But in the spirit of fairness it would be supremely churlish to deny he has done an outstanding job in getting the country back on track without creating mass unemployment. Something that according to Balls, Blanchflower and other left wing nutters said could not be done.
Well he has done it and deserves much credit for doing so.
The way he has been attacked by the Kinnochios shows that you realise it to.
I'm curious.
You think he has done an outstanding job of governing.
But it's not going to change your vote.
Can you explain your reasoning?
Certainly.
I am a UKIP supporter and whilst I am very happy to give credit where it is due, including Brown keeping us out of the Euro, I will vote for what I truly believe in.
That includes full withdrawal from the EU and the reinstatement of grammar schools to give bright working class kids a chance.
I assume that you are in favour of the re-introduction of secondary moderns for the 75% that don't make the grammar school.
Yes, they can't be worse than the current comprehensives.
Out of interest, do you have children who go to comprehensives?
didn't Ed Milliband talk about a new type of politics?
More BS from Labour then.
Could this backfire on ed ?
It's very revealing of EdM's lack of faith in his own people that he feels the need to employ a dodgy , discredited but competent propagandist like Campbell.
As opposed to Cameron employing Lynton Crosby who masterminded the failed 2005 election campaign
Crosby as being through the grinder,just hope ed as brought the disgusting Campbell back.

My youngest is 29 so no.
But my eldest granddaughter is now 20 and she did and to be fair it was good. But then again we are in Bucks where the whole education system is good.
Do you have any children at grammar school?

What is a bad job? The fact that I wont tell you who I am or where I live? I didn't realise that there was some compulsion on this site to provide those details. Am I missing something here? People post on here their interpretation of polls, the current political position of all parties, and it seems now and again betting posts (within the site rules) and people respond as such(again within site rules). The fact that some people think it gives you some kind of credibility, on a messageboard, is foreign to me and I really don't give a flying what people think of what I post. The way some people get excited on here over the simple things is actually quite amusing.
By the way I apologise if you really are Stuart McCall, then obviously you have posted who you really are, and I think you were a cracking footy player and gave me some of my best days watching footy.

What is a bad job? The fact that I wont tell you who I am or where I live? I didn't realise that there was some compulsion on this site to provide those details. Am I missing something here? People post on here their interpretation of polls, the current political position of all parties, and it seems now and again betting posts (within the site rules) and people respond as such(again within site rules). The fact that some people think it gives you some kind of credibility, on a messageboard, is foreign to me and I really don't give a flying what people think of what I post.

No problem, however,that is all it is, a bit of rubbing it in on a messageboard. It means nothing. In reality, for the majority on here unless you go to the meetings at Dirty Dicks or wherever you will never know or meet the people on here.Or you have met them outside of here, like I have OGH a few times, and I bet he hasn't got the foggiest who I really am, which in reality is the best way to keep it. Too many people seem to lose the fact of this on a thread about Osbornes popularity, whether Ed is crap or the oncoming Labour government ;-)

Just looking back at the now usual negative Conservative threads on PB over the last few days, even following George Osborne's optimistic Autumn Statement they have come thick and fast. Got to admit it, I will laugh like a drain if the Conservatives manage to win a majority of even one on the back on an improving economy because the electorate couldn't risk another Labour Government this soon. Might cause a wee bit of an Oops moment here though, as even the possibility is no longer factored into the narrative of most of the threads to make things a bit more interesting or challenging like the old days on this site.
"'Homeopathy obsessive MP is out of touch with voters'
A Tory MP has been accused of obsessing over fringe issues after raising the use of homeopathy in farming in Parliament.
David Tredinnick has been criticised for submitting an Early Day Motion about a Yorkshire farmer's use of alternative remedies on his flock of sheep.
Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Bosworth Michael Mullaney says his Tory rival has got his priorities wrong and is wasting taxpayers' money by bringing up the issue at Westminster.
He says Mr Tredinnick, a long-time advocate of homeopathy and herbal medicines, is failing to focus on matters important to his constituents."

Since there's so little difference between the two parties on the issues they always argue about like the economy, it would be better if they switched the parties around and realigned every five years on some different area of division. I want a rationalism vs pseudo-science election.
I don't why people bother to start Twitter feeds if they're not going to use them.
So that they are ready to use if and when they want to use them. When I joined Twitter (in April 2011) it was 2 days before I decided what my first tweet would be; it was quite daunting at first because I didn't know what Twitter was "for". I still don't, of course, but that's beside the point.

When LAB was facing double digit polling deficits in the 2008/2009 period we never had threads on the possibility that Gordon Brown could lead his party to a majority.
Also take a look at the threads on AS day - those were taking the big speech as positives for the Conservatives. It was only when the first poll was negative for the party that this became the focus.

"I will laugh like a drain if the Conservatives manage to win a majority "
Mike, been around this site since it almost began, you used to not only report the consensus, but also challenge it to shake up the debate. Go back and look at your own earlier threads. Now, you run an uneven site that almost totally ignores the Westminster third party and its travails, instead preferring to do a Dan Hodges in reverse when it comes to the Conservatives.
Only here, challenging or questioning you like you do Dan Hodges on twitter could get you banned from this site these days. Been saddened by the arbitrary way some interesting posters have been banned solely for disagreeing with you in recent times while others regularly ignore your decrees with only an occasionally very weak slap on the wrist as a result. You talk about the site being driven by numbers, so don't blame the messenger while most polling data these days is coming from online sources. We are now moving into unknown territory with the move from face to face/phone polling to that of online surveys. I think you are taking a huge risk assuming they have got this methodology right. So in a way, yes, I am quite legitimately questioning the messenger on this site.

