'll don't vote directly for him anyways, there isn't going to be much of a change)...i don't listen t othe *regualr* news much, except fer the morning news, and they haven't uttered a peep yet > so, wot is ya'lls perspective? > Labor going to win?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Fraggle > So, how goes the election over on yer lil isle? Doesn't start till tomorrow morning!!! Obviously we're getting bombarded with propaganda from all sides right now... I'm getting propaganda in triplicate, since I now live in one of the most marginal constituencies in the country - there's only 4,000 votes seperating all 3 parties, so it could go any way... and I'm getting rather fed up with the amount of paper that is getting stuffed through the letter box! Still... it's nice to know that I'm one of the 4% of voters who can actually make a difference (even if it is only in a small way)! > we don't ear much over here, except fer the snippets on alternative radio sources (on that blair is in trouble, but since ya'll > don't vote directly for him anyways, there isn't going to be much of a change)...i don't listen t othe *regualr* news much, > except fer the morning news, and they haven't uttered a peep yet > so, wot is ya'lls perspective? > Labor going to win? Tory's gonna pull an upset? i forget the third party over there..liberal democrats??? > any chance that if labor wins they won't pick blair? Wellll.... there's been a big campaign to get Tony Blair defeated in Sedgefield (his constituency) - if by some miracle that campaign works, it's possible that we could end up with a Labour government, but without Blair as an MP - and it would be difficult for the queen to name him as Prime Minister if he's not an MP (although not entirely unknown - Alec Douglas Hume wasn't an MP when he became PM) I think the likely outcome is another Labour government, but with a reduced majority - I'm personally hoping for a hung Parliament with Liberal Democrats holding the balance of power... at least in the real world. In the " ideal " world, we'd have a Green Party government, but that's a good 50 years off yet!!! I hope that made sense to you folks in the US - I suspect there's a few peculiar English terms in there!! BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Come on Fraggle, why you try to goad us suffering populace. Havent we suffered enough this week? P.S. I normally notice about 100 to 150 emails when I get to a computer in this chat group, today there are nearly 350? what is going on? admittidly a lot are duplicates ( good old - still havent figured out why that happens), but does this increase mean that there are more vegans out there ( hopefully?). One day , when my ship comes in, I will own my own PC, and be able to keep up with things in this site. The Valley Vegan......... Take a look at the Law man beating up the wrong guy, Oh man , wonder if he ever knows He`s in the best selling show......fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: So, how goes the election over on yer lil isle?we don't ear much over here, except fer the snippets on alternative radio sources (on that blair is in trouble, but since ya'll don't vote directly for him anyways, there isn't going to be much of a change)...i don't listen t othe *regualr* news much, except fer the morning news, and they haven't uttered a peep yetso, wot is ya'lls perspective?Labor going to win?
