Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

And the others you do not mention fail even more. :-))

Stan are you Fred's brother. As he never answers questions put to him as well. lol

psst! he hasn't been told the party line and can't answer for himself

What are you on about DC? How can people who you don't vote for and therefore don't get elected fail?

Only the three main parties stand a chance of being elected. Well, make that only two. The main parties pretty much account for the variety of political thought that appeals to people. There are more extreme parties such as SWP, EDL, UKIP, BNP etc that stand no chance of being elected. If you include the NF and the old SDP it is funny how these unelectable parties are all known by initials. It would seem that having a set of initials that your party is known by is the kiss of death.

Lol . No doubt the non voter will have something to say soon.

You lot are just a group of brain dead political bone heads, good night.

answer the question Stan .... who are these other parties who you think are worthy of all our votes? ..... are you going to tell us for whom you cast you vote, or is that against party rules?

Stan, you still did not answer my first question, Have you been in the pub all day. lol

Thanks Haystack, how anyone with any interest for this country can vote any of those parties beats me.

At least none of the above support Burnley :O) Sorry Stan couldn't resist that.

Come on Stan, you have started so you must finish. :-))

CC, lol.

What are you on about DC? How can people who you don't vote for and therefore don't get elected fail?


They fail in my eyes as not getting their policies across to the electorate so to win a majority vote. Also end up with a very low number in the count. Also some ludicrous
policies. In other words they have failed before their campaign even starts. lol

The typical fringe party has one or two (usually one) policy that grabs the public's interest. It may be immigration, Europe, some variant of socialism. However when you look at the party carefully you find it largely populated by nutters and extremists. Their policies on general topics don't stand up to scrutiny. The people they put up for election are usual a bunch of crazies.

OK, so you vote mainstream, and get more of the same.

The same meaning more debt and worsening outcomes.


Sounds like a winner!

It is not ideal, but other parties stand no chance of being elected. Only one of the two main parties can get elected. It is inevitable that politics becomes polarised. We have two parties and they have to be very different just to give something for people to vote for. Both the main parties have sincere views about their policies. You just have to decide which set of policies will be good for people in the long run.

Have you lot considered a lobotomy?... As most of you would "assuredly" benefit -):

Stan - i have considered carefully and decided that without question you have evaded (as in tax) answering the question raised by 2/3 of us

And who do you think you are Alf?... Jeremy Paxman.

i wish i were half as bright
meanwhile, why do you continue to evade answering the question?
it wasn't very tricky or are you obliged to await instruction from "the party" as to how you should parrot a response?
