The debate with the prospective candidates for Chancellor of the Exchequer will be live on Channel4.com from 8pm - the first televised debate with politicians before the General Election.

i think you will find they already know what questions they are going to be asked and already have answers ready for them,plus it's also who can lie the best cause they are going to tell you one thing and as soon as they are in power do another

Do you think they'd answer this question:- If someone who worked for you was consistantly underperforming, and continually promising improvement which did not materialise, would you dispense with their services, or persist with them to the obvious detriment of all parties involved?

iain wright?

Is the best thing to happen to this town for years

FACT!!

It wasn't funny the first time that you posted it.

Merely repeating it at every given opportunity still won't make it funny.

Hope that helps.

Im actually in that position & the answers is we throw as much money as possible at them whilst treating good people like shite.

He'll still walk the election though, won't he

And rather then blame the Labour voters for being blind and voting for the monkey with a red rosette, take a look at the Tories who still can't make any inroads regardless of how bad the local Labour party appears to be

And the Tories won't win the election, how shite does that make them nationally?


HTH, FWIW and TIA

Aye but thats down to the brain dead who vote Labour simply because they are the party of the working classes. It's not true of course, it hasn't been for at least a generation but their grandad told them so.

To be honest I can't see any different between the two main parties, Labout has moved right and the Tories gone left to meet them. Now you couldn't get a fag paper between them and its all come down to marketing and personalities.

The Conservatives will win overall of course but that not because of any superior manifesto or idelogical superiority, its going to be more down to the political capital the papers have invested in Cameron. News international have publically backed the tories and cannot do anything other than run an enormous campaign to get them elected.

I'm voting Liberal because Vince Cable is the only one amongst the whole shower I trust.

My Grandad told me he shot down a German Bomber with a brick, I now doubt that was true

This 'they'd vote for a monkey in a red rosette' thing is often repeated like it only happens in Labour constituencies. Since I moved to Richmond I've had many conversations with people in pubs where in every aspect of their personality and opinions they are of the left .And yet they all vote conservative, all of them. In 3 years I haven't met a labour voter who is 'out of the closet'.

I'm certain that there is an equivalent in the south-east where blind instinctive tory voting takes place to balance out the unquestioning labour support in the north.

The tragedy of it is the tories never forget their own when in power. This labour government has shamefully neglected its core vote.

I was not refering to our M.P. when I made this statement, rather the bloke in charge of team affairs as you could put it.

Emigrate.

It's fooked.

So who will you be voting for PoK

I think I've decided more or less already. I'm voting Labour. The Conservatives have got no substence.

They say they are the party of change, but I think it's just jumping on the bandwagon after President Obama's election to be honest.

If the debate was anything to go by, the thought of George Osbourne as Chancellor worries me.

I think I will vote Lib Dems, it wont matter as Labour will get in at Hartlepool, but I want to get their majority down and voting Tories in Hartlepool is just mad.
