(2,383 posts)You have Gordon Brown's office leaving a note for Cameron's office "Sorry, there's no money left.".
I really believe, as an American ex-pat living in the UK, in terms of domestic policy, Cameron is probably more to left of Obama on very liberal issues such as gay marriage (he actually backed gay marriage before Obama) and the NHS.
Seriously WHO do you think would be the best to run this country? Please enlighten me? I've looked at all three (Brown, Cameron, and Clegg) before voting on one of them. I had a really bad viewpoint on Brown's time as PM (he spent like a drunken sailor like Bush, even though HE was the previous chancellor of the exchequer). The longer I live here, the more and more I feel all THREE of the parties (Tories, Labour, and LibDems) are very very alike with very minor differences. For an american whose major voting issues are already resolved in this country, it's very difficult to make a choice. I somewhat disagree with Cameron on Austerity measures... I'm not exactly sure if they'll work.
Conservatives in Britain are probably the Democratic Party in the US. They're really extremely liberal in terms of American politics.
Labels can be silly things sometimes.
