After the first 2 weeks of campaigning, an update on how overworked my letterbox has been: Conservative 2 leafletsLabour 1 leafletOthers must do better…nothing at all. The Conservatives also seem to have most of the election boards by the roadside so well done them! Next week it could all change! –

Why Are Political Candidates So Crap With Social Media?
There seems a certain irony when our politicians have been pushing for a faster internet and Gordon Brown is claiming “in five years time we can be the digital leader of the world” that very few of them seem to know how to make use of it. This election is the first when all the […]
The Most Entertaining Manifesto So Far – It Rocks!
At the start of week three of the election campaigning (has it really only been two weeks so far?) there is a risk we are all becoming a little jaded. Here is one party who’s campaigns never fail to cheer me up: I bet you’ll be humming, or whistling the tune all day, although somehow […]
If Only All Election Candidates Were As Good….!
To borrow a catchphrase from the ‘old school’ entertainer, Max Bygraves: “I wanna tell you a story” (those under the age of 45 should click the link! LOL)On the day of the Liberal Democrats manifesto launch, I wrote a post about party leader, Nick Clegg and how I was impressed by what he had said […]
Clegg Has The Best Line Of The Night!
The best quote to come out of the live Leaders debate tonight, came from the man whom the immediate polls have declared as the winner of the night – Nick Clegg. Referring to his two fellow debaters, Gordon Brown and David Cameron, he said: “The more they attack each other the more they sound the […]
TV Or Not TV That Is The Question – In This Election At Least!
Today, we are all invited to take part in a bit of history making, for it is the day that the leaders of the three biggest political parties engage in a live televised election debate – a first for this country. Of course, it is not going to be a real ‘debate’ as the ground […]
Liberal Democrats – The ‘Lifeboat’ In A Sea Of Falsehood?
Monday was the turn of Labour, yesterday was the Conservatives and today the focus was on what the Liberal Democrats would do for the country should they gain control of Parliament after the election. Leader Nick Clegg described his manifesto as: “… hope married to credibility, it is optimism in touch with reality.” and you […]
Conservatives, ‘Borrowing’ Lib Dem Ideas And The Gay Vote!
I was surprised to see George Osborne’s plan to tackle homophophic bullying in schools promoted so willingly by the press last Sunday. It also features prominently on the front page of the Conservative Party website. Unfortunately for him, though, I remembered posting about an almost identical plan put forward by the Lib Dem’s Nick Clegg […]
Cameron’s Hollow Conservatives!
David Cameron’s choice of venue for the launch of his party’s election manifesto, this morning, struck me as being a strange one, until I realised that Battersea Power Station has an immensely impressive facade but very little on the inside. Do you see the irony? Just like the Conservative party, it is struggling to convince […]
Political Leaders Trying To Sell Us Bankrupt Stock!
This week will see the launch of manifestos from all the main political parties. They will set out their ‘shops’ hoping to convince us to walk through their doors and buy their promises. Sadly, they all have one thing in common; they have nothing to sell! Oh sure, they will try and convince us we […]
