Re: 2010 General Election
I must admit to being totally stumped! The Tories have alot right, especially on Immigration, fairer taxes and Health Service (wendy watched a local Tory MP talking about it here and he's actually an NHS doctor so knows his stuff!
But has kicked themselves in the crotch by jumping on the green bandwagon, The armed services and their OAP policy (lets face it, none of them have that one right). Not to mention the feeling that Cameron just isn't in the real world with his millions and education (Good on him for being a millionaire, wish I was, but that does make you wonder if he's ever struggled to pay a bill, or buy a bottle of vino).
I hate the current lot and if the Cabinet all internally combusted I wouldn't bat an eye lid.
The Liberals are just so.....liberal, wishy washy, their Euro policy would have us as one European state and goodbye the pound, they hate the automotive industry and are almost as nuts about the enviroment as the greens!. I like their election reforms however.
So that leaves me, in this area, with very few options.
BNP
UKIP
Green
Independant
None of which will get the current lot out of power.
Like I said, stuck between a rock and a hard place and unless I see another, my only option will be a protest vote against Labour rather than for the Tories.
Bugger!

Re: 2010 General Election
Can we have a more of a break down in the others vote ?

Re: 2010 General Election
and due to the current lots determination to record everything, this poll and conversation will be monitored. Regardless of anything good or bad over last government term, Labour's record on freedom and civil liberties is bloody awful. Total paranoia and a determination to record every email sent. Utter madness.
In the words of Sean Lock last night- "Cameron's a ****, Brown is just a **** up and as for Nick Griffin, well let's just say it must of been a difficult birth- hunch back, one shoulder higher than the other and as for his eyes, well ones going to the shops whilst the other is on it's way back....."
oh and as the swear filter has appeared he also came out with a classic one:
Talking about The Sun- "You know when they blank out letters for swear words, well it's the closest Sun readers ever get to doing a cross word. The headline the other day was 'Katie calls Peter a F******g C**t - I reckon it was Folding Coat....

Re: 2010 General Election
I cannot stand Gordon Brown, I used to support labour but it seems that over the years they have failed to set things in stone and always waste money intoducing new stuff thats not needed, Especially hard for them now after the recent economic downturn everybody is out there like a linch mob, But the thing that makes me sick in the stomach is all the mps and the recent scandals, its just shamefull and although probably blown out proportion by the media when they purchase other houses, claim for second morgages they dont have etc, and now the goverment turns round and says they have to provide reciepts this time, for fact sake next time i put my tax return in i will just say that i have spents thousands on kit for work this tax year and say no need the reciepts! the tax man would be at my door quicker than a rat up a drainpipe!
PUT THEM ALL UP FOR THE FIRING SQUAD AND START A FRESH!
My conclusion is they are all as bad as each other! once in power they just put there fingers up there arse!
or at least the majority do :coffee:

That's better ;)
Like I said, it'll clog up the Poll section as there's several other party names that could be listed as well. I'd imagine the main 3 parties will get the majority of votes, but if anyone does vote 'other' they're more than welcome to post in this thread the reasons behind it, if they feel the need to.
And not only that, it may cause offence to some people if they see the BNP (as a good example) being voted for in the majority.
I'll leave the Poll as it is.

Re: 2010 General Election
with stuff like this happening in the uk and the news showing more an more articles like this it will have a big effect on the elections
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/...ecome-minority-
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...er--halal.html this will put a lot of english butchers out of busniess as all halal butchers have to be certified ie islamic. every shop round my way has halal on there door this is a big thing. what about what the english want doesnt seem to matter anymore, we will just have to eat it. its a whole new system replacing ours bit by bit.
what were going to see over the coming years is a situation like when christainity entered rome then flourished.

Re: 2010 General Election
I have always voted Labour simply for the fact I've grown up with a Labour family! Personally, I'm not really bothered as long as the BNP don't get anywhere :rolleyes: tbh think I might go lib dem this time as I think someone else deserves a chance! Plus, although I didn't watch it all, I heard Clegg done really well last night.

Re: 2010 General Election
what we need is some real leaders not these bunch of idiots, wheres the leaders like winston churchill gone, the politicans of today are seriously lacking in oratory skills, mind you all most people 60 odd years ago were better orators.
blah blah blah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4EjG...ature=featured
this is more like it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-W5r...os=VqbK1qMXGzc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl-am...eature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzD8K...os=DwQal9x2Tl4
wheres the three main partys questioning what brussels does, seems as though most voters dont even know whats going on nowdays and vote with there head in the sand, when people get more of the same from the three main partys they will still wonder why thing are the same.
wait for more human rights laws and the rest of the bul****, like how most fisherman in the uk have already met their quotas for this year and their boats are sitting in dock, they cant make the money they need and are having to sell there boats of, the british fishing fleet is declining at a great rate.

