Party Conference Season
 

The Party Conference Season is upon us again.

For the next three weeks, the news programmes will be full of all the narrow minded, self opinionated, bigoted loud mouths who consider their own narrow party view of the world is always the right thing for getting the country out of the mess it is in.

These are precisely the sort of people who shouldn't be given a platform in a balanced world. But I suppose that is the price we pay for democracy!

What splendid news i'm away fer next 4 weeks.:D:D:D:D

Re: Party Conference Season
 

Yep....it's all staged managed nonsense now - bland & boring. Even the locations for them are dismal - Birmingham and Liverpool. How pathetic is that? I'd rather watch the debates on the shopping channel than watch that lot and I'm quite sure that Garinda gets more political arguments in his 'Katie' magazine in five minutes reading than viewing a week of the party lackeys prostrating before their half-wit leaders.

Re: Party Conference Season
 

So what's wrong with Birmingham and Liverpool?

So, it's going to be a replica of Accyweb then!

and I'm sure it has plenty of "cliques" too! ;)

Re: Party Conference Season
 

The venues tend to be bland and boring.

It was better when they were held in seaside resorts like Blackpool, Eastbourne and Brighton, with pompous politicians frantically clinging to their toupees as they were being interviewed on the promenade in a force 9 gale.

Who can ever forget Neil Kinnock falling over in the sea during a photo op!

:(:(:(

Re: Party Conference Season
 

I always associate Glasgow with copious pints of Tennents Lager and bad hangovers.

Never been to a conference there, though!:D

Re: Party Conference Season
 

I attended the Tory Party conference on numerous occasions, and believe politics was the last thing on my mind the whole time I was there, it was a matter of finding out who was putting on the best free do's and a well worked out plan how to take them all in so not as to miss any, usually made it into the conference hall for the leaders speech was in those days was on Friday afternoon them home for a rest over the weekend:D

Freeloader.

No wonder the politicans thought it was ok to have their snouts in the trough.

They were just aping their party activists.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Party Conference Season
 

too right, the only difference is I never made a red cent out of politics, and gave plenty of time to the cause, so a free glass of bubble or two once a years was well deserved in my book:drunk:

You obviously sold your loyalty too cheaply, maybe you should have been more ambitious about which rascal you chose to work so hard for?

Re: Party Conference Season
 

We are fortunate ... we don't have these annual conference things ... the only time that the parties get together with delegates from the membership is when they elect a new leader. There is one coming up for the NDP, to choose someone to replace the late Jack Layton. However, we are stuck with another general election, the second one this year:( ... this one to choose the next government of Ontario, which for Ontarians is much more important than the federal election.

I put in the link for those who are not bored enough with coverage of your party conferences ... and those who can't sleep 'cause the Yorkshiremen have scared all the sheep away.;)

Re: Party Conference Season
 

I didn't work for any one I worked for the Party, and when the Party stopped listening so did I

Pardon?

Sorry I'd stopped listening'

Have you ever considered starting your own party?

I could vote for your general ideas, I just don't fancy the way you put them forward.

Re: Party Conference Season
 

Start my own party not on your Nelly Less, after being involved in politics since I was sixteen, it doesn't have the same magnetism now as it did, young Andrew reminds me of what I was like at his age, the only difference is I think Andrew has the oomph to make a successful career out of politics, where I only ever had it as a side line, my first love was my chosen career, until my health put the mockers on it:(

Ah, you mean Andrew is a better liar?

Re: Party Conference Season
 

No but he's learning, hasn't got it off pat yet though:rolleyes:
