Man in political party disagrees with man in other political party
THE world of politics was rocked today when a man from one political party said that he 'disagreed' with a man from another political party.
The man, speaking to an undercover reporter, unleashed the shock revelations that will send shockwaves through Westminster, saying: "He's in a different party, so we don't agree on every single thing, even though we're in a Coalition. To be honest there are some fundamental differences between us. Ooh, and he's got a funny nose! Tee hee."
One political reporter, barely able to conceal his stiffening erection, said: "This just goes to show the fundamental fault-lines at the heart of the Coalition. It's almost as if ministers have to vote in favour of Government policy, regardless of whether they agree with it or not, which has never happened before in the history of the world ever.
"It's almost as if people in the same party might sometimes disagree on things, as well, yet not say in public that they do, for some reason.
"These revelations will really put the cat among the pigeons and return the Conservative Party to its rightful place as the dominant force in... oh."
A voter said: "I couldn't care less. When are you coming to grit my roads? Eh? Eh? Where are the gritters? Eh? Eh? Where are they then? I pay my bloody taxes!"

It’s alomost as if Cameron and Clegg didn’t give that cutesy speech right at the formation of the coalition explicitly stating that there were places where the parties disagreed and that wasn’t going to change…

Yeah this “reporting” is getting old fast. Honestly, who gives a shit what one MP says about another MP. They are there to represent their constituents interests, not to play happy families.
It is beginning to look like the media has forgotten what politics is supposed to be about! Imagine an MP with an opinion that differs from the cabinet line….ridiculous! Sack them all!!!

The press are getting better and better at creating self-fulfilling prophecies. They’ve been doing it for years with economics, with headlines such as “Unsteady markets may lead to a recession” or “Investors leaving Euro as value drops” which usually have the effect of making the markets even more unsteady, or even more investors to leave the Euro as they get scared which makes the value drop even further, respectively.
They do it with sport, especially football, too. A manager could win 10 games in a row against the best teams in the world, but lose just one to a mediocre, or better still virtual unkown, and the press will start with the headlines like “Club insiders unhappy with manager’s recent performance” and “Could manager be for the sack after embarassing defeat to minnows”.
Since the coalition started (or even before, when it was still being negotiated) the press have had the knives out for it, often shrieking hysterically about how it’ll never work, and how when it falls apart (not if, but when) it’ll leave us even worse off than before. Add to this the desire of polititians of all colours to pander to the popular press for fear of being singled out and subjected to media-hate campaigns and you end up with the situation we have now, where they try to project this outward image of solidarity and unity of purpose, even though anyone with half a brain must realise there’s bound to be all kinds of bitter behind doors fighting over policies, while the press poke and poke and poke looking for any percieved weakness that they can exploit.
Essentially what it boils down to is the papers despise success, because it doesn’t make for as interesting a story as abject failure, and if they need to occasionally nudge things in the right direction with some rhetorical headlines, or by setting up a fallible human being in a compromising way, so be it…

Anyone – Lib Dem MP or not – who says that George Osborne has not at some point occupied their nose is deluded, Tory or both.
Bah humbug!
