Noel Gallagher Hopes Conservative Party Win The Next Election

Noel Gallagher is hoping the Conservatives win the next General Election - for the sake of music.

The Oasis guitarist tells the News Of The World: "I'm praying for the Tories to get in. Music is much better when times are hard."

"There was that great moment in the mid-nineties where everything was great, and music was great - but it doesn't last for long," the songwriter adds. "It'd be nice if there were stormy clouds ahead."

Noel did however explain bad times wouldn't affect him: "It'll be alright for the likes of me obviously because I'm fabulously wealthy. No credit crunch for me."
