Wanted to know if anyone had seen Nick Clegg's speech at the Liberal Democrat conference. I have to say, he was a brilliant speaker and kept me going throughout his presentation.

You can watch the conference here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7621045.stm

Just scroll down to see the flash video.

I don't usually like the Lib Dems as I think that they're too right-wing for my views. However, they're the most-left party who have any sort of chance of winning the next election, especially thanks to the fall of labour.

I think their policy of tax cuts for the low-middle class, and tax hikes of the upperclass could put these guys in the good books of many unions - the very people who formed the Labour party.

Those policies would please my paretns, but here in deep south-east England, no one has any chance of beating the conservatives

 

 

 Well, they've got more of a chance in this coming election then they have ever had in the past ninety years, and that's all over the country.

Essentially, if they get their ideas out there, and people know what they're about, they might just consider voting for them. Especially in times like these, where people who usually vote Labour will be looking for the next best alternative.

I believe that the Lib Dems could have quite a good result in the northern districts, and perhaps a mediocre result everywhere else.

Hell, if they win one seat, just one seat, from the south-east, I may just sleep a little easier one day.

Yeah, I mean most of their policies I agree with, pro-EU, tax cuts, taxing wealtheir people more etc, so it would be good. However, according to his speech, he is against nuclear, which I support, and also against big military projects, which again I support, as just because Eurofighters aren't needed now, who's to say in 10 years they will be, and if we don't have any, it'll take another 10 years to get hold of some, so I still wouldn't vote for him, as I probably could next election .

However, I wouldn't mind them having more say in government.
