I'm a UKIP member and I advise you all to vote UKIP to save Britian from the evil of the EU. A latter day Hitlerite empire.

United
Kingdom
Independence
Party

Aw come on....this would have made your day perfect (at the time) give it some thought.

I will post the damning pictures tomorrow.

Think of someone who believes themselves to be even more powerful than 'one blank'...

I'd rather vote for a party that has a chance of actually winning and therefore capable of making a measureable contribution/difference. :hmmm:

Really...Heard on the radio a Germany study of the EU is now passing 80% of the laws in the EU Zone. :nope:

I'm also voting UKIP...Yes I know they will not get power but when the day comes when the EU monster shows its teeth I will have the satisfaction of knowing my vote was the right vote.

Round two debate is over and Clegg is top again! :o

Looking like a hung Parliament at the moment. :hmmm:

ABBAFAN 04-22-10 06:05 PM

Well Cmeron seemed to have improved alot on the previous one. Brown is onto a loser I think.

UKIP? I think I actually walked into a UKIP meeting once. These really old geezers were kind of eyeing me, the foreigner, in an angry fashion. One tried to swing at me with his walking stick. Missed.

No but really, they were old, like 80 +. Just can't imagine young people in that crowd.

But hey vote whoever you want. I'm just a foreigner, a member of the Axis powers, trying to influence UK politics. :D

I beg to differ....3 of the top 4 polls have Cameron coming out slightly ahead of Clegg.

Still awaiting your guess on my earlier post regarding the female picture I posted......YOU WILL KICK YOURSELF :DL

Come on shy boy....I left you a golden clue elsewhere :DL

Whilst your Googling for the answer, try to answer this one as well...

Do you think Gordon Brown's ar$e gets jealous about the amount of sh!t that constantly comes out of his mouth? :hmmm:

STEED 04-23-10 07:50 AM

To be honest jim the polls are making me....:rotfl2:....Just can not take them seriously.

What clue? :doh:

If GB's ass is jealous then the labour voters wearing rose tinted glasses are lapping it up. :shifty:

Hung Parliament = disaster imo.

I've had some long chats with my mum about this. She was born in 1942 so has seen quite a lot when it comes to politics in this country, including a hung parliament.
The example of 'success' of a hung parliament is the scots. I'm not convinced that it is a success for a number of reasons. But principally it doesn't really matter as such because they are only really playing at self governance - after all, devolution is one thing, self sufficiency is another. The last time I checked the scots made a big song and dance about independent governance, but they still expected to have seats in our parliament and a hand in the treasury.

The very idea of a government made from even more fractious interests than we currently have can only lead to one thing: endless debates and bargaining, the end result of which will be watered down, conciliatory bills and a total lack of any firm leadership in any direction. Next to another 5 years of labour, a hung parliament is the next worst thing that could happen to the UK in a long time.

As ma describes it "There's not too many people as a majority of the electorate who have been alive for long enough to actually remember what it was like to live under a hung parliament, so they have no conception of what it really means for the future of the country."

I'm inclined to agree... 'too many cooks' and all of that stuff. Too many voices shouting in discord. Nothing will get done and much time will be wasted by the various factions striving to have their point counted. Anything to come from such a government will surely have 'compromise' written all over it and as such will have no clarity of purpose or design.
We already have too many badly thought out laws thanks to the likes of tony blair and gordon brown, lets not have any more.

That post we exchanged earlier over at BtS.

That must have sparked something surely.

@jumpy.....Have you any idea who that female is in my post a few up?

I know both you and STEED would be very appreciative of what she was responsible for?

Cast your minds back....no tricks, honestly....just a woman who wasn't afraid to do something both of you would like to have done.

A major clue there :03:

jumpy 04-23-10 11:32 AM

? nope.

I'm sure the face is familiar from somewhere. Can't say where though.
Never was any good at 'Guess Who'.

Prime ministers are never elected by the populace. That's why they are
Prime ministers and not Presidents.
