But I don’t want David Cameron to be prime minister, my eight-year-daughter told me this morning, as we listened to Radio 4 discuss the hung parliament.
Why?
He wants to take away tax credits from children (I'm sure she has no idea what a tax credit is, but damn the man who wants to taken them from her).
AND, he wants to bring back fox hunting (she must have seen the “ashes to ashes” billboard on the way into London last weekend.)
Anything else?
He’s not old enough (OK, I think she got this from me, during the last debate I commented that CB -- and NC -- don't seem old enough, or experienced enough, to lead the UK out of recession).
I want Gordon Brown (did I tell you hubby is Scottish?)
I explained that Gordon Brown most likely will not be PM, and that his political career is probably over.
If Gordon Brown didn’t win mummy, who is running the country? (good question).
I explained that the man with the red tie (Nick Clegg) is very popular right now, and that David is asking him to be on his team.
Like football?
A bit.
If you can't follow this conversation, don't even attempt to follow the one with my American friends...
