Isn't this more accurate?

oaf - you haven't forgotten you voted tory have you?

[oafc0000]

oaf - you haven't forgotten you voted tory have you?

Only in the local elections... You realise the difference or you still struggling ?

[oafc0000]

i can't see the pic, but surely the local person that you voted for is a member of the tory party. perhaps you meant tory government?

[oafc0000]

I realise you voted tory. What am I struggling to understand? You voted tory. I understand that. The tory you voted for is the exact same tory party you highlight in the title of this thread. You don't think there are two tory parties do you?

And to complicate matters. You voted tory at the local elections because they kept you council tax down. That means they cut spending on services that would affect the poorest the most. It is exactly the same thing as the government are doing.

[llcoolphil]

I voted Tory at the local elections for many reasons... Its actually a Lib Dem controlled council with an input from the Tories if you want to get your facts straight.

Future Tory Voter?

[oafc0000]

For many reasonms now was it? It changes everytime you speak about it. You still voted tory though.

[llcoolphil]

and you voted Lib... Well done you

[oafc0000]

Aye I did. But I didn't vote tory.

[llcoolphil]

Maybe not directly but you might as well

[oafc0000]

Er no. Voting Lib Dem is not the same as voting tory. Good try though - Id be embarrassed ion your place too.

[llcoolphil]

You keep believing that...

another oaf and phil love in.

[oafc0000]

[ampersand]

Well, if everyone who voted lib dem had voted tory, we would have a majority tory government. As we have a coalition, it's not at the tricky end of the scale of things to keep believing

[llcoolphil]

[llcoolphil]

not as simple as that though. what if they all voted labour?

[ampersand]

I was reminding him whilst he was busy slagging the tories off that he had actually voted tory. And has no problem with that. You've read the rest of the thread - who do you think was being constructive and who do you think was hurling abuse? You've seen the other thread too where people other than me and sifi have challenged oaf today. Out of those people, who do you think was being constructive and who do you think was hurling abuse?

This is a thread about politics and ysterday you complained about threads about politics. WTF are you reading it for - and if you have nothing constructive to add to the thread, are you just fishing for a reaction?

It was obvious before a single vote was cast that a coalition was going to happen and from Cleggs avoidance on the subject it was going to be a coalition with the Tories, a vote for the lid dems was always a vote for the tories, to not expect it was naivety. The only thing really to consider was how much of a c**t Clegg was going to turn into when he tasted a little power. Almost makes me miss the one eyed c**t.

However much of c**t Clegg is, it's still the case that he's managed to knobble a little of tory policy. So in that sense I'm glad there's the coalition, because while the difference might be small, unfettered toryism would be worse.
