I'm sick of the general election already

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

my fav bit of politics for the day.

Both Con and Lib both ask for an investigation into if the war was legal.

So you just thought you would ask now? because an election is around the corner?

lets be honest then you didnt care if it was legal or not, you just thought you would use it now to your advantage.

At least Blair has the conviction to stand by his words!

Wow what an utter lack of integrity on behalf of the other two.

of course you require half a brain to see this.

My fav bullsit of the whole thing so far.

Try Health care system:if you are rich its now half price!!!
-erm how stupid is that...

But they havent spoken about it much lately untill M.Howard decided that he would bring it uptoday aswell.

Its not that I dont agree with it, but I find the integrity it a bit crap.
Well M.Hopward more to be honest. using it now is like saying you dont really care, but it will help my party get elected.

Be fair, they don't think it's directly an election issue (nobody's saying that the war will decide which wat they vote), so they've been focusing on other things recently. Mostly to remind us of how else their policies differ from Labour and the Tories. Election campaigns work by highlighting each issue one at a time so you don't confuse the electorate. That means that they'll shut up about something until either they try to bring it up according to their timetable, or another party bring it up. If the Lib Dems had been constantly going on about it, then someone would be complaining that they never shut up about the issue.

And yes, it certainly looks like a lack of integrity on the Tories part to be bringing up the war, as if they'd have done anything different to Blair.

I was bored of the election (especially as the MP in my seat is the Speaker of the House - points to those who know why this makes the election round my area especially boring) until I played this game!111oneone etc
