Worst PM in my lifetime. No contest.
I take it you recall the mess of Callaghan?
I recall Macmillan.
Thatcher was head and shoulders the worst.

Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect.
Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff...

Mainly it's because everyone's sick of the main-stream parties

They are sick of Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems so they go and vote for the racists?
No, I don't think that is the reason.

Why are people sick of the Lib Dems? They haven't had a go at fucking the country up yet.

Well on the news they interviewed political people about it and they said people are voting BNP because of their anger at MP's expenses

And the Lib Dems have been touched by the expenses scandal too.
Personally I think those people were lying. There are other parties they could have voted for... UKIP, the Greens, the English Dems... no, they voted BNP because they are racist.

I think they'd like to think that, a quick fix and everyones voting for red, blue and yellow again. Xenophobia and dis-like of immigrants in Britain has been around for many years and has recently exploded becuase of the recession and MPs expenses, but the problem runs deep.

Exactly so. All this bollocks about the BNP voters not being racist is just that - bollocks.

Well, if you consider the history of the Liberal Party as part of their background, has that party screwed anything up?
