LibLabCon

I don’t know where or when the term ‘Liblabcon’ came into being. The American equivalent ‘Republicrat’ has been used for years in American politics.
Searching in Wikipedia; It is “…a pejorative term used by those who allege the policies of the two parties are in practice indistinguishable.” The entry continues, “An equivalent term used in the United Kingdom is LibLabCon, a pejorative portmanteau referring to the three main political parties.”
The word articulates the growing perception that Britain’s three establishment political parties are fundamentally indistinguishable. It’s an idea that strikes at the heart of the status quo. The ‘difference’ is their justification; if they’re all the same what exactly is the point of Libs, Labs, and Cons?
The mass media and the mainstream political parties have a symbiotic relationship that runs on the energy produced by what they call ‘the political debate’. The politicians provide the entertainment, the media talks about it, and the liberal establishment lives happily ever after. It’s part of the process of maintaining the status of those currently running the show; the effort always is to restrict political thinking to the establishment-approved choice. The media makes a big fuss about the trivia that differentiates Lib, Lab, and Con and presents it as confirmation of choice. At the same time it avoids the fundamentals they share and thus removes them from the political process; the idea is to have us not seeing the wood for the trees.
Liblabcon says that the Lib, Lab, Con thing has lost its momentum, that the establishment-approved choice is no choice, and that the establishment parties have become a political class which now acts primarily in its own best interest. …….it’s only recently that the parties have been seen as fundamentally indistinguishable. The melding of Lib, Lab, and Con began with the post WWII liberal consensus and continued to the point where now they share an almost identical world view and differ only on the minutiae. The term Liblabcon is recognition of this and a means of communicating it.
Britain is as it is today because of the sameness of the establishment parties not because of their difference.
The survival of the ‘big three’ is a function of their ability to maintain an impression of separateness. This is what they spend much of their time doing, telling us how different they are, and the mainstream media supports them in this by presenting them as feasible political choices. They don’t like to talk about what they have in common both because it threatens their viability as alternatives and because it brings to the fore their shared ambition for Britain, which they prefer to keep to themselves.
Yet it seems now that their cover is blown and everything they do to convince us of their difference convinces us of their similarity, exquisitely illustrated by David Cameron’s appeal for ‘new people to stand for the Conservatives - even if they’re not Conservatives’ M.Harriot

A reader has best captured the mood of public outrage at Mp's expenses by invoking Cromwell's Oratory

"It is high time for Me to put an End to your Sitting in this Place, which you have dishonoured by your Contempt of all Virtue, and defiled by your Practice of every Vice;
Ye are a factious Crew and Enemies of all good Government; Ye are a Pack of mercenary Wretches and would, like Esau, Sell your Country for a Mess of Pottage; and like Judas, betray your God for a few Pieces of Money; Is there a single Virtue now remaining amongst you?
Is there one Vice that you do not possess? Ye have no more Religion than my horse! Gold is your God: Which of you have not bartered your Conscience for Bribes?
Is there a Man amongst you that has the least care for the Good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes! Have you not defiled this Sacred Place, and turned the Lord's Temple into a Den of Thieves by your immoral Principles and wicked Practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole Nation.
Your Country therefore calls upon me to cleanse the Augean Stable, by putting a final Period to your Iniquitous Proceedings in this House, and which by God's Help, and the strength He has given Me, I now come to do.
I command ye, therefore, upon the Peril of your Lives, to depart immediately out of this Place;
Go! Get out! Make haste, ye Venal Slaves, begone!"
Oliver Cromwell 1653

This Little Piggy Went to Parliament

Fraud is Fraud. This is not the tuck shop at Eton where people are given a slap on the wrist for stealing. The Tories are as bad as Labour on this issue and the leader who has the courage and conviction to sack those that have defrauded the British Public should be the next PM. Claiming for Manure...this is beyond satire. Please visit the open letters section to see the level of public outrage.

Tory 'do nothing' approach to racism within the party may sour trans-atlantic alliance

If the New Statesman is to be believed Barack Obama called David Cameron 'a lightweight' after their first meeting. One wonders how much further the relationship
can sour if the Tory leader refuses to show the moral character to clean out the rancid grime of racism that is so ingrained in the fabric of the conservative party.
If change can come to America then such is the economic importance of the UK-US
relationship that change must come to the United Kingdom. This is particularly the case for a party that has wanted to keep its distance from Europe for fear of loss of sovereignty. Somewhere along the line however, the Tories have subconsciously confused sovereignty with significance. The conservatives should tackle racism
with the same fervour that New Labour attacked homophobia. Those openly gay Tories have been quick to forget the journey from the closet to the heart of the establishment. For what it's worth I think Britain's Obama will probably be a gay white Tory as opposed to a person from an ethnic minority simply because of the current cultural demographics within the UK.
Politeness goes a long way with the British electorate. This is certainly reflected in the popularity of politicians. If you needed proof of this you need look no further than Michael Portillo's career. He has transformed from the the arrogant poster child of the Tory party into an affable sofacosy political commentator. I suspect that even though he is less popular with the Party he is more liked by the electorate as a whole.
What is alarming is that those weaned at the very bosom of Thatcherism continue to use words like 'Golliwog' in reference to blacks and are completely oblivious to the offence that they cause. What globalisation means is that if the Tory Party wants to continue to pander to the xenophobic elements of its constituency it will regrettably be doing so at a cost to the national interest. To put it more succinctly the Tory Party should not let its sphincter prowess be used in the retentive art of anal ventriloquism for the BNP because the times, well they are indeed 'a changing'.

