Exactly. In Alberta the NDP, with only forty percent of the popular vote control just over 60% of the seats in the legislature. They pretty much have a blank cheque to pursue a left wing agenda while 60% of voters supported the right. And pissing off the oil based corporate community isn't a particularly great place to start as that's where the money comes from.
What was it Margaret Thatcher said ?
Mine was funnier."Give me the children's milk! ALL of their milk! So that I may present it as an offering to my master. Hail Satan!"
Something like that.
Actually I was thinking of the one that went something like: "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."What was it Margaret Thatcher said ?

Arguably the single dumbest, most inaccurate thing she ever said, yet fanboys still cream their jeans over it to this day.Actually I was thinking of the one that went something like: "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
Anybody with ninth-grade understanding of economics knows it's complete BS.Yeah, all the socialists hate that one. But my personal favorite is that they're going to start burying socialists only a foot deep when they die. That way they can still get their hand out.

Fish in a barrel for Mags.Well if you ever manage to progress beyond that point you'll see the truth of it.
The Tories lost because they were allowed to practice unbridled Conservatism they did what
they wanted to benefit their own segment of society and the people including many in business

Yeah, that explains why Britain has an external debt of 406% of GDP, because they're not "spending other people's money."Yeah, that's been around for awhile and it's so true!

Whilst "socialist" Germany, which "spends other people's money" like water, has an external debt of 145% of GDP.
Or, for that matter, why socialist China has an external debt of 37% of GDP, whilst the United States, probably the least socialist country in the developed world, has an external debt of 106% of GDP. Because China "spends other people's money," and the U.S. don't.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting socialism. I despise socialism. But saying socialism is bad because it spends other people's money is like saying Nazis are bad because they don't bathe. Yes, Nazis are bad. But it ain't because they don't bathe.
I agree completely. Which is not "spending other people's money." If spending other people's money is socialist, why does the Canadian Soviet Socialist Republic (just ask any American Republican) have a lower debt-as-a-percentage-of-GDP than the cruel, merciless, starve-granny-in-the-streets U.S. (just ask any Canadian Lib or NDPer, or even half of the PCs)?They are famous for taxing people to support freeloaders. We had an N.D.P. Gov't here back in the 70s and the hippies were getting a dog allowance. I'm not sure how many hippies claimed the same dog!
Was this a protest vote that got out of hand?
