Politics The General Election 2015

[DaGaffer]

in an aside, the Dutch provincial elections, and the water board (yes, ladies!) elections are upcoming. I read the party lists and there is nobody I can be arsed voting for. I kinda feel bad, because usually I kind of like participating in a democracy. Prolly also has to do with the fact that the party I am a member of is not represented in these elections. Oh well.

You're a member of a political party? Really? How...not apathetic of you. You're making me uncomfortable.

TdC 2015

 

[Scouse]

Pics of @TdC in that dress at a formal do or it didn't happen tbfh.

 

[Gwadien]

TdC-Kony 2015.

I can see this catching on.

 

[Gwadien]

Why should he?

I don't get it why politicians now have to promise certain things, and if they don't, they're cowards.

A SNP-Labour coalition makes more sense than a Tory-LibDems coalition.

I'm not an active member. Still, who knows what will happen after I get my paper

It would seem rather obvious that if you are on benefits you are pretty well guaranteed to vote Labour so as to keep the gravy train going....surely claiming benefits should exempt you from the political process due to obvious bias

I can't express how many facepalms this deserves.

Does this mean we should ban people who have racist criminal records to stop voting UKIP.

Does this mean we should stop hippies voting Green Party?

Does this mean we should stop rich people voting Tory?

Does this mean we should stop nutters voting Monster Raving Looney Party?

'Fuk' sake man.

 

[Job]

No..but being on benefits is different to all the above..none of those ideologys are paying you to live..in any other scenario whatsoever the conflict would exempt you from voting, but doleys are allowed to vote for the one party that practically guarantees them an easy life.
If you banned doleites you can bet you bottom dollar labour would lose 80% of those votes.

No, that is fucking ridiculous.

You're only saying that because you see them as a scrounger, but the rich are equally going to vote for the Tories.

We live in a democracy, we allowed the workers to have the vote a 100 years ago, fuck going back to that system.

I think if someone is caught dodging and avoiding tax, they should be banned from voting.

 

[Mabs]

was wondering why you were typing gibberish Gwad, then realised it cos i have the sad troll cunt ignored

I've depended on benefits for the last few months, but I sure as hell won't vote labour.

Job, that's such a twattish assumption.....

 

[Job]

Well you would be in the 20%..it would take a liberal with double barrel hippy balls to deny that most doleys...if they bother...would vote for more dole.

 

[Ormorof]

The percentage of people who are "doleys" would have an entirely negligible effect on the vote, if they bothered to vote at all

I saw some Labour cow get torn apart on Andrew Mar this morning, asking her why Labour insist people are still in shit when all signs suggest we are pretty much back to pre-crash.

could be that zero.hours contracts and the like and the massive explosion of wealth for the already wealthy show that the recovery hasn't been for the working classes.

If you're on a zero hours contract you clearly ARE in the shit - and since labour is supposed to be the party of labour then I'd say they were doing their job and pointing out the obvious?

 

[Gwadien]

Yeah, pretty much as @Scouse said, it's alright financially, but is that finance coming to help out people in their ever day lives?

No, there's still huge cuts and people are suffering compared to the pre-crash.

Which could put arguments which would rightly say well, we were spending money we didn't have.

But equally, you could now say they're cutting too much, and look at the impact its having on people.

 

[Scouse]

well, we were spending money we didn't have

Printed it for the banks tho eh?

When the rich stood to lose, the poor took on shitloads of debt and suffered unprecedented cuts to their essential services...

 

[Ormorof]

Yes its amazing how much the free market evangelicals suddenly become pro government interference when its their share prices that might suffer

as has been stated, privatize profits, socialize losses

Come the fuck on, CARERS ALLOWANCE? - It's okay because all the annual charity events give them loads so they can cover it instead of the state.

This is like a victorian state, lol.

 

[Gumbo]

It's not much of a story until the study becomes policy. You're being suckered into lefty propaganda. I would be more surprised if someone in the Labour party hadn't commissioned the exact same research, so they would have the figures to hand should the tories come up with any of these proposals. WHICH THEY HAVEN'T!

 

[Raven]

It was hilarious the other day when Millibland asked Cameron about the VAT increase they are attempting to scare people with. Later Mililbland refusing to answer the question regarding national insurance increases. Labour are hilarious at the moment.

Boom, headshot.

[Raven]

I think I am pretty much settled on voting Tory now, I like that my standard of living has gone up under a Tory government, I like the fact I am paying less tax and I like the fact my job and the company I work for a secure an an industry that was basically dead thanks to Labour.

It would be a disaster if Labour got in, an absolute nightmare situation.

That being said...

[Mabs]

i as going to vote green, but i might be tempted to labour with the NHS profit cap thing they mentioned previously
selfservatives can die in a puddle of their own piss tbh, and so can the Liberal "i want my 5 minutes of fame, watch me ruin the legacy of the party cos im a cunt of a leader" Democrats

 

[Gumbo]

Why is a profit cap a good thing?

 

[Mabs]

cos selling off nationaly owned things is such a good idea , that is if youre a greddy cunt, or "conservative" as they like to call themselves, in it for a quick few (million) quid

post office? east coast train line ? any of this ring a bell ?

you take 10 things, 5 profit, 5 loss. it balances.

you sell the 5 profit things, OMG THE REST IS FAILING CLOSE IT DOWN.

these things COULD work if people stopped fucking stealing them and selling them off for personal profit, so yea, a "Profit cap" on nhs is a good thing, people dont want to buy it, let it run as it fucking well should.

 

[Raven]

So you prefer wastage?
