their ideas are well ideas that are completly unworkable and uneconomic, they want it all expecting only the rich to pay, when in europ they have no say over those things anyway
i been watching too much 'yes minister'

Thanks for the Link.
Edited to add: I read their manifesto. Nice to see some left wing policies but they are far to anti europe for me. I will be going Liberal Democrat
Um Labour does seem to be going kind of that way. They have put through some very un Labour like policies. Top Up Fees, etc
If we pull out, many industries from manufacturing to food produce to countless others would lose out. THOSE are the jobs we're talking about.
Get your facts right once and for all and stop believing all the bullshit the europhobes spout about how much money the EU "costs us". Because we make much more than we pay.
an amazing modernisation of the party has taken place. clause wotsit being gotten rid of ...the ownership of the means of production etc ...that was very radical. outraged many at the time but it was needed. we no longer live in a land of mines and mills. we live and thrive in a consumer culture. completely different world.
although some will still say blairs nulab are tories they couldn't be more wrong.
the redistribution of wealth has been taking place in a remarkable fashion with tone and gordon. public spending is improving things for all. the minimum wage and family tax credits etc ...nulab are the only modernist party arond for me.
at fifty years old this is the best government in my life time.
look at the railways ...what a mess!
Labour are a right wing party, from an economic point of view.
Maybe not very far right, but def right of centre these days I reckon.
Replacing the EU with a free trade agreement would not have an imact on the economy(not that im advocating leaving the EU). Yes millions of our jobs depend on Europe but millions of jobs in Europe depend on the British. They most definatly would not start putting tarrifs on our goods as we would do the same and they have more to loose out on than us. How good would it look to the french and german governments (whose economic growth is practically static) when they loose another million or so more jobs and have to start paying even more welfare on top of the already ridiculous amount paid by them? It just aint gonna happen.
Oh and Britain does pay in more to the EU than it gets out of it. CAP for a small example.
The transport system is in such a shit state because it was nationalised in the first place.
Maybe the busses are late because of the number of cars on the road
I still fucking hate trains. Wankers. At least every other train i get is delayed. Most are late.
LOL!
Really
How many people these days are actually interested in politics? is what puzzles me. Personally I have a greater interest in social issues, but I don't know a great deal on for example, the Eu... which makes you think how many people know what a constitution is? How many people care about trade with other countries? Or at least understand it (again, can't say I'm a hot shot at economics).
I vote because, being female people have fought for me to have the right to vote. We're blessed to live in a country where we have freedom of speech... or at least enough freedom of speech to say what we want and not be imprisoned.
You can't trust politicians, that much is true, but then not voting isn't going to change a thing. maybe you'll never be able to trust them because that's the way the world works. People don't make the top by playing fair... do they?
