Accyweb elections

[entwisi]

Could I make a suggestion for a temporary section in Anything Goes,

Idea is as follows

Basically those that can be bothered write up an election manifesto with how they would run the country, then at a predetermined time we have an election. The manifestos should be realistic and you can challange if you thought it couldn't be backed up within each persons thread. e.g. its useless saying "I'd abolish tax" as its clearly not viable, saying I'd drop rates to 10% for up to £30 with an increase in higher rate tax to compensate is.

anyone think its a good idea? I have a basic idea of what I'd do if running the country, i think it would be good to see what others think or even to see new ideas.

More likely to get long winded replies from our home grown megalomaniacs!

Unless you are a fascist I don't think you'd get too many votes, so it's not really worth the effort of writing up a manifesto but mine would probably involve a purely british britain, leave the EU so we can have the death penalty, castration of paedophiles and homosexuals... sounding a bit too much like nazi germany already...

I don't think I can meet the needs of Accrington without turning into Hitler. Nevermind

I remember you posting that you'd joined your college's LGBT (Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trandsgender) group.

Can we look forward to your own sterilisation?

Post the date, and we'll start a get well soon thread for you in Anything Goes.

Now do I take a conservative (with a small c) approach or do I radicalise the whole tax system, ohhh the possibilities.

You mean you don't advocate castrating anyone with less than heterosexual tendencies ?

Perhaps the same way you've chosen to forget to comment on the fact that you posted that you'd joined the LGBT group, and yet also called for the mass sterilisation of those same people?

I have split this thread and moved some of the more funny comments to a new thread on a members request .
