Politics 2024/25 General Election Voting Intention (2022)

[Scouse]

I'm largely resigned to the fact that main stream politics will continue to be status quo whilst wealth inequality increases and quality of life decreases, there isn't the ability or the will for drastic change

So they're mugging us off with smoke and mirrors.

The public has voted, clearly, for drastic change. This is unfortunately not it. Lets see if the dupe is succesful.

Watched it btw. The mayor of birmingham was a far more competent, intelligent and, for me, likeable person. Knew his shit, whilst Burnham waffled in generalities.

 

[Embattle]

No doubt even further from the SW than the actual No 10.

What?

What?

Obvious? Try reading.

Even the headline is clear enough.

I don't get your problem with it?

 

[Raven]

I've been married 24 years, old-fashioned AF.

*probably wouldn't bother again though.

Edit, and old in general.

Not sure what extra rights I get, we still pay a bastard £220 a month in council tax.

I don't get your problem with it?

If we wanted what they're proposing we could have got married or had a civil partnership. But we didn't. As adults, we chose to be in charge of our own affairs.

Unwelcome government interference in our lives will likely mean that if Tam decides to walk away I can take a chunk of her rental property - that's wholly in her own name - and her pension.

We've already sorted out our finances, our wills, and separated what we wanted to separate.

I really, genuinely wish someone would painfully kill people who have a desire to meddle where it's none of their fucking business.

The existence of retards who can't sort their own shit out does not justify government intrusion into our lives. We're not fucking babies. Government is not fucking daddy. Anyone who supports this can go die in a hole.

I really genuinely wish horrible lifelong excruciatingly painful disability on these cunts. This is my life to organise, my choices to make - not theirs.

Did you miss this bit?

Couples would be able to mutually opt out of the proposed new rights, as long as they meet certain safeguards, which could include getting independent legal advice and disclosing their financial situation to their partner.

 

[Scouse]

Honestly, I'd happily open up the gas chambers and shove these morons in.

I'd want them glass-fronted first though. So I could watch.

I mean this unironically.

Why do I have to do this? Why does she?

If she's hiding something from me, then fair enough. It's her life. Part of trusting someone is acceptance that they may be lying to you.


Edit: A life free from government interference. That's one of the expectations (and rights) we have.

Labour propose to administer the dealings of adult relationships - or require you to perform unpleasant administrative tasks. This puts pressure on couples that chose no pressure.

Part of the reason we never got married was that marrige, to us, shackles you to each other. It comes with it's own pressures.

Right now we're both free. We stay because we choose to. And we can walk, utterly unencumbered, at any time.

We know we can get hit for inheritance tax as we're unmarried. We know the laws of intestacy. We accept that because we prefer to be autonomous individuals in charge of our own affairs.

These proposals are horrific.

Because it's not all about you?

If you want to make it about you, we can - uneducated 18 year old has 2 kids with bloke, they split up, she hasn't worked a day in her life and now she has nothing apart from the child maintenance, mum thinks hmm I can either start working really shit job that isn't close enough to support my kids or I can find another bloke and have another couple of kids and maybe do the same cycle in a couple of years. This happens, why would you not want to do something to prevent it, the kids are obviously more likely to cost you money (taxation) through social services, education, benefits & possibly prison.

If I'm being honest, I think you see it as yet another attack on men. Deadbeat dad men.

When you see stuff like this - millionaires fighting for the poorest people in the country and talking about 'well we (educated middle class people at the committee) can make these decisions and they (poor uneducated working/underclass) can't' what does it make you think?

It's an attack on our - our - independence.

Tam's piss is boiling too.

You fucking social justice warriors can get in a hole. The existence of the uneducated, of frankly lazy fucking retards who've got all the options open to them to act of their own volition, take control of their lives, like adults, does not give you wankers a right to interfere in our lives.

F.O.A.D.

 

[Scouse]

At some point people have to help themselves. To think for themselves. To act for themselves.

A state-directed life is no life. It's fucking slavery.

 

[Scouse]

Because it's not all about you?

Sometimes it is. My life is. The ability to make my own decisions is the only real freedom I have.

In this case, it absolutely is. "Them" too, sure, but they have options.

If the existence of thick people means the not-thick have to live like slaves then mulch the thick at birth and spread them on the farmland.

Anyone who thinks the existence of thick people gives them carte blance to interfere in the basics of life - freedom to be with who you want to be with, how you want to be with them, the conversations you have to have with them, how you're allowed to live - can die.

• Marriage is an option.
• Civil partnerships is an option.
• Freedom to take your own decisions is am option - which comes with benefits as well as pitfalls.

Options. Freedom to choose.

It's the last place Labour haven't interfered. And they want to legislate all relationships.

Die. Die. Die.

 

[caLLous]

You're unhinged.

 

[Scouse]

You're unhinged.

This government is about to tell me and my partner of 24 years that we have to list out all our assets, pay for independent legal advice, and fill out a pile of forms, submit them to each other, sign them, register them with the government, just so we can carry on as we are.

They are legislating away our freedom to live freely as we choose.

If you want even more financial protection than you already have, get married or take out a civil parnership. If you don't take those options and it goes wrong - that's all your own fault.

This proposal means that there are no relationships that the government doesn't have a legal interest in.
