Hmmm .... Ed's chances for success are then relatively small, or nonexistent

To us no they not, they are like democrats (middle left) - but by Neocon standards, they quite possibly look socialist, given the party history.
We have an actual socialist party in the Uk but they are not popular (they fall under the 'others' catagory if you know what i mean)

Hell, In the UK we have the same type of health care system that Obama is trying to introduce in the U.S (the NHS)
We brits often joke about it, but I can tell you that If any goverment tried to scrap it, there would likley be riots!

Right now we have a coalition governement, but its lead by the conservatives (middle-right) to be honest.
I actually worked in their campaign hq during the election (although Im not really a fan), but it payed the bills and it was intreasting experience none the less :).

Oh and Thatcher was a Conservative.

Would be interesting to see how 'ole Ed manages in Prime Ministers Questions.

Yeap! And I think his brother is driving the car ...

:D

LOL :DL

I heard of a bird, that taxes should be raised, that's good then maybe you can get decent service when I go there next week, :D

I heard on the radio he was a stunned seal! :o

Theres still Dave Milliband to go. :O:

His only chance is if the coalition cocks it up or falls apart. :hmmm:

I'm no longer sure what option I'd prefer :doh:

It appears to be a complex situation, :hmm2:

Raise taxes for a change so we can enjoy all of England's pubs, :rock:

Huh? :doh:

Huh, Native American language that is widely used in England, :yep:

No....what relevence does the raising of English taxes have to do with enjoying pubs?
