Manchester all point one way. The Brunswick Quay debacle emphasis the Liverpool political conflicts. All Labour councillors voted for the project, all Lib-Dems, bar one, against.
Come the next election we need to be anything other than labour, better to stay Liberal in city council and MPs or even bite the bullet and vote conservative.
Liverpool needs a Labour council. I have found they are more in tune to what the city needs to project it forwards.
Vote Tory? Are you mad? Are you a sycophant? A bunch of Eton public school boys (most of in the shadow cabinet are them) running the country for themselves? Find out how the country is run and who are the greatest beneficiaries. When you do you will never vote for them. Every social reform they have opposed and even wanted to keep hereditary peers as well.
Things will get worse after the next election. Not because of any prejudice against liverpool or the north but because the conservatives won't have any power base here. They are pragmatists after all and will look to support their own councils and MPs before dishing out the scraps to everyone else.
The Tories are a southern England countryside-centric party. The country aspect does not mean that much as most people are urbanites. They maintain the Oxford-Cambridge-London power base maintaining a ruling class.

The Tories pragmatists? News to me - they are obsessed with petty snobbery and aim to get that vote. If they get in power they will undo much of the good work Blair and Brown have done. They are vindictive - look at the miners, the demolition of the Festival of Britain site within weeks, in London. We could go on, and on, and on.
We need the expertise of the current government to get us through the world financial problems in the coming years ahead.
