Lets hope Miliband can stage some sort of a coup before the next election and they can be anglo american partners they'd make a good team. [/quote]eeew Miliband.   I despair for civilisation if we live in a world where there are people who actually WANT Miliband in power.[/quote]    Give me 5 good reasons why not to have Miliband in power. As a member of the Labour party I see him as our future. [/quote]1. He's totally on board with the whole "new" labour thing. 2. He's too "slick" 3. He wants to give away too much power to Brussels 4. Along with new labour in general he has been involved in promoting several "consultations" which suddenly are revoked when they didn't go the way desired 5. Anyone who worked for the Department for Education and Skills during the Labour tenure is automatically suspect in my eyes. New Labour's education policy has been horrible. (Thatcher too - but what is blairism but a more bloated thatcherism). Now perhaps the "economic crisis" might teach the labour party that trickle down economics doesn't work - but it doesn't look that way. Sure they're experimenting with Keynesism again, but they're propping up the top of the pyramid not the bottom.[/quote] Trickle down economics is more a conservative policy that new labour have simply had to deal with because now there is no other way to do so. Cameron will be one of the biggest advocates of this system since thatcher. In fact I reckon Camerons administration would be identical to Thatchers. In Blairs biography it is clear that Blair did not want to associate himslef with thatcher in the slightest, he claimed that he had to continue with some seeminlgy thatcherite practices but only because they had such a lasting legacy and h had to sort out the mess so to speak. Also New Labour is the future of Labour people need to get used to it instead of complaining of the days of bloody socialism where labour were entangled by Unions who pretty much ran them. It didn't work as a party, hence why we were under conservative rule for years, and hence why Thatcher fucked the country up. Also a journal in parliamentary affairs that Miliband has written shows that in fact he does not want to give more power to brussells, he feels that in fact would be one of the worst ideas in this economic climate, he beleives Europe should work together but that in fact UK should not deliniate any power to a centre European government. To be honest though politics are becoming global, if england went back to an old labour party or conservative and just sat on our little island without becoming global we would crumble and fall. So yes I think Miliband is the best person to run a country in globalising times, giving his experience as foreign sec, [/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Prince o palities Posted at 8:37 pm on Nov. 4, 2008 Rejoice or lament at your leisure.

Forever Angel Posted at 2:21 pm on Jan. 20, 2009 And now it's done, no longer even President-elect. It's President Barack Hussein Obama. Leader of the free world. Forever Angel Posted at 8:11 am on Jan. 17, 2009 Isn't it about time to change the title of this thread? He's no longer the presumed President-elect and in a few days he will be sworn in as the President. Roland Deschain Posted at 6:56 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 I'm glad McCain didn't take the oval office. Some people are treating him like the Second Coming, and thus setting themselves up for disappointment. I am looking forward to seeing what a Democratic presidency will be like after 8 years of a Republican presidency. The thing is, Barack is only human. He will make mistakes. But those mistakes will be a test. It will show who truly supports him, and who jumped on the bandwagon because their friends were doing it.
