Christmas Don't

First of all, apologies for my absence of blogging recently, severe laptop problems, culminating in me blogging from the ILC in college. Such a drag!

Now, another FAIL of 2009:

THE LABOUR PARTY

Since the introduction of Tony Blair in 1994, New Labour seemed to steadily rise and rise in popularity, climaxing in a 12 year (and ongoing) reign. Tony Blair was prime minister for ten years (1997-2007) which, although had it's bad points, is generally regarded as a successful accomplishment for Blair and it's quite plausible to say he did a decent job. Things weren't going too bad.

Until this man came along

Gordon Brown, known by some as the Prime Minister, others as a 'one-eyed scottish idiot' took the baton from Blair in 2007 and has ran with it ever since, in the wrong direction. Subsequently Team labour have left pole position and have been overtaken on the inside lane by the crafty conservatives led by David Cameraman.

Within Brown's time leading the country, we have seen further downfall of the NHS, hundreds of soldiers dying in Iraq (many not even knowing what they are there for), the monstrous 10p tax which was about as successful as Gary Barlow's solo career, consistency in our traditional 'let anyone into the country' immigration policies, and possibly the most important, lack of preparation for the global recession.

Fair enough, I may be putting too much blame on him for that one, the global recession is effecting every country, and could not have been avoided, and of course the recession was inevitable, making his power unjust in preventing it, considering he only started in 2007. But do you know what Gordon Brown's job was before he was prime minister? Chanceller of the Exchequer. Job before that? Shadow Chanceller of the Exchequer. Sorry, am I severely unintelligent, or does the main content of that job entail supervising and reviewing the economic and financial status of our country, daily?

The 2009 By-elections seen a great gain in Conservative mps being elected locally, and the 2010 election is predicted to take the same form, with Conservatives predicted to gain the vast majority of seats in parliament and therefore Davey C will be moving into number 10.

This is further supported by The Sun's sensational change in politics, and news they are now backing the Torys to take the gold in 2010, an election which I will finally be eligible to vote in, a stunt which I have planned since I was about 12.

Cheers
