To think the next general election should be decided by a physical fight?

[BrahmsThirdRacket]

I can't be bothered to listen to any more lies election manifestos over the next six months. David v. Gordon punch up is the way forward. My money would be on Gordon.

I'm sure David Cameron must have done boxing at his posh school but I think Gordon would flatten him!

Thank you for making me laugh out loud on this cold and rather dreary evening.

oh yes, or at least an arm wrestle.

Will John Prescott be allowed to wade in, fists flying?

Playground, 3.30...

oooh yes, in a cage, in lycra with mud.

how absolutely vile! Starting on an even keel there, they are both fucking ugly and would look like twats.

My money's on Gordy, when it comes to it, I think he'd fight dirty, and Camera-on wouldn't want to mess up his hair. If all else failed Gordy could scare him to death with his PR homicidal maniac smile.

I reckon rock paper scissors would be a good one. nice and civilised, best of 3.

Good enough to decide on ds2's name (dh and I couldn't agree and neither of us would back down - he won!) so why not an election?

A one- legged arse- kicking contest would do it for me.

yep like two sides by frankie

i have zero confidence in any side moving on, same old same old

This is the most sensible idea I have heard in a long time

Roffle - peppa said it.

Perhaps it could be Pay Per View or like X Factor with the outcome decided by the voting public?

In order to be fair we could do rounds, so maybe Nick Clegg and Cameron first. There could be qualifiers. It could be televised. Someone (Simon Cowell?) could make a lot of money out of it.

"or like X Factor with the outcome decided by the voting public?"

sounds suspiciously like a General Election there, Mrs deWinter..

I don't care how it's done, just please let them get on with it. We've got a parliament of the undead at the mo... the house of zombies. Somebody kill them off, now!

Disappointed that it wasn't suggested on the Andrew Marr Show this am.

My vote goes for a good old fashioned shin hacking contest. First to cry loses.

It might as well be, it's about as sensible as many people's reasoning behind the way they vote

This is a fantastic idea. Can you get one of those petition things going?

I think it should be a "strictly come electioneering" special, with it decided by a grudge tango and two rumbas plus a knockout.

Then we can still all vote at the end.

Winner gets a packet of their favourites biscuits!

Yes on Harry Hill!

This thread is the best - the idea is still making me giggle

Miggsie - grudge tango - genius

sad thing is I think more people would vote if it was done on TV with a phone in vote line!!!!!

Fab idea!

I'm all for it. If you switch the contest to Fencing.

Definitely .... "there's only one way to find out ..... FIIIIIIGGGHHHHT!!!"

I just asked ds1 and he suggested a Total Wipeout Election Special - would love to see some of them hit in the goolies on the sucker punch.

Another yes vote from me.
