How do we go about getting a vote of no confidence in B.liar? or are we as (merely) the electorate unable to do anything about him at all? If there was an election tomorrow I would probably spoil my paper, yes a waste of everything the Suffragettes fought for, But 180 years ago (or thereabouts) Im sure they had no idea what chaos our government and country was going to descend into...
I find it unbearably frustrating knowing there is nothing remotely resembling a decent opposition out there.
El Prez your time may come sooner than you thought.

i hate to say it but i think Teflon Tony will squirm his way out of it yet again.
Notice how most Labour MPs voted with him yesterday to defeat a motion on an judicial enquiry...very telling wasnt it?
Obviously they'd decided against the nuclear option, Bliar probably told them they'd all be out of a job at the next election if they pushed it too far so they all shut up and followed orders...
So unless the Tories recover or everyone votes for the Lib Dems which is pretty unlikely, i predict another Labour victory

the best we can hope for is Bliar standing down in favour of Gordon Brown.....

If tone
a) is seen to fudge wmd question
b) pushes us into eu constitutionand denies a vote
his ratng will plummet making labour vulnerable
the only way they will stay in, is if people vote liberal and split the vote (and kennedy is a worm)

ideally id like to see Labour back in cos i think they're still the best overall party, but that 180 seat majority needs to be seriously trimmed. i say a majority of 50 or something should be enough to keep Him in check and make Him fight for every vote ever afterwards.

Political parties dont give a hoot about soldiers,we are just a little tool in the big box marked:only open and praise when you need votes/support.