"I will laugh like a drain if the Conservatives manage to win a majority "
What will you do if they don't ?
Blame someone else. Probably the BBC.
The decline and fall of the once mighty Conservative & Unionist Party is always someone else's fault. Never their own.
@fitalass I find it very hard making any case for a CON overall majority based on current polling. Not only are the Tories some way behind but they’re got to get a lead of 7-11%.
It might be that the polls are all wrong and I would hope to be the first to spot such trends if that were to happen.
In November 2009 I ignored the polling that the gap between CON and LAB was getting closer and almost until the end took the view that Cameron would get a majority.
My view is that the best the Tories can hope for is another hung parliament with them getting most seats. I have bets on another CON-LD coalition at 9/1
Mike, despite the constant rewriting of history by some posters on this site using puerile nicknames. I often questioned the ability of the Conservatives to overcome that electoral mountain they faced at the last GE to achieve a majority. I remember JackW doing a couple of articles for you, and even questioning him on the fact that I thought Alastair Darling as a high profile Cabinet Minister in the Treasury was then surely utterly safe in Edinburgh as a result despite the polls. I also questioned and ruled out your assumption that Nigel Farage ever stood a chance in John Bercow's seat the day you posted an article suggesting the possibility as well.
You and I have in the past chatted on twitter about how the online polls exaggerated the Cleggism bounce in the online polls far more than the phone polls like ICM did. Do you remember the criticism you piled on Easteross when he suggested the Libdems were going to take a real hit in the lead up to last GE, he was in the end proved right. And I still reckon he deserves a thread from you acknowledging that fact by the way. But most of all, I would like to see you unban some of the genuine and polite critics who simple question or hold an opposing view from you and dared to question you, especially when you constantly ignore or deliberately lightly punish those that clearly take the p*ss with your rules on a daily basis. I really am beginning to think this very uneven and unfair moderation system is effecting the traffic that posts here these days.

I think CON-LD coalition at 9/1 is very good value. As I look at the arithmetic, it is almost certain bar one eventuality that the LD will be in coalition. That is why partly the LD's are quite calm despite the fact they will lose about a third of their MP's - even close to a half.
Clegg himself will favour a CON-LD coalition as he is beginning to learn how to use his numerical strength. It took him some time to realise that the Tories can do nowt without the LD votes !
The other eventuality is an outright Labour win [ or, a Labour most seats minority government ]which on current polls is a distinct possibility but I doubt come election time that will still be the case.

I think that overstates it. I'm not convinced Clegg would prefer Con to Lab if he was in a position to choose; Does he want an EU referendum, and if not can Cameron persuade his party to let it slide? But in any case with a smaller party the probability that he gets to choose becomes quite low, even if the probability of NOM is still quite high.
The case for continued LibServative coalition is simply that it's quite tough to shift incumbents, so if the relative Con and Lab shares don't change much you end up with very little movement in seats. A coalition then gets preferred over minority government for the same reason as in 2010: It's more stable and less chaotic for everyone concerned.
The Sunday Times YouGov numbers are starting to return to the pre-conference position - government approval up, Cameron "doing well" up and Miliband down.
They also ask who would make best chancellor for first time since June. Numbers almost unchanged: Osborne 32; Balls 22; DK/none of the above 46.
Osborne's net good job/bad job is up from -27 in June to -20.

What does happen in retail are shifting patterns within it.
For example people buy things from the internet these days with the result that many retail units instead become coffee shops.
The explosion of those things are the perfect illustration that many people have money to waste.
But my eldest granddaughter is now 20 and she did and to be fair it was good. But then again we are in Bucks where the whole education system is good.

And I still reckon he deserves a thread from you acknowledging that fact by the way.
Clegg himself will favour a CON-LD coalition as he is beginning to learn how to use his numerical strength. It took him some time to realise that the Tories can do nowt without the LD votes !
The other eventuality is an outright Labour win [ or, a Labour most seats minority government ]which on current polls is a distinct possibility but I doubt come election time that will still be the case.
The case for continued LibServative coalition is simply that it's quite tough to shift incumbents, so if the relative Con and Lab shares don't change much you end up with very little movement in seats. A coalition then gets preferred over minority government for the same reason as in 2010: It's more stable and less chaotic for everyone concerned.
Crosby vs Campbell will be a real mudslinging contest, and can only benefit the other parties.
Also it may prove a problem when Chillcot comes out.
They also ask who would make best chancellor for first time since June. Numbers almost unchanged: Osborne 32; Balls 22; DK/none of the above 46.
Osborne's net good job/bad job is up from -27 in June to -20.

Just 55% of LAB voters backed Ed Balls
@MSmithsonPB: In the crucial swing group of 2010 LD voters just 24% backed Ed Balls as best chancellor.
LD switchers are vital to LAB's chances
