ForumGarden

Hi, I'm steveg, from England. I have looked at this forum for about a month and decided to register as it has some very interesting post and thread topics, I hope you are all well.

My interests include politics, history, geography and most sports, I'm just a little boring really. I do like a good debate and I would say I am old school with many of my views, but will listen to what others have to say, so I am not against changing my opinions to say, a more modern way of thinking provided the arguments and facts are convincing enough.

So let battle begin, only joking....I am not that bad!

Hi Oscar, I am really just testing the water, but do you really think Brown is great?

Personally, I only judge democratically elected political leaders of a country if they have gone through the democratic process and been elected by the majority of voters. As you know, our dear Gordon has not, something I am sure you have been told before, I consider him like all the other dictators of the world, past or present.

I am particularly annoyed that even if he loses the next general election, provided he does not ban it first and declare it illegal, that as an english voter, I do not even have a say in his status as a mere MP as his constituency is Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, therefore, to english voters he is democratically untouchable as a politician, which simply enforces my comparison with a dictator.

Brown assumed office in June 2007, after the resignation of Tony Blair but I do not like to hear the word 'assumed' in politics, in my opinion it has no place in any healthy democratic process.

So, after giving you a pleasant welcome, you decide to launch into Forum Garden by dissing my Great leader do you??

Right mate, the gloves are off and you join the ranks of that haggis botherer gmc and that Leprechaun galbally.

First of all, Tony lying, Judas, back-stabbing Blair did not resign. I repeat, did not resign. Gordon Brown is Scottish and he had his one eye on Blair's job for years. Do you not read the Daily mail?? If you did, you would know that the Great Gordon ousted Blair out on his sorry backside. The Great Gordon had two choices whilst doing the fantastic job of being Chancellor of the Exchequer. One, he could have resigned. That would have probably brought down the Labour government and he would have had to defect to the Tory tossers to take over the country. Two, he could sit it out under Blair, screwing up the economy just to make Blair look bad, and i for one, applaud him for doing a wonderful job. This is where Brown's Scottish cannyness came in. Gordon Brown had the party faithfull to vote Blair out and him in. The Cabinet voted Blair out in favour of Brown. The Cabinet spoke on behalf of the great British public.

Two, if you had paid attention to the landmark by-election in Glenrothes, it would have given you an idea of how a general election will go should the Great Gordon decide to call a snap election in June whilst riding high on his popularity. No doubt, i'll have that heather muncher from Fife, gmc, on in a minute moaning about the turn-out but here's the result just incase you missed it.

GORDON BROWN 1

SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY 0

CONSERVATIVE LOST THEIR DEPOSIT :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Before the Glenrothes by-election, cama- 'Moron' was calling for a general election when polls showed Labour 14% behind.

Cameron now has his people on high alert after the Great Gordon's popularity has risen to put Labour to date at only 2% behind and gaining fast.

Of course, he is untouchable as a politician and that's the way we like it and that's the way he'll stay. :yh_rotfl

The Great Gordon has ruled out any chance of calling an election in June but just be warned, after all, he's hardly going to tell the truth is he now??

I had an Aylesbury Duck once. His name was 'Trevor' and he lived in the pond in my garden when i was a kid.

Odie, how did your cortisone injection go?? Did it hurt?? I've been baby sitting the aliens for you while you were away.:wah:

Oscar, Blair was not voted out, he stepped down, Brown then assumed the role of prime minister, they did not even have an in house Labour party election before he took power, within parliamentary rules yes, but pure dictatorship in my eyes.

Granted, you won the recent by-election in Glenrothes, but I wouldn't call it landmark, you simply retained a seat you already held - but with a reduced majority of over half...... not good.

Now here is a list of previously held Labour seats lost in bye elections in 2008:

*Glasgow East- Labour lost to: Scottish National Party

*Crewe and Nantwich - Labour lost to: Conservative Party

* Dunfermline and West Fife - Labour lost to: Liberal Democrats

So all in all Oscar, your great Gordon Brown does not look that great, statistically! :wah:

Thanks for the welcome by the way, that goes for everyone else as well, I was very impressed so I will try to be kind to you all. :sneaky:

Welcome to FG, Steve.

Hi, Steve. Welcome to FG.

Hi Steve, im from the north of England so i dont even understand politics:D

spot;1071045 wrote: I say, be fair, Dunfermline and West Fife was in February 2006 not 2008 and all three losses were under Tony Blair before he resigned.


I would humbly like to correct you there. Brown took office in June 2007 and two of the bye elections where as follows:

Glasgow East was 30 June 2008 - Labour lost.

Crew and Nantwich was 17 April 2008 - Labour lost.

Both I may add, under his watch.

I have also forgotten to include the London mayoral election in 2008, for the office of Mayor of London, which was held on 1 May 2008 and was won by Conservative Party candidate Boris Johnson, against the Labour existing mayor, Ken Livingston.

So by my reckoning, Labour have lost four seats in bye elections in 2008 but retained only one, albeit with a previous majority more than halved. Not good signs for labour voters! :wah:

It's OK really, Steveg, Oscar has just been neglecting her medication - a bit too often unfortunately.

The symptoms include delusions such as:- Brown is a competent politician and "New Labour" are socialist.

Anyways, welcome to the asylum.
