Election 2010

Below is a few anecdotes that has made me realise why a 'hung parliament' IS necessary? 

(We will) hardwire fairness into British society." Nick Clegg. Nonsensical tripe from Ming Campbell's diary, the same day his BT broadband was installed. 

"We aren't making you any promises, that is why you can trust the promises we are making." David Milliband, (epitomises why he has a bright future in politics) 

"Brothers and Sisters......;" this is how Harriet Harman opening her speech to the 'Black' voter. Yes, it is on YouTube, fifty seconds in. bringing shrieks of incredulity and a chorus of groans and winces; she carried on haplessly stating she is called Harriet Harman in a slow deliberate manner.

David Cameron claimed to have spoken to a 'black man;' live on one of the TV debates. He made out he was his best friend when dealing with an immigration question. He's obviously moved on from hugging hoodies. Yet all front-line Tories look as pasty as the bureaucratic photocopier in Whitehall who hasn't seen the light of day since John Major mistakenly left a window open, after shouting at a Bus driver asking how Middlesex were doing in the cricket.
