Quote from: Jaspersharpe on April 09, 2010, 12:11:46 pmI'll be voting Lib Dem as they have the most sensible policies on just about everything. Plus, Nick Clegg is the only one with the balls to admit that he doesn't believe in God instead of trying to creep to a discredited, fairytale believing, paedo controlled bunch of fantasists. Fucking cynical attempt to get the vote of 5million guilt-ridden brainwashees, where's his self recockingspect?I'll go with Clegg, cos his name reminds me of the loveable non-offensive last of the summer wine protagonist.

I would probably vote lib dem if it were about voting for the party that you want to win. But our system does not work like that. I'll probably vote labour as I like our MP, I've met her 3 times and think she does a good job.. and with a 9800 majority theres more chance of Sloper voting Labour than her getting out...

Isn't this why things are in such stasis though?If people voted for the party they want to win instead of this bullshit tactical voting of who they think has a chance then the system might work better (but I'd still like to see electoral reform anyway).If you do it thats a majority of 9799 that Labour would have, if your mate who would have voted Lib Dem does too then thats 9798........etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Anyway, I'm rambling - voting system daft blah blah... but we're stuck with it.. so
National Insurance, does allowing people to keep more of their income take money out of the economy or put money into it?
Quote from: Jaspersharpe on April 09, 2010, 01:47:39 pmI agree that the administration of the Tax Credits system has been a disaster but that doesn't change the fact that the policy is correct.Why? I think it's a mad policy.

I've always been a fan of the Lib Dem's, and have voted for them in the past and guess I will do again. However, having just taken this test;http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/it seems I ought to be voting for the Greens (a lost vote in many eyes!) or Tories (who I have no faith in), all based upon policies.Which begs the question, are we blinkered by media hype and propaganda instead of reading what each party actually propose?Why not vote for who's policies are best instead of choosing between the big three?
(especially if Labour get back in and Balls has a go at the City, which, like it or not is pretty valuable to the economy)

Valuable to the economy?? That would be the city into which the taxpayer has had to pour billions of pounds to prevent economic melt-down would it? Valuable - as a hole in the head..............Socialism for the rich, that's what this country's good at............
