Bollocks to that I say. They didn't ask me!

SantaStuckinmyhoover · 04/01/2011 20:16

or me...Wink

Ha ha ha. He's not done anything yet. Wait until this time next year.

frozenfestiveflo · 04/01/2011 21:23

what a load of bollocks!

mycounty · 04/01/2011 21:33

Not surprised Red Ed scored only 9 percent,
he has the charisma of an alley cat! Grin

LadyBlaBlah · 04/01/2011 21:37

Gordon Brown and Anne Widdecombe were joint third.

Do we really need to continue with the credibility of this survey?

TCOB · 04/01/2011 21:38

I fucking hate DC enough to cancel out all the positive votes Grin

LadyBlaBlah · 04/01/2011 21:39

although this is a fairly robust survey

I see Vodafone voted vigorously for the Tories as their preferred party on the economy...

I once imagined having sex with David Cameron

I have never been the same since.

longfingernails · 04/01/2011 21:43

Labour are going to do very well in the polls until at least 2014. It won't mean much.

This one doesn't mean much either - but it is always fun to wind up socialists.

Quite seriously, though, I do think EdM is going to have to develop some sort of identifiable personality if he is to get anywhere at all. If he keeps up the "earnest student politician" vibe, he will just continue to be ignored.

couldnt actually win an election outright though could he? despite his party being 13 years in opposition

LadyBlaBlah · 04/01/2011 21:45

And David Cameron will always win the "most popular politcian" vote because he is the most famous. It don't mean much Wink

As Krisskross rather timely points out, if he is that popular he should have won the election.

longfingernails · 04/01/2011 21:48

No. A lot of the failure to win a majority was his own fault - though he has definitely made the best fist of it since.

However, you have to bear in mind at all times the mammoth power of the BBC at the which is always at the left's disposal.

Just today, for instance, Alan Johnson, the Shadow Chancellor, said on the Today programme that Labour would eliminate the structural deficit by 2015 (thereby agreeing with the coalition plan). He then reversed himself and said he got it totally wrong.

What would the BBC have done if Osborne had made such a monumental cockup? Yet it isn't even on the front page of their website.

Kriss - I'm glad you mentioned that - the fact that he hasn't even got a mandate to run the country does rather seem to have been swept under the carpet. It's considered a little unpatriotic to criticise, I think - after all WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 04/01/2011 21:49

Tony Blair was very popular in his day too...

longfingernails · 04/01/2011 21:52

Tony Blair never lost a general election.

Yet every Labour member I know detests him as a "sellout" or something. Ed Miliband seems determined to forget every election winning strategy Tony Blair devised.

Always fun to wind up socialists? Just because one doesn't vote Tory does not make one a socialist. More ignorance from LFN.

mycounty · 04/01/2011 21:58

Ladyblabla. You point out voting intentions and not who is the most popular politician as we speak.

As far as looks and charisma are concerned David does come out tops, followed IMO by Clegg,Miliband and then the two ugly sisters,
Brown and Widdecombe.

Ms. Widdecombe although not aethestically pleasing, is still a virgin and has very high morals, not wanting her knickers pulled down by any old geezer. In fact she will sue any paper that says she is not a virgin. Unlike Casanova Clegg, who reports he has slept with at least 15 and at least one of those women was sober when he carried out the deadly deed, of the beast with two backs!

I feel therefore that Cameron is also morally superior as he has stayed with the same women for donkeys years.

No, I'm not surprised he is the most popular.

That picture of him looks like it was taken at Madame Tussauds...

LadyBlaBlah · 04/01/2011 21:59

I don't detest Tony Blair

THis BBC thing really is your own delusion LFN. Cameron and Osbourne have got away with murder since they got in by the skin of their teeth.