What Cameron Can Learn from Obama At Time Of National Economic Crisis

While there are many lessons to be drawn from both the McCain and the Obama Campaigns for team Cameron in order to win a general election one message sticks out.
There can be little doubt that if Barack's winning formula had to be crystallized into one single factor it was his cool,calm and collected approach to world wide economic crisis as opposed to McCains panic. It is here where Cameron has more resembled McCain (a much miscalculated guest speaker at Tory Party Conference) in deciding to break ranks with the government in the midst of
the Banking Crisis. It was almost as if it was too much to bear as Brown led the world
in structuring a rescue model in saving the banking system. By the Bank of England's own admission had the bailout not been handled as competently as it was the UK banking system could have entirely collapsed-a truly frightening thought even in retrospect. Cameron's panic in losing the the limelight to Brown,showed him to put party politics above the national interest.Cameron's superiority at the dispatch box
gains him few votes and Brown's superiority on all things economic has failed to win him many votes if the polls are to be believed. What the UK electorate desperately yearn for is 'change'. In the context of the UK that is a change from the politics of self interest to one of deep concern for the national interest. Both parties are guilty of very unpopular party politics but the party perceived to be delivering on
this much hungered for change in difficult times is the one the British electorate
are most likely to vote in as the next government.

The Tory's Most Ridiculous Expense Abuses

Cocaine Conservatism vs Champagne Socialism

There's something fundamentally dishonest in Cameron's assertion that he refuses to
answer questions on cocaine use as this would constitute an invasion of his privacy.
for starters,he has answered questions on the fact that he did not use it as an MP so why not be honest about the times before he became an MP.His silence on this issue may be due to the fact that 28% of voters have stated in a poll that they would be less likely to vote for him if they knew he had used the drug.His fellow Bullingdon club member(see below),Boris Johnson, has admitted that he did use the drug.the buzzword 'cocaine conservatism' ,an amoral come-what-may drive towards the fix of power may define the current opposition in the same way that the term 'champagne socialism' defined New Labour's philosophy.

david cameron's suppressed photo

This is an artist's impression of the secret bullingdon society at oxford.david cameron is second from the left on the top row.it's no wonder that the Tories were glad to see the original removed from the telegraph on the grounds that it infringed
personal copyright.The real reason is more likely to be that the it is an embarrassingly elitist club for the very rich who get their kicks from trashing a property and then trying to pay off the owner with their parents' money and connections.Another one of those facts 'call me Dave' Cameron would want to have conveniently concealed.Boris Johnson can also be seen pictured above and it has emerged that George Osborne also belonged to the Bullingdon club. What's happening to our democracy?

Tax Lunacy

3,000 of the richest estates in the country will get a benefit totalling £1 billion
under the tax proposals by a future conservative government.this kind of pandering to
the ultra elite will disenfranchise many working class people and bolster the belief
that the conservative party is a party of the rich working in the interests of the rich.The fact that The Cameron's family estate is worth in excess of £30 million pounds means that he personally will do very well out of this policy.Not since Mary
Antoinette uttered 'Let Them eat cake' has a european member of the aristocracy(yes,he's related to the queen!!)shown such outrageous avarice and contemptible ambivalence to fate of the nation's poor.

George Osborne and Russian billionaire

Brown gives Tories helping hand,but at what cost?

Brown's rejection of a slim win of say around 50 seats
has backfired and given impetus to what was an ailing party.
if we step back from the helter skelter of today's poll readings
which actually suggest that the tories have surged ahead
what seems to transpire is that some tory initiatives are attractive to
the electorate but Cameron personally is not.what looks like a knee jerk
response to browns over-politicking may be a bruise worth taking.after
all even with these impressive figures of a seven point lead the
electorate still say that Brown makes the better leader,even combined
with Darling.meanwhile the tory party,for some time accused of having no
policies have had three election type policy proposals flushed out of them.
Labour have unashamedly stolen them and have left the tories where they started
a party without any distinguishable policies from what is increasing becoming a very right wing labour party.labour may have lost this battle but have positioned
themselves better to win the war.

