Let's Get Political!

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

The option already exists. It's called "spoiling your ballot" and has traditionally been used for this purpose. Doesn't tend to get talked about much though, unless you and Russell can mobilise the millions to your cause.

Disagree. Having the "none of them" actually gets people to vote, a protest vote to tell the politicians of the overall dissatisfaction and lack of trust the public actually have.
Would have a negative impact though on the UKIP protect vote.

Being disillusioned with the current crop of self-serving arseholes doesn't mean people want rid of democracy. Most folks I talk to would like to see more democracy in the process, rather than the current five-year circular stitch-up between different shades of the elite.

Spot on. vote PD
At least in your tenure you were influential in defeating another low life piece of shit

This thread is hilarious.

There's a bottom line in play. It's called 'the bottom line'. It's a financial term for those that can't see the wood for the tree's.

The sooner the UK can get it's trade deficit down and start reducing the National Debt, the sooner the likes of Red Ed et al can start getting their investment in public services back.

The Labour party fucked it up. They spent, not only every penny they took, they borrowed in a delusional belief they had 'abolished boom and bust' (how fucking stupid are these cunts?) and they mortgaged future generations livelihoods in PFI agreements.

Now, not only do they not admit where they went wrong mis-managing the economy, they want to borrow more to 'invest in Britain'.

Why, when the British economy was was running a surplus as opposed to deficit, just a decade ago, did they choose to not 'invest in Britain' but to expand the welfare state to unsustainable levels? Why?

What on earth makes these fucking idiots believe that borrowing money to invest money has one iota of sense to it?  Anyone who has ever invested money on a serious level will tell you that it's nothing more than a 50%50 bet.

Is that how our economy should be run, on the toss of a coin?

"The Labour party fucked it up.".... What is surprising about that. History will tell you they always do.

Sadly for Ironside, the Labour Party has been a bastion against the sort of political system that he favours....history tells you that.

I know, anyone with of age knows it, anyone brought up through the 'Labour years' should be able to see it.  Yet some on here keep voting for them!

Sadly for Reg, people aren't stupid enough to continue voting for the same old self destructive idiocy.

Are you still a BNP member or have you jumped ship to UKIP?

has been..

Blair sold their soul to make them more electable. Kinnock was the last true labour leader, now they pay lip service to their old ideals.

Would you care to engage in a debate about the issue and perhaps propose some soloutions? I think everyone would agree that this would be preferable as opposed to the 'you said this' kind of debate you appear to wish to engage in.

I'm always up for a debate...what issue have you in mind?

Oh good.

The economy?

Let's always remember that the last coalition government started from the perspective of that glorious note explaining that 'there's no money left'.

Yes, not unexpected after we had to bail out the bankers and hedge fund operators after the 2008 global crash.
