Does anyone know how long a new government should be allowed to continue blaming the country’s financial woes on the previous administration?

As long as the new government lives,,they will still bring all the blame up until they pop their clogs....

Dermot
it was the previous Governments fault in my opinion :-(

They always blame each other .but when you think what Gordon Brown did with peoples pensions .my hubby lost a lot of his private pension .if we keep changing our Prime ministers & government. the country will always be in a mess .catching up .with the other parties wrong doing. will be sat up tonight waiting .& watching .see what the nation decide. :-D <3

Have you forgotten what Thatcher did to the miners? I prefer there to be changes, it's dangerous to let any one party have too much power for too long.

Barbra, I think it will be a very interesting evening :-). I will be looking to see whether Clegg will keep his seat ;-).

Well said Guinevere.

I think as muffys just pointed out
if we had the FIREMEN party -- mmm did I say FIREMEN

the turn our from the ladies could be massive

not just 65.5 % total voters :-D :-D ;-)

Steady on Joy ;-) :-D

Is that me that has been RR'd? Can't remember what it was I said. As for sensible debate, that is not what I come on this board for. Life is too short to be sensible. By the way ladies, I am a retired fireman.

And just to prove it, I have changed my profile picture.

"I told you so"! - the favourite election result phrase of many of my colleagues who claim to be semi-professional soothsayers.

Smug sods!

I think everyone has forgotten what Maggie Thatcher did to the country,,ie right to buy,No discipline for kids in school/threat of the slipper/cane.

Then no houses built and kids screaming and carrying on.And it's even worse now.

the MPs should be judged on what they have did previously
not what lies they promise us now :-D

Exactly Joy .Oh an ex fireman on ere :-D you look proper handsome in your uniform :-) I honestly just don't believe All the promises .we shall see come the day when all the votes are in ;-) :-D :-D

I thought Bob was a builder. Wasn't it Sam that was the fireman? :-S

We had to vote three times today. We had to vote for one parlimentary candidate, two parish councilors and three district coucilors. I've got repetative strain injury now after putting all those x's in boxes. :-D

At least you did your bit Graham .just give your hand a good rub .it will be better soon :-D ;-)

Questions of political personalities, past performance, competence & stability were issues about which the electorate should have made prudent judgements before today's voting opportunity.

Me? You must be joking! Having parked in a road which seems to have its own full-time traffic warden, I rushed in, rudely grabbed the voting slips from a very nice overseer who was doing her best to explain how I should complete the various coloured forms - but not telling me who to vote for, you understand. Even I know that would not be legal.

Anyway, it was nice to be welcomed outside at the door with a big smile by a handful of prospective council candidates, some of whom I had not set eyes on for nearly five years. Good job they were all wearing name badges, otherwise I would have flown passed them without as much as a nod.

I understand that government manifestos will be used to light the bonfire on Guy Fawkes night. That lot should brighten up any dull November's evening.

well done Bob
you have all the ladies drooling now :-D :-D

I also don't come one here to be serious life's way to short

;-) ;-) ;-)

ARE WE ALL
sitting comfortable

let the circus begin ;-) ;-) ;-)
