I voted Labour. The Tories are fucking shite and the Liberal Democrats are a complete bastard joke. I wasn't going to vote at all, but I wanted to keep that smarmy twat Cameron out.

he got you, so i'll C U Next Tuesday.

god, that was shit.

Josh · #68 05-06-2010, 10:36 AM

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

I have a question: what is so bad about a hung parliment? Really, what is so bad about the main parties having equal power? That sounds pretty fair.

Because they're the best of the lot. They are shit, but not as shit as the Liberal Democrats, and not quite as bad as the Tories. I wasn't going to vote at all, but I wanted to keep Cameron out. I made that quite clear. I'm quite sure you've said you support the Tories, so I don't understand why you feel that you can point and criticise someone else's decision.

???

Hard Mode: Not allowed to say 'Because none of their MPs have ever had positions of power.

OddjobAbe · #71 05-06-2010, 11:15 AM

We're in too much of a state to let what for so long has been a bit of a joke take over. The only reason they've gained some popularity is because they're not Labour or Conservative. Anyone who's voted Nick Clegg wants their fucking heads looking at. He's a joke.

Okay.

I'll tell that to my flatmates and myself then. Thanks for your ad hominums.

Obama is cooler than all your candidate.

Grieva · #74 05-06-2010, 11:28 AM

And that's what matters most in politicians, glad Americans have their priorities straight.

Nick Clegg once ran over a roadrunner in Arizona.

No, no i just felt like being cheeky.

Also, i don't know who i'd vote for. I am a floating voter on the right of centre.

EDIT: And one more thing. The number of people voting for the lib dems rather bothers me.

You being sympathetic to the BNP bothers me, and my reasons are far better than yours.

If you're not going to say something of substance, don't say anything at all.

Grieva · #79 05-06-2010, 12:00 PM

Some kids piss their name in the snow. Nick Clegg can piss his name into concrete.

Wait.......no.

Then I have absolutely no problem with you. I apologise that I took your post differently to how it was perhaps intended.

You are very unfortunate if you consider your opinions to be "better" than another person's.

:

Oh, ok, allow me to ellaborate.

The thought that it is possible to cut the defecit by decreasing taxes, radically expand free tuition to everyone except for first year undergraduates, scrapping tuition fees for first year degree student and still find the cash to increase funding on the NHS. Is totally idealist, as is tradition with the lib dems.

The idea that it is ok to give clemency to illigals after ten years, which would increase the population of this contry by over one million people in the first few years. With absolutely no regulation on the economic value of those people, their ability to speak that language or the potential security risk.

Also, A blind Tarot reader would laugh at the vagueness of their ideas on the business sector and economy.

Feel free to go to town on this...

EDIT: WoF, to be honest i would have thought you'd be a Socialist Worker man.

PS. The conservatives have just won in my area. Hm.

MA · #82 05-06-2010, 04:39 PM

i voted Nick Clegg, so you all rip the shit out of me so i can react nastily onec i sober up.

Not at all what I said.

ANYWAY

Hung Parliament time.

enchilado · #84 05-07-2010, 02:24 AM

Australia's Prime Minister is better than any British fag, anyway! He's - he's... Kevin... Rudd...

aw, man!

Bullet Magnet · #85 05-07-2010, 02:33 AM

The problem with a hung parliament is that instead of having the best of the best working together for the betterment of the nation (you do realise this is politics?) we get the worst of the worst fighting over who gets to govern, spending their time in backroom negotiations and double-crossing one another in an attempt to become king of a non-existent hill.

It horrifies the traders in the stock-market, who as we all know go completely to pieces if anything out of the ordinary happens. With Greece out on its ear, the hamsters in the wheels powering the EU economy depend on Britain as their security blanket. But if we aren't sorted out by the time the markets open on Monday we'll be seeing some panicky fluctuations and nosedives.

***Nate*** · #86 05-07-2010, 04:18 AM

After all that PR and reputation from the debates, the Lib Dems lost seats?!

Too many mixed analogies.

They were fucked by the first past the post system, which exists solely to create strong reactionary governments that are hard to topple.

Nice of you to notice. It was a special effort.
