We all are. It's called having an opinion.

But believe it or not, I'm fairly happy otherwise with how the Government is doing. The £10,000 Tax Bracket ought to help me personally, which is a good thing. Plus since I don't claim a penny in benefits, I'm only gaining.

But it still amuses me that Cameron has already renegged on something, when it was pretty obvious just a soundbite at the time.

I tend not to follow politics, because stuff like this happens and it irritates me.

They're all liars and swindles, IMO.

Yes, but your opinion is that Cameron is a wash-out based on a piece of politick. He made it sound like he would offer a referendum to reverse the Lisbon Treaty in order to placate some of the more rabid euroskeptics in his party. He was still in a period when he felt he needed to 'take the party with him' at that time. It's probably his biggest failing - he shouldn't have cared, he should have just continued to broaden the party's appeal and tried not to worry about the fringe. But he DID clarify his position prior to the election, so what's the big deal? Let me ask you a question - did you still vote Labour at the last election? Even after the dodgy circumstances surrounding the Iraq war, suggestions of complicity in torture, extraordinary rendition, cash for peerages, massive immigration problems...? Blair and Brown were involved in some pretty serious deceptions - did you consider them 'wash-outs' too? Or did you just vote along tribal lines?
