An invitation to join the government of Britain

We've got big problems in this country and the truth is politicians can't do everything on their own. We need your energy, your ideas, your passion to get this country moving.

We've got big problems in this country, and one of those problems are politicians.

the problem is if we don't vote this lot back in we'll be lumbered with the useless incompetent lazy pocket lining freaks that we've just got rid of. damned if do damned if we don't,but i think we have to give Cameron a bit longer to prove himself, he has to clean up the mess the birdbrains that went before made,they left us virtually bankrupt

fabulous in theory, wonderful rhetoric, so what went wrong

I am so proud and delighted that Cameron has not been able to sell this hogwash to the British public. We are clearly a great deal smarter that he thought. No one will ever vote for this man again. Big Society is exactly as the acronym suggests BS!

I don't think most landlords are toffs nor are they screwing tenants necessarily. A lot of property is privately owned by families for whom it is their sole residence. I think the notion that the Conservative party is in the hands of toofs is pretty laudable (Osbourne and Cameron had no influence on what their parents did or what school they went to).

@charlesfisher757 It goes without saying you need a lot of less well off people to support a few rich - Many Conservatives (party members) suggests no quantity only a ratio of those who form the total - what I do know is this property prices and poverty made fortunes for a FEW! not the many. Cow to your betters, and tip a hat to the toffs if you wish for they rule by divine right of nobility and class with their duck houses and moats, the only thing worse to me is a Labour MP. SOCIAL MOBILITY!!!

@charlesfisher757 QED - 70% of the land is owned by 1% of the population, 90% of the people live on less than 10% of the land. 30%: Aristocrats, nearly a third of Britain in the hands of the toffs. 15%: Private landowners, everything from golf courses, stud farms and celebrity new rich land AGAIN: Many Conservative (party members) enjoy a living off the backs of hard working people with their extortionate rents, inflated property values and lavish second homes paid for by the tax payer QED!

@ej8113 You have to appreciate that the number of Conservative party members is very little - somewhere around 150,000. That means only about 1 in 70 Conservative voters are actually members of the party. Unfortunately, I think that recently the Conservative party leadership has lost its vision and appreciation for the aspiring class. The thing is that there are actually very few toffs and arrogant landlords as you suggest; most Tory members are the middle class voters who can afford a £25 fee.

@charlesfisher757 I should have qualified that with Conservative Party Members (not voters) and believe me across Britain I've seen enough CONSERVATIVE PARTY MEMBERS to know what I'm talking about - The thankful for the council house to buy option voter of Thatcher generation is in decline, many what you'd call natural Conservatives have left and gone abroad fed up HIGH HOUSE PRICES -
