Racism !!!!!!

Hi Roger, Re your post #69
I agree with what you say, but my point is why do the masses keep electing these Polititions time after time.
IE ten years Tories, then ten years Labour. and how many people read the Political Party Manifests before making up there mined to vote, like insurance policies, you need to read the small print. And worse still becouse of the mistrust of Polititions we are begining to see minority Governments, in so much that of recent years less than half the elegible voters in the UK bother to vote. Terry very sorry for the divergance but I believe it to be a part of your original question.

That is right no one seems to have an open mind about voting.
I have met many a man who have always said the same.........
"I vote Labour cos me Dad voted Labour and his Dad before him. and he always swore by Kier Hardy`s cap."" as an example. without thinking, is the party or candidate the right choice
.
I cannot vote Labour because all the Candidates and my MP are all Pakistani born. So obviously not the right Party or Candidate. That is not a Rascist statement, just a fact of today Britain.

George mate it matters not who is in power, the crap is always the same. Read the fine print if you will but the fact remains what is in it will not come to being. They are the only people in the country who can promise you the earth before coming into office then only deliver you a bucket of dirt once in. They would sell their mothers soul to get the power, and that is all it is about, power. The power to tell you how to live your life, who can live next to you, what countries will be allowed to send people in no matter what the voters think.What you can and cannot say or do, it is total power thay they in most cases mis use just to get what they think you should have. they will tell you they know what is best for you, you may not like that but the fact remians they know best. Well they think they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all
On top of it alldo not forget the trough that all politicians of all creeds get their snouts into the minute they are elected, either at local or national level
My local M.P. made £400000 last year on after dinner speaking etc, this on top of his M.P.;s salary plus his £50000 p/afrom Sunderland football club as a non executive director or some such title.
Do he do anything for his constitutents.... nad, nad not a bluddy thing.
Nice work if you can get it and his party is not even in Goverment.
I guess the above is going to set off another rant from many as the reason most of us do not bother to vote is because most politicians these days are useless irrespective of their parties and only seem interested in feathering their own beds.
What they all need is a 12 month voyage on a bad feeding old tramp ship that is held together only by the hard work of all on board or aproduct tanker on the Lake Maricaibo to Curacocao run, to give them a proper dose of realism

To the members who have opted for Not Sure

It always annoys me to see the people in a poll who are Undecided/Not Sure.
What's to be Not Sure about?...either you want the forum to stay or be pulled.End of....

Its people like you who have prevented many a good(and better) party from getting into power in this country.

Sitting on Fences does nothing to resolve a situation...it just gives you a sore ass.So vote Aye or Nay !

i would like to see a law that mp's must live in a constituancy for at least five years before being elected and if he/she loses their seat cannot be elected for another constituancy, thereby stopping them from being elected. alf

Hi Davy, I have forgotten what I voted for, so I was going to vote again, YES or NO, but it says I have already voted, so cannot change anything.

In another world where all is similar, the only difference in the peoples are some are Tall and some are short and some have flatter heads, the taller people would always have somewhere to rest a pint, while they chatted to some one at the same level.
