It crossed my mind too. "Responsibility" is not a policy, it is something one expects from those elected to power. Responsiblity is part of the job.

It is getting out of hand.. like.. just been to the offie and it was £5 for 6 cans of Guinness last week .. now it's £1 a can! no dicount! so 6 cans of Guinness now cost £6!..were will it end?

That much for Guinness:eek: I can get it cheaper here.

My policy is zero tolerance in all policies.

I was certainly not aiming it all at politicians. It is people who need responsibility in their lives.

Whatever they may be, I still think it would be more polite to allow Mothernature her opinion first, she finds it an important enough subject to start a thread about it, by the way I notice your views on the subject are as equally vague as anything I have posted so far.

Re: What policies should a political party have?

With the National Debt at over £700 billion and rising daily - that is about £12,000 for every single person in the country – and a government bent on pretending to be an International power, I would suggest that a policy of UK first, second and last until the National Debt is cleared.

Alternatively I would support a policy where the UK is sold to the highest bidder, with a reserve set to the equivalent of £1,000,000 for every person in the UK – approximately £600,000,000,000,000. Where upon a successful sale each person in the UK receives £1,000,000.

Daft I know and it will never happen but then the yanks did buy Alaska from the Russians in 1867 for $7.2 million. So maybe the USA would like to buy the UK too?

They did, they wrote it off as a tax loss 40 odd years ago.

Don't think it matters that much anymore, as the majority of legislation that affects our lives is now decided in Brussels.

Westminster is increasingly becoming an irrelevancy, so the policies decided there will matter less and less, as time goes by.

Therein lies the crux of the problem. We should never have handed power over to any other state. As I see it, if you don't live/work in any given area how do you know what the true problems are. I certainly wouldn't come to Ossie and state you need more bins on the streets. I wouldn't have a clue if you did or didn't need them. Europe is so far removed from England I doubt it could find it on the map.

I've thought long and hard about this and I am torn between what matters most to the general public. Reading comments here, there and everywhere leads me to think that Crime is the main concern for most people. Having said that though, I think crime may only be a main issue if you have been a victim of crime. Therefore I think my one policy would be Immigration Control. If you come to live here, you shouldn't be allowed to claim benefits, health care (unless an emergency) or housing rights.

Actually I knew the answer, I just thought it funny that andrewb was toeing the party line. Cameron used the word about 22 times in his conference speech the day before ;)

Meaningless emotive words are silly when used by the opposition but all well & good when you're a Friendly Dave (:alright:) supporter. Seriously. What have they come to. Tories should be ashamed of themselves. At least back in the day they were evil minions with balls. Now they're just irritating toffs. 'Responsibility'? Pass me the bucket!