Camerons speech won't claw back ten point deficit

with a determined view to differentiate himself and his party
from Labour, Cameron elected not to read from an autocue but his
speech could have been scripted by anyone of Blair's old cronies.
His ceaseless effort to change brand Tory to brand Tony was only
mildly tweaked to please the octogenarians in Blackpool's Conference
Hall. While choosing to talk tough on immigration he failed to
mention that he is in essence powerless to effect change without
repealing the European human rights's laws as stipulated in the European
constitution. So Bloggers and journalists alike are left as uninspired
as an enthusiastic old Tory. We too have to rehash the same reviews.
His cappuccino politics and latte style have left him short on substance
but rich on froth. If an election were called tomorrow it would
unfortunately be a contest between Wigan and Real Madrid. Mantras
such as behaviour,behaviour,behaviour just don't have the tricolonic
punch of an education,education,education. Add that to a u-turn
on grammar schools and an Eton education for all aspiration and u
are left with a leader looking ineffective as well as unbelievable.
aside-current fees for Eton school approx £25000 per year!

Tories On Europe

'NICE-NICEY' approach not working

David cameron has come under unprecedented attack from all areas of
his party mainly due to the recent poll showing the conservatives
10 points behind labour.Cameron's strategy to portray Brown as a
continuation of Blair has failed dismally.In fact in depth perception polls
have shown that the old Iron Chancellor is associated more with the Iron Lady
wheres Cameron is associated more with Blair's brand of trying to be all things to all people.Brown does particularly well on strength and leadership.Cameron
like Blair does better on affability.of course this PR paradox has resulted in
turmoil within the party ranks.this has prompted figures such as Lord Saatchi
(PR Guru to many a tory electoral win) to slam the nicey-nicey approach Cameron has
adopted.Tory nicey-nicey won't work because it is as disingenuous as trying to
portray Brown as economically incompetent.This has not been lost on Tory Backers.Sir Tom Cowie, an entrepreneur who has given the Tories £650,000, last week accused Mr Cameron of having an "arrogant, Old Etonian" style of leadership and said he had become disillusioned".He has withdrawn financial backing of the Tory party.
the loss of money will hurt the tories less than the scathing remarks that
Cameron has come to represent an elitism which goes against the values of meritocracy,the idealogical gateway to the centre ground of uk politics.In a fight or flight response Cameron Has chosen to look Right.entertaining proposals
from john Redwood(spock) and other despicables of old.

Why Immigration will increase under Cameron

The more coherent a PM's strategy towards tackling global poverty,the less people
are likely to risk life and limb to come to the UK.Unless the Tories understand that
poverty is the root cause of the majority of the immigration in this country any draconian policy to stamp out illegal immigration is likely to fail.Given that Maastricht allows for free movement of labour within the EU,this legal type of immigration is not up for discussion.Cameron's first error was to applaud Blair
on his efforts in Africa!In fact Blair achieved very little in terms of the reduction in Global Poverty.In excess of 2 million people died in the 3rd world under Blair's watch.This is made all the worse by the fact that it happened at a time when the UK had maximium influence over US policy.Cameron's failure to understand
Africa and his tokenism on the issue of Poverty was exposed embarassingly yesterday.
A Rwandan journalist asked him what he was doing there when parts of his own constituency was facing a flood crisis.Brown on the other hand has attended fringe
meetings over the last ten years much to the surprise of some activists.He has pedigree on this matter and more crucially has made it one of the top priorities of his government.He is more likely to deliver on this issue which is of both moral and political concern,hence we are less likely to see the more desperate types of immigration that marked the Blair Years.

Party Chairman defends Tory MPs Expenses

When you silence debate on europe....

The essence of the new european constitution has been passed into law through the backdoor as a direct result of a dithering lack of vocal opposition.

our constitutional rights such as the freedom of speech have to be in tow with european sensibilities.

it may be that the type of political satire displayed on this site is deemed illegal.no doubt high profile cases will make the exact nature of the repercussions

for our day to day lives more apparent.Although any

opposition from the party that took us into europe was bound to be rebuffed,it's the total abandonment of principal for power that sticks in the throat.

Quentin Davies MP defected to the Labour party today saying of Cameron's leadership;

'It has no bedrock. It exists on shifting sands. A sense of mission has been replaced by a PR agenda."
Mr Davies added: "Although you have many positive qualities you have three, superficiality, unreliability and an apparent lack of any clear convictions, which in my view ought to exclude you from the position of national leadership to which you aspire and which it is the presumed purpose of the Conservative Party to achieve. In his letter, he wrote: "Under your leadership the Conservative Party appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything."

Dear Felicity,

Climate change is a myth propagated by the jew scientist and disseminated by the jewish controlled media.I refer you to the Daily Mail article which has correctly debunked the whole phenomenon. I have to keep my response brief,as I am beside myself with excitement at the

progress made at the G8 Heiligendamm summit,in my homeland of Germany.I earnestly believe that the plans are in place to once and for all decimate the continent of Africa.bst rgds A.H
