evil woman

It is difficult to imagine it getting much better. Clegg is our MP. Wallace has proved to be the dead weight everyone said he was. George Galloway out on his ear. The Tories even have a Scottish MP. But of course the bonus is the boundary changes can now be implemented. It will be a very different election in 2020. ---------- Post added 08-05-2015 at 07:19 ---------- I think you will find that it is seat that was prevented from falling to Labour. I have to laugh at the 5 years of attacks made by Labour as they tried to destroy the Libdems. I wonder if it actually occured to them that the Tories stood to gain far more seats from the Libdems than Labour ever could. ---------- Post added 08-05-2015 at 07:21 ---------- I think the other problem is there aren't any of the big guns left to take over. I wonder who Labour will find to replace Miliband.

But not necessarily the one from where you live.

If market halls are dying it wasn't the brightest move by Sheffield council to spend £18 million building a new one.

We took European visitors into Sheffield during the bank holiday. We tried to get hot food in Millenium Galleries. "We don't do hot food because it is a bank holiday". It was quite astonishing how much of the city was closed. Our visitors couldn't believe it. Sheffield needs to decide whether it wants to be a major european city or just a run down place where no one visits.

Perhaps Sheffield had nothing to offer.

Has anyone else seen this video. Pretty shocking. https://www.facebook.com/dale.pask.7/videos/628317167304276/?pnref=story

So just what jobs do you think Miliband has had?

Ed's Balls brother Andrew is a good hard working lad being a partner at Pimco. Some years he barely takes home £5 million to pay the mortgage on his £6.5 million house. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2772114/Bond-Kings-net-millions-Ed-Ballss-brother.html City high-flyer Andrew Balls, younger brother of Shadow Chancellor Ed, is set to reap millions of pounds in pay and bonuses over the next few years after being promoted to a top job at global bond trading group Pimco. Balls junior, whose annual bonus was estimated at £4.5million earlier this year, was named Pimco’s global chief investment officer, a role likely to see his pay package expand still further. He was promoted late on Friday in a wider management shake-up prompted by the shock resignation of Pimco’s founder Bill Gross.

You mean like Ed Miliband did

Of course. The seat whose name you cannot divulge at all costs. :hihi::hihi: You are funny.

TBH I never for one minute imagined that you lived and voted in Hallam. I just wanted to drag it out of you. So you are not from Hallam but see fit to tell the voters there how they should and should not vote. Excuse me if I ignore your advice. I will be casting my vote in a constituancy where it is important. You won't like the way I intend to use it.

Actually I haven't vilified anyone. That is just your slavering rants that simply vilify anyone who may not share your opinions.

It would be similar to a Korean built one apart from the labour costs. It is one reason why Dyson had to move production from the UK. We could double or even treble wages but it would only benefit folk who still had a job.

That's the response of someone devoid of argument. But it certainly confirms my point. Perhaps you should consider voting Tory to stop Clegg winning his seat.

Democracy being able to cast your vote as you see fit? It isn't about voting as the lefties would like you to vote. That's communism.

Indeed they are. The recommended changes were not approved by parliament as they were blocked by the Libdems because the Tories would not back electoral reform.

So you will be casting your vote in Chesterfield to oust him in Hallam. I will be casting mine in Hallam and voting for him. Which one of us do you think holds the most influence on that particular ballot?

The boundary changes were blocked by the Libdems. Currently the polls suggest that the Tories will lose around 35-40 seats to Labour. That is pretty similar to the number that Labour are st to lose to the SNP. The major battle ground is over the Libddem seats. In 2010. Labour were the 2nd party in around 10 Libdem seats in England and the Tories in 2nd place in around 30. Much depends on who wins seats from the Libdems because it is difficult to see where else Labour would gain any seats on Thursday.

Did you know the MP is a servant of the people. The people are not a servant of the MP. They certainly aren't a servant of a candidate who wasn't ever in with a shout of winning the coming election. :hihi: ---------- Post added 06-05-2015 at 11:34 ---------- There are more people in Hallam who don't want Coppard as their MP than don't want Clegg. That is democracy.

No it just means that it becomes more attractive for folk to move production to Bulgaria where minimum wages is 184 Euros per month. ---------- Post added 06-05-2015 at 11:27 ---------- But the majority of those comodities are now made overseas and imported into the UK. I don't think their is such a thing as a UK made TV any more. My TV came from a Korean manufacturer but the components mainly come from China.

It could be to allow folks from S11 to negociate bandit country on their way to the motorway without having to slow down for the pot holes.:hihi:

Perhaps ask the council. Clegg got the funding for Sheffield. It is up to the council where it is used. Perhaps they are trying to buy votes in places where they don't get them for free.

Oddly enough at a husting 3 weeks ago at Crookes Social Club the Lib Dems claimed Clegg had secured government funding for 1000 miles of Sheffield roads to be replaced. Oliver Coppard who was there as Labour candidate didn't challenge the claim. So I'll probably take it as a more reliable source than your's. ---------- Post added 06-05-2015 at 10:26 ---------- You clearly don't live in Ecclesall. All the roads around Bents Green have been resurfaced. I have friends in Norton area who have had notification that the entire estate is to have new roads. Not repairs. New roads. New pavements. New street trees. If your own roads aren't being fixed I would ask the council why not, because Clegg secured funding for 1000 miles on new road. He isn't responsible for laying them.

You probably ought to read The Browne Report. Commissioned by the last Labour government by Peter Mandelson to advise on funding higher education. The report was implemented after the election but was opposed by the Libdems, but because they were a very minor part of a coalition they were forced to go along with it. So in actual fact they were the only one of the big 3 parties not to want £9000 tuition fees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browne_Review The Browne Review was set up by Labour in 2009, but did not report until after the 2010 General Election. No party won the election outright, and after negotiations the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties formed a coalition government. The Coalition Agreement gave the Liberal Democrats, who had campaigned against fee increases, the right to abstain from any vote to increase tuition fees. In this case, the effective majority of the Conservatives would fall to 24, meaning that the government could potentially be defeated by a rebellion of 12 of its own MPs. Labour David Miliband was the only candidate in the Labour leadership election to reject a graduate tax Lord Mandelson, the former Business Secretary who set up the review into higher education funding, hinted in July 2009 at a tuition fee rise stating that excellence in higher education was "not cheap" and that the country "had to face up to the challenge of paying for excellence".[12] The Labour Party manifesto for the 2010 General Election promised extra University places but made no commitment on how much students would have to pay. During the Labour Party leadership election in 2010 following the resignation of Gordon Brown both Ed Balls[13] and the eventual winner Ed Miliband came out in support of a graduate tax as a method of funding universities in the future.[14][15] David Miliband was the only candidate in the leadership election not to support a graduate tax.[16][17] Conservatives and Liberal Democrats The Conservatives have said that they will "consider carefully" the outcome of the review. In June 2010 David Willets stated that under the current arrangements students were a "burden on the taxpayer that had to be tackled" although he also stated he did not want to pre-empt the findings of Lord Browne.[18] The Liberal Democrats have traditionally supported free higher education but downgraded this pledge because it was seen to be an unaffordable spending commitment.[19] The Liberal Democrats had promised to abolish tuition fees over 6 years.[20] All the elected Liberal Democrat MPs,[21] as well as a number of others, also signed the NUS Vote for Students pledge, promising to vote against any proposed increase in fees.

About as pointless as Labour ever fielding a candidate in Scotland ever again!
