If it's December, it must be DDP decision time.

 

One I've cut (I promised to myself to have 40 to choose my final 20 from on December 1st) is South African politician Mario Oriani-Ambrosini. He has terminal cancer and will likely die in 2014, but I really, really don't think he'll get the relevant obit. Good luck to those who go with him.http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2013-11-01-the-politics-of-cancer-mario-oriani-ambrosinis-personal-odyssey/

The Currant Bun's list of so-called "laziest MPs" (which has cause a brouhaha because one of them was in fact on maternity leave - curiously just a few months after being elected!) also included some allegedly "seriously ill" MPs...

MP Paul Goggins preforms the deadpooling equivalent of leaping in to bed with Michael Schumacher.

Eh, once hopefully Scotland do the right thing, how on earth do you ever ever ever imagine Labour, new or otherwise, getting a grip on power in London?

Neil Kinnock was ahead of Thatcher many times during the 1980s. In fact, I would dare say "most" of the time. (Although I'm not old enough to personally remember). And he still got whooped twice. So yeah, polls don't necessarily m,ean that much mid-term.

 

Although, obviously Cuntmeron is not even in the same sport as Thatcher, nevermind league.

Exactly.Camerons no Thatcher (ie he couldn't lead a poodle on a walk round the garden) and no matter how poor Miliband is,he's not going to do a good impersonation of a football hooligan the week before the election like Kinnock did in 92 (I assume)!

Sadly Scotland won't vote for independence .Not this year anyway.Why they'd throw away a god given opportunity like this to free themselves of the tories forever baffles me though. :scratchhead:

No but he does a good impression of a slimy little Marx-worshipping dweeb who probably doesn't even know who Winston Churchill is, and would sign over everything to Emperor Van Rompuy on day 1, then move out of no. 10 and into his new job as "Regional Tsar of Britanniaville" or whatever, and have the houses of parliament turned into a museum/tourist attraction.

 

So that might put a lot of people off.

Er....... actually I'm hoping that some kind of apocalypse happens, or an anarchist revolution breaks out before 2015 just to relieve me of the agony of having to choose which one is least awful.

You would need to borrow the Tardis to vote for either ''Labour'' or its ethics.....

[H]ave the houses of parliament turned into a museum/tourist attraction.

 

That'd be an improvent.
