Election campaign kickoff

[GastonJ]

The Conservatives say they are "firing the starting gun" for May's general election after launching their first campaign poster.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the alternatives offered by the other parties would be "disastrous".
But shadow chancellor Ed Balls accused the Tories of having an "extreme and ideological" approach to spending cuts.
And former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit said the party would struggle to win a majority unless UKIP "implodes".
With just over four months to go before polling day, BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said there would be plenty more campaign posters and newspaper articles in the weeks to come, with many focusing on the "central battleground" of the economy.

The new Conservative poster - with the slogan Let's Stay on the Road to a Stronger Economy - shows a road stretching out through countryside, and will appear on billboards across the country.

Obviously the Tories live in a dreamworld since the road doesn't reflect reality, there are no potholes, no roadworks and no speed taxation camera's for one thing

They can fire that gun all they like..

They wont get in again without UKIP!

Sad news is, labour will bring this country to its knees.. I'm just hoping and praying that the SNP don't get too many MP's as they will hold up a labour government the same with UKIP and the conservatives!

The end of 2 party politics in this country seen its last days under the Blair (spit) govt!

Well other countries end up in coalitions with numerous parties, so why not here, although we do have a system designed to avoid the need for coalitions. Least if they're busy trying to barter with each other they're doing less damage to the poor basseds who have to put up with them.

There's no traffic jams on that road either, more proof that it's not a reflection on reality. Same world the Tories live in.

Pity the picture of the road they used is in Germany, because if it was here, it would be full of potholes.

Yeah well, is it a road in or out of Germany. Can't decide whether Dave wants to join the Christian Democrats or is asking them to invade