Re: 2010 General Election
I've been listening to various debates recentley and find myself agreeing with a lot of what Nick Griffin says.
Now Im not racist at all!!! However I find some of his potential policies refreshing and to be honest common sense.
I dont know enough about the BNP to make a total statement about them being racist, Im sure they must be though if everyone says so. I wish I had time to study manifestos etc, I simple dont. Conservative party is still getting my vote.
Does anyone think the Lib dems will have us all disarming our Nuclear arsenal? he seems to think thats what hes going to do. :disagree:

Re: 2010 General Election
Please dont vote BNP Kenobi. They do identify real problems however their solutions are too simplistic and appeal to our basest primeval tribal emotions. They are not nice people.
Re Trident. If you owed 10 grand and needed a car would you get a Ferrari or a R5GT turbo? The renault is hugely effective at a fraction of the cost you just cant say that you are a member of the Ferrari owners club.
GB owes a serious amount of money and something has to give and I would rather not have something that is basically underwater and hopefuly never used. The idea that todays world of suicide bombers is going to be put off by the idea that we can flatern their homeland is deluded. The only downside is the communities that rely on Trident such as Barrow would have the heart ripped out of them if it was cancelled.

Trident. We have a bigger stick than the scary countries at the moment. I say keep our stick.
I wouldn't ever vote BNP, I think that just incase im branded a rascist. Seriously though i dont know enough about them.

So you would have us sacrifice our role as a permanent member of the UN Security Council? That is effectively what loss of Trident means. Lose our ability to directly veto and influence global law, especially regarding security? All for the price of circa 1bn (that is the projected replacement cost to span the next cycle of about 35 years - post Vanguard Class submarines going out of Service). Current running costs are a fraction of the current defence budget.
We BORROWED 168bn this financial year to keep a few people employed, and the housing market buoyant. Every time we have had a recession in the past - we recovered. Now we have to suffer the hangover of this borrowing for a decade at the very least - a recession in itself that hasn’t started yet. We owe approximately £15,000 per man woman and child in the UK. The interest served on the debt is £1,800 per household this year in the UK. The cost of a replacement programme is peanuts for what we get in return, and given the fact that we cannot even measure (in £ or lives) the cost savings of wars/conflicts that have been prevented by the UNSC (or by resolutions the UK has vetoed) we should not be so quick to lose it, it may cost an awful lot more in the long run.
As for suicide bombers you are missing a much wider picture. Soft Power (more recently coined Smart Power) and our ability to prevent conflict comes from our inherent strength, and our allies gained through defence diplomacy via the FCO. Without a nuclear capability - the P5 - and the inherent stability that it affords the UK (and EU-wide trade agreements), places like N Korea, Pakistan, Iran, and Argentina would not take the UK and our diplomats seriously, with consequential impacts on economic growth and sustainability in the medium and long term. It could even be a cost negative!
If we do not maintain our capability, the replacement costs have been forecast by numerous establishments to increase by a factor of x10 - 15% year on year until the replacement is placed on contract, and their is zero guarantee that the US would then allow us to use their updated warheads. Therefore if the decision is right to axe trident in the future, then the decision is correct today. Would you be comfortable to take the decision to strike down our core defence capability and all that it affords (as above) tomorrow? I certainly would not.
Anyway, my soap box just collapsed so I’ll have to get back to going fast in cool cars. :laugh:

We won't need to go into Iran, neither will the Americans. (The Guardian have an agenda;))
We are already using Soft/Smart Power to engage in the region - have a look what the response from Iran was when the last US Nimitz class carrier deployed to the region and sailed straight through the Straits of Hormouz…
We also have the support of the UNSC (not forgetting our seat on the P5 ) to impose trade embargoes which, while fairly benign at present, can and would be swiftly ramped up should they attempt to do anything significant. Just look at the threat, the Shahab 3 and Fajr 3 missiles, and where did they get the technology? They are based on the Nodong missile from N Korea. So how would we influence Korea? By using our kudos as a world nuclear power (Trident) and member of the P5 of course. Am I going round in circles? Man I bite too easily:laugh:

Re: 2010 General Election
Whether
Conservative, Liberal
or
Labour , I think
you'll get
a kick out of
this!
A little boy goes to his
dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let
me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the
family, so call me The Prime Minister.
Your mother is the
administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care
of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will
consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother,
we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and
see if it makes sense.'
So the little boy goes
off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he
hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby
has severely soiled his nappy.
So the little boy goes
to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her,
he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks
in the keyhole and see's his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the
little boy say's to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the
concept of politics now. '
The father says, 'Good,
son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all
about.'
The little boy replies,
'The prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the
Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and
the Future is in deep
****.'

Re: 2010 General Election
Re Trident check out the debate this issue does tend to polarise opinion. Its not easy to back away from it and if the saving was "just" £1Bn I agree it woundnt be worth the human misery and cost to the communities that rely on it but in my view the sums involved in the short term are much greater than that although it is hard to pin that crucial number down:coffee:

Do you think its possible that Iran and N Korea etc want nucleor wepons because we have them?
As for ythe invasion of Iraq I totally agree, that was down to Tony Blair and I would like to see him face charges of War Crimes. Parliament let us down big style on that one. A more balanced "hung" parliament might have prevented that disaster.
