Role on the election!
Oh and, thank you Labour, for Minimum Wage, banning fox hunting, maintaining confidence in our economy and making sure it came out of recession, to name a few.
I believe that the markets fell in response to the talk about Cameron coming in!

Thank you Gordon for being the only figure in politics at the moment, who is standing by your principles. You’re a man of honour, dignity and substance.

For ploughing millions into schools and hospitals. For being an antidote to the style over substance politics of Blair and Cameron. For generally trying to make the country a better place.
