I Don't Like Michael Howard.... |
|
I am watching a debate of the British Parliament on C-Span2 and have concluded Michael Howard is a royal twit...
Although I disagree with Tony Blair's Iraq policy if I was a British citizen I would walk over hot coal to make sure Labour stays in power....
I wonder if any British citizens know how the May elections will likely turn out....

the elections wont result in Howard as PM....
hes pulling out all the desperate Tory talking points but the truth is his party is going backwards not forwards.
Best case scenario for the general election. Labour returned to power with the Liberal Democrats surpassing the Tories as the party of opposition.

They were debating immigration and Blair said "I am not accusing you of being a racist but of being a shameless opportunist"....
I have a couple questions...
Are there any people of color that are Conservative members of Parliament?
Are there many people of color who vote Conservative?

3. What Blair said is undoubtedly true. And who should be better |
|
able to spot shamless opportunism than Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" "The Bridge" Blair?

6. The Bridge Was A Great Policy.... |
|
I think Great Britain is our best friend and ally but Bush has led Tony Blair astray...
The relationship was great when there's a Democratic president and a Labour Prime Minister...

4. I don't know the specific numbers for the upcoming election |
|
but traditionally the Tories haven't done well amongst minorities... and Howard's immigration policies certainly aren't going to help that.
