Steady on tiger

check you out getting overly excited to the extent Rindy is renamed lol ;)

Personally I think that all parties should do the good old army 'cough' test, just to make sure the leader has the relevant dangly bits. I'm really tired of a 'leader' that has had theirs removed. Cameron, for example, seems to have been missing his from birth

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

Why is it that people accept that Labour can be bad and good, but nobody is willing to accept that the Conservatives might actually be good too, regardless of the bad things they may have done in the past?

And why does nobody talk about the Liberals :p

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

Excuse me that is a very sexist statement. I am not a great friend of Maggies but whatever you may think of her she had more than enough 'dangly bits'!!

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

thats dead ironic to me polly, why on earth would you desert a sinking ship?:D if that was the case,you would probably be in a better position than most brits.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Because they haven't come up with a viable alternative, unless you count trying to be more New Labour than New Labour as an achievment.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

Exactly and thats the one thing pretty much every leader since her has lacked.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

We accept that Labour were once Good because we remember those days.

We don't talk about the Liberals cos no one can remember who or what they are

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

It is ironic, but at the end of the day everyone has their own 'self interest' at heart, that is why we have so many problems with p0oliticians, ( from your postings I thought you were old enough and sensible enough to know that)

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

yes but in all fairness they were attatched to dennis

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

This is not about Labour being good..and it looks to me like plenty of people accept that the Conservatives might actually be good...even if they have "done bad things" in the past.. it's about people posting propaganda for the Tories.
Anyway I honestly wish you well in your exams and further education.. I'm sure you are grateful to the taxpayer and this Labour Government for paying for them..take a look at the conservatives history.. you'll find THEY objected to education for all, and opposed the NH, .. and opposed pensions, free elections, child labour laws, and anything else this nation now enjoys.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

I don't think I will ever vote for a party that represents the majority if I am not part of that majority. I would rather be selfish and vote for my own needs.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

Are you asking me to be grateful to a government about university fee's when they have increased next year?

Also I pay most of my funding back, so maybe I should thank my bank too, who will have supported me much more than the government by the time I finish my studies.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

Excellent.. you really have summed up the Tories!.. respect to you for telling the truth.

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

As most political parties get elected with anywhere between 35 and 40% of votes, I dont think any recent government has represented the "majority"

Re: Tory Tory Tory
 

My vote is secret, and I haven't once said to you that I am going to vote conservative in the elections have I?

I'm not even a member of conservative future, so what makes you think I even really care about politics beyond discussing it on this forum every now and again.

Because I was curious, I asked a socialist politics student at my uni whether he'd vote for a party that represented the majority or whether he'd vote for his own interests, and he toyed with both ideas and still said his own, though we both agreed that if we were in a position of governance we would both try and represent everyone.

Although the entire population does not vote, everyone still has interests. The majority of the population does not vote, I wouldn't say otherwise, but unless they all shared the same view, the majority interest could still be represented by a party, though I'm sure I don't need to give people a lesson on fractions and percentages :p
