The joke here is that during Cameron's first PMQ against Blair, he said to Blair " you were the future once"

[alfiegreen]

Look at Theresa little did she know she'd be the next pm

This really is the beauty of YouTube, I don’t know why news interviews with politicians aren’t just playing clips like this and getting the politician to explain wtf happened

[percentnation]

You know, I just realised that Cameron is standing next to William Hague, a past Tory leader, & Theresa May, a future one! What a coincidence!

[nigelbenn]

Damn, to think of the damage the Tories have done since then.

[Dron]

Politics were never great but wow how things have gone down the pan since...

[knightman]

Well i can tell ya one thing if you live in America and you turn on C-span you would probably be asleep in a few seconds but these guys in the House of Commons know how to entertain.

[leeterry]

“NI is a tax on jobs”…. Someone needs to tell Boris

Look at them in 2010 talking about the economic crash when ten years later, the economic disaster is much, much, much worse. At least back then, we had a credible PM now it's just a clown.

[ome]

Interesting, both ended up being wrong, Brown successfully saved the country from complete economic collapse, whilst Cameron later became the PM.

[obscene]

American here. I like the way your politicians face off on two different sides with their party members behind them and talk shit, really interesting.

One other thing too: even on a local level, First Past the Post awards most seats without any kind of distinct mandate being achieved. Currently, over two thirds of MPs have less than majority support in their own constituency.

Who loved it when Conservative were the opposition

[SamuelMoseleyIsFreak]

He has got slightly better, I have been voting Labour for 10 years but I would still prefer Cameron for another 4 years. Miliband is pretty useless to be honest.

[haydensidun]

The irony is that David Cameron would become prime minister the following month

[PointlessAardvark]

But this is precisely my point - I live in a Lib Dem/ Tory marginal, and nobody here wants the Lib Dems again. But if we don't want the Tories, we'll have to vote Lib Dem anyway. If half of us voted Labour - and that was replicated all around the country in Lib Dem seats - the ONLY end result would be to strengthen the Tories. Also, I think you're wrong about AV - it does work in on a local level, just like FPTP. Localism is great, but it makes it unfair nation-wide IMO.

[PointlessAardvark]

Afraid I don't know about the stats. But no, MPs don't need a majority of the electorate. If 5 other candidates got 15% each, and a 6th got 25%, the 6th would win the seat and the remaining 75% of voters would count for nothing. As I've said, my main problem is that, as long as more people in my area vote for Party X, my vote for Party Y is worth exactly nothing on a national level. I just feel people should be free to choose without worrying about how the people living near them will vote.

Any complaints

Labour’s policies of building less social housing than Thatcher, and giving tax breaks to landlords and a deregulated mortgage market have all made the cost of housing rocket.Labour’s love of the market has pushed millions into fuel poverty. Like you said they increased foreign aid in places where the economies were substantially better off than us while our pension system was completely and utterly destroyed from a rookie Brown error.
