Just to be clear: despite my observations above, I'm not calling anyone a racist, just making an observation about Ukip's seemingly limited policies. I also object to Health tourists etc., but I would only vote for a Party whose policies went beyond foreigners, immigration and the EU.

Re: The Tories
i dont think UKIP could do any worse of a job than either the tory or labour lot in fact i think it would do the country good to have UKIP in power even if only for 1 year and a new election was forced
it wont happen but it sure would liven politics up a lot and have i got news for you would be a whole lot more fun to watch isnt it a shame that the two major parties have proven over and over again they are useless and greedy little criminals to the extent the option of anyone but them could be more palatable |

And you are as Gordon observes, very naive if you think the Liebour Party would not do,a deal with the SNP.

Why on earth would anyone vote Liebour. Would you give the captain of the Costa Concordia another ship to run onto the rocks? No, of course you wouldn't.....so why would you let Liebour run the country when they cannot admit that they made major errors on the economy, immigration and they have no plans to offer the electorate a chance to determine their own future either in or out of the EU. If elected they will have to make cuts, they would have to raise taxes......and they are just as duplicitous as the other parties....they have no intent to make life better for you and me....the Liebour party is exactly like all the others...they look after the rich supporters. There is no socialist party.....Just paler shades of Tories. |

You haven't got a clue what happened in the referendum last year no way there will be any deals with the separatists how many times does ed milliband have to say it . David cameron didn't need to have a referendum the Scottish parliament didn't have the powers . He likes to divide and conquer just like the division he tried to create with going on about a referendum about europe . That backfired with the emergence of ukip whose leader is married to a german with a french name the irony lol you are being politically naive politics has changed beyond recognition the tories have cteated unstabilty just what murdoch wants and is running scared because ed wants to bring in media laws about ownership.

Re: The Tories
Ed did admit about mistakes on immigration in the last labour government but at least we had a uk border agency in place ready to expand what did the tories do? They sacked most of them off , so you get more official immigration and even more unofficial immigration because there is nobody to police it. I retiterate no deals with the separatists no way the separatists up here call labour the red tories when they are more tory than anybody.

That they respect the person who gave them their vote....?Not that they think we(the electorate) haven't got the brains to work things out, to read, to research. I do not give my vote easily or without thought. You think I am sniping at C'mon......it would be good if we could understand what his posts mean.....but the way he posts leaves much to assumption and guesswork.....all because he doesn't punctuate his posts. Come Thursday I will take myself down to the polling station and I will do what my conscience permits me to do. The Magna Carta and all the other historical stuff you quote allows me the freedom of choice....it means that, if I wish to, I can withhold my vote. That is what freedom allows....a choice. You believe in democracy? It is a mythical beast. If voting changed anything they would stop us from doing it. All the political parties know that once elected they can do pretty much what they want for a period of five years....and the electorate can do burger all about it. |

Re: The Tories
The thing is,what he says and what he does are different things.
There will be no party with enough seats to govern without the input of other parties. As things go it is looking increasingly likely that the Labour Party will lose lots of seats in Scotland.....and even if Ed does not jump into bed with the SNP party, it is inevitable that they will have influence...And their agenda is not one which is going to be beneficial to England. The SNP will be as obstructive as possible......so it would be crazy to vote for Labour, bearing this in mind. Nicola Sturgeon has said quite clearly that it will be the SNP pulling the strings if labour are elected. |
Re: The Tories
i keep telling you the cybernats have hijacked every poll and the Murdoch press are attacking labour but on the ground its not the same story. just like Murdoch and his cronies said it was a yes vote win in the referendum. he is trying to rig it again as he wants to weaken the uk for his own ends. there will be no deals with the snp they can vote how they want but labour will not have anything to do with them .they have burnt their bridges big time up here with their intimidation and thickness. you are falling into the tories and Murdoch press trap.

Re: The Tories
Looks like you guys are on track for a minority government ... something that happens often over here. Don't knock it; you might get to like it:D It keeps the governing party fairly honest; and important stuff still gets done.
Talking about tories ... just to keep on topic;) ... there is, for those interested in politics in general and not just the insular stuff, an interesting general election coming up next week in the Province of Alberta ... that's the place where all the oil and all the rednecks are. The tories have held power in Alberta for 44 years! But, from the polls, it seems as if the voters in Alberta are starting to lean away from them; and they don't seem to be leaning to the right ... that would be to the Wild Rose Party, Alberta's equivalent of the Tea Party. They just might give Labor (NDP) a chance. If I were a voter over there, I would vote Labour as a matter of principle. Putting the tories back into power would result in the loss, or at least the gutting, of all the social programs that were fought for in the last century. Maybe it's time to put the EU referendum on the back burner for a while. Not because I think that the EU is a good idea for any country; but because it looks like it will fall to pieces if it is left alone. Kinda like what happened in the old Soviet Union. What was it that Elliott wrote about whimpers and bangs?;) |

I don't think I can vote for the Labour Party.
Our candidate is one who implies that we haven't got the mentality to decide what is right for us when it comes to a vote on membership of the EU. I also do not want that Nicola Sturgeon to be pulling the strings regarding policy for England....And taking us to the cleaners so that Scotland can live high on the hog while we foot the bill. It also concerns me that giving the country to the two Eds......would be like giving the captain of the Costa Concordia another vessel to run onto the rocks......no sense in it. I might just have to put my hand over the Labour Party candidate and make a blind stab at the others.....I am sure I will not be alone in feeling this way. |
Re: The Tories
I realise that this should probably be in another section, but it does fit in with recent posts in this thread - apologies if I upset anyone.
Nicola Sturgeon is touring Perthshire in the First Minister’s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur : " You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. " You were driving, go and tell the farmer," says Nicola, ”I can’t afford to be blamed for anything.” The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns five hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. " My God, what happened to you ?" asks Nicola. The chauffeur replies : " When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap - up meal and the daughter made love to me." " What on earth did you say?" asks Nicola. " I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them, I'm Nicola Sturgeon’s chauffeur and I've just killed the cow." |

They are just a paler version of conservatism.....they pay lip service to looking after the vulnerable.....I do not believe anything that they say.

Yes Cashy, I think you are right.
But in actual fact no party has listened to the concerns of the electorate. The politicians all think they know what is best for us.......and voting makes no difference to what will happen. The 'New' Labour party was just the Tory party in sheep's clothing, but those who follow the party slavishly cannot (or perhaps will not) see this. There is no true socialism any more (certainly not as we knew it anyway, maybe this is because now all the politicians have never done a real job of work.......but some(I did say some) supporters of the Labour party would vote for a donkey as long as it was wearing a Labour rosette. |
Re: The Tories
Perhaps if the Labour Party could take the massive step to be more socialist and it were possible to take privatised industries back in to public ownership so that they were run for the good and benefit of us all instead of the wealthy shareholders they would appeal to more folk.Margaret is right they have been the Tories in sheep's clothing in recent years.It is certainly time for them to make radical changes and put far more distance between themselves and the Tories before the next General Election.
