Is Nick Clegg giving power to David Cameroon?

Is predicted before the elections, the United Kingdom has a Hung Parliament no party has got the majority seats to form a government.

What happened to the land slide victory that David Cameroon was dreaming of? What is he going to do next?

Gordon Brown for now is still Prime Minister, and as for Nick Clegg, we wait and see what he is going to do next. But it looks like he wants to ‘go to bed with Cameroon’.

The people have spoken, even though some may not be happy with Labour there is still a large percentage of the population who do not trust the Conservatives to run this country on their own.

For now we wait and see.

If Zimbabwean politicians can be trusted, we are likely to have elections next year (2011) which will go a long way in determining the future of us Zimbabweans in the diaspora.

At the last election we were not allowed to vote and its most likely we won’t be allowed to vote during the coming elections.

Zimbabweans in the diaspora have a right to determine their future, it is our human right to be allowed to vote so we can choose whom we want to be our President.

It’s sad that our right to vote has not been respected it was taken away by the rulers in Harare. 

We hope this government of Zanu Pf and the MDC will give us back our right to vote.

Why should we not be allowed to vote?

I wonder how many people think the Conservatives do care for the ordinary person in the street? All that David Cameroon and the Torries want is to get into power so that they can protect their own rich interests.

This is the reason why I will not be voting for the Torries next week.

I have followed how David Cameroon is taking advantage of the media hype and using personalities without real substance in his policies. It’s easier for him to attack Labours’ policies because he is not in power, but what is he bringing to the table?

What is it that he will change that matters to me?

The Torries will always be the same, they are for the rich and will always use the poor while protecting their interests.

UK General Elections 2010 are just around the corner, Labour won the last general election in 2005 but who will win this time?

Most importantly for all the immigrants living in the Queen’s land who will you be voting for?

Vote for Labour UK Elections 2010

Opinion polls this far point to a Conservative Party victory by a small margin, but the Tories have never know to represent the interest of the poor.

The Tories are there to divide the rich and the poor and for that reason they will not be getting my vote.

I am going to do something to help myself and you can do something to help yourself too, go out and vote on the 6th of May.

Vote wisely and vote for a party that represents the best interests of immigrants.

Vote for the Labour Party.

I suggested to my friends that I am planning to go into politics in fact I want to play this game. They were surprised and not even one seemed to support my idea, they think I’m bonkers. It seems people have a bad picture about politics and politicians, some even think I will die mysteriously in a car accident.

People have grown up in a political climate where there seems to be a systematic elimination of political opponents and perceived enemies. But is this a good enough reason not to play ‘Politics’?

Do you trust politicians?

In the UK, Gordon Brown of Labour, David Cameroon – Conservatives and Nick Clegg – Liberal Democrats are busy promising us this and that trying to entice us to vote for them. After all who doesn’t want to be British Prime Minister? But why should we vote for either of these guys? Do you think these guys really care about us?

David Cameroon has promised ‘married couples tax break’ I think about £3 per week, that’s his idea of mending ‘broken British society’. So what about the ‘single parents’ living in poverty? Is it their fault they are not in marriage?

Well the David Cameroon and his Conservatives also say immigration is too high and will be reduced to levels last seen in the 1990s, interesting this affects immigrants from outside the European Union.

Well, this is politics. People don’t trust politicians, they promise promise and never deliver. 

As an immigrant in the UK who should get my vote in the coming general election?

Well, that’s according to Argentina President Cristina Fernandez……are we going to see a rise in demand for pork meat?

President Cristina Fernandez is reported to have claimed that she and her husband had a fulfilling weekend of marital bliss after feasting on barbecued pork chops.

“Eating pork improves your sex life.

I’d say it’s a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra,”

she said in a speech to the leaders of Argentina’s pig farming industry.

Will the pig turn out to be that wonder cure? Or this is just political hot air.

Do you think Pork is a good sexual stimulant?

Law and order is reportedly breaking down in Haiti, probably fueled by the escaped 3000 prisoner. Some of them are reported to be heavily armed gang members. But, how can we explain such behaviour when the country has experienced a disaster of such a magnitude. Why do humans behave in such a barbaric way at a time they are supposed to show their most caring side.

Instead of looting, why can’t they use their energy helping people still trapped in the rubbles, helping the injured ones, help clear roads so aid can reach all the areas.

It’s so sad.

I remember a case that happened in Zimbabwe a few years ago when a truck driver burnt to death whilst people were looting sugar from the overturned truck.

Why do we behave this way?

What a relief! Thank God, I can’t live with all that snow. I grew up in our motherland Africa where there is sunny weather all year round, never new anything like this ice rink Britain.
Whilst Australia is baking in record temperatures, we had to endure some miserables weeks of bad weather here in London…..Baby Boom on the way in England?

The good thing with the end of the snow days is that we can start to walk like man again. The last few days we were walking like an old lady in high heels (sisi Dhori vakapfeka gogo lol!).

In our Shona language I don’t think we have the word to describe the cold weather that we experienced in London. “Hanzi charova sei chando chakwidza Hamba mumuti?” Chemu London yayi buruka mumuti imomo ichimhanya.

I just hope we are past the worst of the cold weather. Vakuru vakati “Chitaurirwa hunyimwa mbare dzekumusana” ende kukurukura hunge wapotswa.

Our prayers today go to the people of Haiti and those who are working so hard to help the victims of the earthquake. God Bless them.

So much has been said about the goal Thiery Henry scored in the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Ireland on Wednesday. The Irish feel that they were cheated,Henry handled the balled before Gallas scored. So, they want a replay and I doubt FIFA would agree to such crazy thoughts. Replay for what???

Ireland had the chance to win this game in the first 90 minutes. If Duff and Robbie Keane had not missed those chances, Ireland will be going to South Africa next year. If their defence had done it’s job Henry should not have had the chance to handled that ball.

They even had Irish lucky on their side. France should have got a penalty for that foul on Anelka by Given.

So the Irish should just get over it, they are not going to the World Cup period. We have had so many cases like these in football, the most famous one being England vs Maradona (remember the hand of God?). What happened between Chelsea and Barcelona????

As for conspiracy favouring the big nations. Do you still remember what happened between England and the mighty indomitable lions of Cameroon at the World Cup in 1990? Now who is making the most noise? It’s the English press.

This is football, Ireland is staying home and they have to live with it. See you in South Africa Thiery Henry.
