    Politicians still haven't learnt..

    In the past week and a bit it seems that politicians worldwide are as equally as thick as Camoron.

    Examples:

    Italy - Vain PM, part of a group who earns 6 times the average Italian salary, holds a referendum. The people tell him to p*ss off

    Austria - Opposition complain election results were irregular so first presidential election results annulled. They vote again and the leftie candidate wins again.

    UK - Vain MP holds by-election. The people tell him to p*ss off.

    Gambia - Dictator holds elections. The people tell him to p*ss off and elect a former Argos security guard instead.

    Even worse like Camoron, but unlike Clinton, each of these cretins could have avoided the humiliation as they didn't need to ask the people and go to the polls.

    Um. The Gambia result is very positive because the dictator has conceded defeat, so it's possible the transition of power will be bloodless. Or are you suggesting he should have held on to power and not have elections?
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Neither does the Queen. Historically, the opponent’s on the royal family have their heads cut off, collective punishment, villagers hung not to mention land taken away from farmers and common land given to cronies.

        Maybe it was rash of Zac Goldsmith to nail his colours to the mast concerning the Heathrow Airport expansion, but unlike most politicians at least he did what he said he would do if the expansion was approved.

        Let's hope the Heathrow flightpaths are adjusted in future so the noisiest planes go right over Richmond every couple of minutes. That'll teach the ungrateful feckers to vote Lib Dem!

          To want power, you have to be an unpleasant thick moron.

          It holds true for CUK too....

            Zimbabwe has elections but like in North Korea only one party ever wins...

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                Zac Goldsmith decided to run as an independent and no Tory party candidate was put forward. What's the point of having an independent MP when all the candidates with party machines behind them didn't want Heathrow expansion?

                  The guy who lost got to power without blood being spilt so there is a good chance of a bloodless hand over.

                  We can just hope they turn out like Ghana.
