Dave Spart Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 That's almost certainly true, but so is every other party from what I can see. Yep, and this is one of the key problems with representative democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain'ard Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Nah mate...it's the boundries innit! Tories have always needed to get over 40% of the vote for a majority...Labour is in the 30s for a majority. Mind you, the Tories have done very well to go from a rump party and back to the biggest party in Parliament! But 100+ seats was a rather tall order in one election! In 2001 the were virtually unelectable and the core vote kept them alive...with a gain of one seat. Howard didn't fair any better in 2005! So yes it was a huge challenge and in comparison to previous elections, they did very well and scored more seats than the Thatcher landslides! Hers were bit by bit up until 1987. Wouldn't it be easier on us all if you just blamed Jonn Major for letting in Labour. He was dignified when he got beaten by a landslide. He went to watch the cricket. much in the same spirit Gordon Brown is off to play Rugby and break some F****ers neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
