Here is the problem they all sound the same the only difference is where they place the decimal point only one party is saying anything sufficiently different to get noticed and win voters away

I am happy in my life from making a decision long ago that I will not engage, follow or devote any time at all to politics or related matters. It was fruitful.

your not talking about UKIP are you.?

 

[gasmanrob]

I'm afraid so.

Not saying it's any good just saying they are playing a good game. Everyone is discontented with mainstream politics and can't tell them apart along comes ukip playing a different tune and people are dancing too it.

the only good think that will come of it is it should be enough to make the main three realise they need to represent something worth voting for

 

[Ray Stafford]

I get really p1ssed off that people attack Cameron for being a) posh, b) an etonian or c) rich.

Whats the alternative? Do we think that we would be better with a chavvy, poorly educated, economic failure as PM?

Clearly not.

We should not attack Cameron for being posh or well educated. We should attack him for having wasted that good education, and for being a complete knob!

Its his knobbish-ness that is the problem, not the school he went to.

Clegg is just beneath contempt. I cannot recall a politician so lightweight and devoid of substance in my entire life.

Milliband is the most interesting. In a petri dish / microscope kind of way.

Lovely, witty retort as always Ray.

But, while Tarquin and Rupert are ok the rest of us are fluxed.

Without voting you and me into power Leo, can you see it being any better (or worse) under any other lot?

Fair point, I can only imagine me and you in charge. Deep joy!
But ukip would be a change, and if it goes **** up they'll be some sort of emergency vote thingy to get them out. So it's a no lose situation. The main parties would be proven right, so we could all relax knowing we tried something different.

 

[Whyme]

Haha camaron is posh (nothing against where your born). He is posh and unfortunately has no idea whatsoever bar none how people on the breadline and underneath have to survive..

I do agree there's no real alternative apart from him..And the cut backs because of labours squander

UKIP just make me laugh.

 

[Ermintrude]

Ukip? Are you actually on glue? Forage is a robbing scrunt. Blabs on about Europe and how he's going to stop it draining our money and it being a waste of time....... Yet the sneaky twonk spends almost every day in Brussels on £359 a day tax free at our cost, claiming for his wife as a PA on £75k and over 130k in expenses. Yeh this Europe is awful 😉 meal ticket. No EU..... No job, better not try too hard then had I?

I can't argue with that. Which is why I have been a UKIP member since 2011.

Its not that I support their entire manifesto, because I don't. Its mostly because I think all the other parties need a shot up the jacksie, which UKIP are best placed to provide.

 

[Ermintrude]

I don't vote, it's a cost saving exercise. If non of us voted we could add an extra 50% to the NHS budget in 4 years

 

[Ray Stafford]

Whereas Cameron, Clegg and Miliband are all angels?

Go on then Guy, I'll bite.

Explain how you and I not voting can add billions to the NHS budget

 

[Ermintrude]

Well fairies , no all feckless idiots.

The electoral office at your local town/ city has a massive budget, as does the returning officer. Not to mention the horrific cost of an actual vote, the stupid technology that's constantly commissioned and binned for voter security, the House of Lords and commons, just a big show.... No votes no need to show off so it's actually done in an office in burnley and houses are ticketed tourist attractions. then the money BBC spends on coverage, discussion......

 

[Whyme]

UKIP at the moment are ****ting themselves because the bigger you get the harder you fall. the people that have been sacked for saying un PC quotes is incredible. That just couldn't happen in a serious political party..There bigots.

You're miles off mate.

The NHS budget in 2013/14 is £95.6 billion. Thats about £1500 for every man, woman and child in the country.

Even if we took the entire cost of a functioning democracy, plus the enire cost of running the whole of westminster/whitehall and the entire cost of running the whole of the BBC - including all the services that are entirely non-political - we wouldn't even get near to increasing the NHS budget by 50%.

Hi Whyme.

are you saying that it would be better if everyone was PC and never said anything that offended the PC commentariat?

And in what way do you think I am bigotted? 🙂

 

[Whyme]

Does that budget include every body who works in the nhs or just the £1500 per patient. ?

 

[Ray Stafford]

According to its own website, its the total budget for the NHS in England. I hadn't twigged that - being just England means that its about £1800 per person.

Not at all ray. UKIP aren't PC and i don't like modern day PC because you cant fart without offending somebody.

But UKIP does attract the so called politicians that camaron and his new lefty righty conservatives would avoid on the street.

To finish my opinion is that UKIP are attracting the mildly racist which is a worry.

Was a reasonable guess 5% ?

 

[gasmanrob]

Off topic PC is a load of nonsense it's just people getting upset about words. Everyone has the right to use words in an order they see fit to use just because so done takes offence to a word doesn't make it illegal or wrong. Just maybe disrespectful and not the done thing.its the opinion that the words are being used to portray that should be seen as wrong but again everyone is entitled to an opinion. Take this whole clarkson thing. It wasn't an opinion or statement just a series of words that some people would take offence too.

On topic I wouldn't say it is attracting the mildly racist more people fed up with same old same old
