British Elections 2007

[Canucker]

Hmm, so what do you guys expect next General Election in the U.K.?

Majority Labour Government
Minority Labour Government
Minority Conservative Government
Majority Conservative Government

I think Labour is old and tired and finished...

Living in Canada with so much privacy laws and civil rights, its amazing when you hear about the Nanny-state'ism of the "New" Labour...they have cameras everywhere, want to make a law that makes it illegal to take your hands off the steering wheel in your car.

Friggin ridiculous! Has it always been Big Brother their?

Well the Tories are the most successful political party in the world...so I assume their back in replacing Gordon?

I think Cameron is a tad image-obsessed though.

lol, Canada has gone through exactly what Britain is doing right now.

See in 1993 the Tories in Canada collapsed from a majority and the Liberals took a Majority Government under Chretien from 1993 too 2003. Chretien retired in 2003, and Paul Martin took over the Liberal Majority government for a year. The new united Conservative Party reduced the Liberals to a minority in 2004, and now the Conservatives are in a minority government since 2006 in Canada.

I mean you guys are going through the same cycle

Liberal Party of Canada = Labour
Conservative Party of Canada = U.K. Conservatives
Chretien = Blair
Martin = Brown
Harper = Cameron

In Canadian Parliamentary democracy, its historically always been true that when a P.M. or Premier (provincial equivalent to P.M.) resigns after a long stretch of that party governing, the new guy that takes over for a year or so, always is doomed when a new general election comes.

Anyways I like U.K. Politics, Canada has the same political Parliamentary structure and monarchy, so its easy to understand U.K. politics.

Ah Margaret Thatcher...wish Canada could get a Conservative like Maggie.
