No, we've never hanged them all before, although some did lose their heads when they upset the King a long time back, but hanging the lot of them does seem like a jolly good idea!

And it would make a great TV series where they pull lots on who's next and why that one.

Aye, There ought to be a mechanism for when the populace gets tired of the two main parties and feels so alienated that it does not want to vote for either.... <.<

Not sure about Quebecois or Canadian politics but it certainly applies to US and UK politics.

Liberal Democrats are morally liberal socialists and Labour Party is morally Conservative Party with some socialist alterations.

has to be labour, can;t let the conservatives in through the back door, vote lib dem local and labour general. cameron is a confidence trickster just like blair. also more generally about party politics:
the main parties apart from the tories are parties of permissive society, their views on society are generally similar, the tories are pretending as has been higlighted by the gay bnb fiasco grayling.
economically tories are out for themselves and their friends in business, lord ashcroft,
the only choice opposed to the tories that has a chance is labour, also it really isn't time for a prime minister whose only other work experience is in pr lol, like gordon says its no time for a novice

LABOUR are ALSO out for themselves and their friends in business. Haven't you noticed Peter Mandelson and David Geffen going to dinner together - then suddenly this controversial Digital Economy Bill is in motion? Which has now been passed into law without proper scrutiny? WTF is that? They're both gay and Jewish. Not that those things mean anything by themselves, but having something in common = friendship more likely. So this is looking out for friends. Then there's the fact that David Geffen isn't even a British Citizen... How dare he have the ear of a senior Government minister like that? Especially one who's too chicken-shit to come out as gay. None of that smacks of honesty to me.
That's where Labour find themselves at the moment - a little too comfortable playing with the law and democracy such as it still exists in this Big Brother state.
Gordon Brown is vilified far too much in the media (what's their agenda, then?) but still, he doesn't seem to have much of a clue about some things. Could even be an aspie for all we know - he doesn't seem like a natural politician. Now, regardless of that - what exactly makes him a good prime minister?



That's the problem, negative reasons to vote instead of positive.

Odds are, the Tories will win. I hope so anyway, coz the last thing we need is another year of Labour.

However, in an ideal world, I'd like the Pirate Party to win.

I can't honestly say I support any political party, but if I was old enough to vote, I'd vote for the Lib Dems because out of the three main political parties I think they're the least bad (before the Tories and Labour, in that order), and I particularly like our local Lib Dem MP.

Once again, negative reasoning to vote. It isn't an ideal world, but every time someone says that it seems to be an excuse, not an observation.

also any comparisions between obama and david cameron are hilarious

conservative manisfesto contradictory- encourages nimbyism or not in my back yard control of funds, yet also will make big cuts and hard financial choices, most confusing

The conservatives plan to continue the Thatcherite agenda. They want to demolish tax credits, increase the retirement age, get rid of public services and get rid of child trust funds. People used to be in poverty traps. I remember what it was like living under the Tories

So do I, and compared to living under Brown and his socialist buddies living under Conservative rule was great. You forget with your talk of tax credits that someone else has to pay more tax to finance those credits. And most of us who work are sick of handing over our money for it to be given to just-of-the-boat immigrants from third world slums to raise enormous families. I hope they scrap tax credits completely.

That amount of money is tiny relative to the rest of the populace. In fact, someone did the calculations and found that immigration (by a few pennies per migrant) increases the income of this country.

There are plenty of other groups who waste lots more of our money (fat people + alcoholics on the NHS and so forth...)
