Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 656642 United States 04/14/2010 07:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some of the comments from the article: Strangly enough this article and the comments here have made my mind up. Particularly Nick French with his closed mind creed of greed and jealousy. If he is a Labour supporter then I am most definately not. So, for the first time in my (considerable) years I will vote TORY. Not without a shudder I need to add but the alternatives are far worse. We need Labour out. Maybe they can come back in a few year - I like some of their lefty views - but their extremes need calming and fixing before the country is damaged beyond recognition. .. What!? People say they are not sure if they want to change this Government, why not? There must be so many people out there with their heads in the sand. Stand up and be counted before its too late! ... - Have you looked at the figures for percentage of votes gained compared to who gets into power? 2005 elections, 19 million voters cast votes that were ineffective; that's 70% of people who voted. 2005 again, Labour only got 35% of the vote to get their majority of seats (if you take into account low voter turnout (61%) only 1 in 5 of registered electorate voted for the ruling party). It's hardly democracy in action when the majority of people don't want the leading party in government! Time to change our voting system. This is hardly going to happen when elections keep producing results for the Lab/Con. A hung Parliament might be bad in the short term but if it gives them a big enough kick up the backside so that they see the country wants a system that actually produces a reflection of their preferences, rather than depending on some postcode lottery to determine who gets into power, then I'm all for it. |

Quoting: Nailer45I seriously don't know how Brits put up with all the laws they have in the UK. They have cameras up everywhere to track every move they make. Their taxes are ludicrous. There is a law about how far their garbage can must be placed from the curb and fines are given if not within the parameters. Then the whole Sharia Law making it's way into Parliamentary procedures. Come on Brits, stand up for yourselves and shake off the nanny state that is controlling your lives. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 942720 United Kingdom 04/14/2010 07:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would truly be interested in learning more about the UK. It's simple; one of two parties, either Labour or Conservative, gets to shaft us for the next four to five years after getting a paltry 35% of the vote. There is a slim chance that one of those two parties might need to team up with Liberal Democrats to shaft us because the 35% (ish) of the vote they got doesn't get them a majority in parliament (like it ever should!). When this happens (it hasn't for a long time) we often only get shafted by the two parties that team up together for a year or two before they fall out with each other and call another election. After that election we then go back to our usual routine of being shafted by either the Conservatives or Labour for four to five years even though they again only got around 35% of the vote. Oh, the wonders of our parliamentary 'democracy'. |

I would truly be interested in learning more about the UK. Totally disenchanted is the word I think. However there needs to be a rapdid change but unfortunately class struggles are rearing their heads again (in name only). Many voters will still cling onto Labour in the name of a pretty much defunct political ideal ie working class refusing to vote for 'those Tory snobs'. The reality is both parties are 2 cheeks of the same arse but there are important differences. In my view, 20 or so years of a Labour government has seen us totally bend over for Europe. Immigration is out of control and it's gone beyond the positive effects to sheer imbalance and to the detriment of many communities. Liberal views have become the only acceptable standpoint and it's lead to a broken society. Kids in many areas have zero respect and the jump to serious violence is very easy for them to make. Too much time, effor and money is spent on criminals with little justice for the victim. We go to so much trouble placating terrible behaviour, weak punishments for crime and anti social behaviour yet scream outrage when yet another teen is stabbed or someone is beaten to death by a group of teens. This country has lost it's balls and it's down to Labour and such a fiercely pro Europe agenda. We have to be able to reclaim the middle ground and the right to think for ourselves beyond the liberal guidelines without fear of being branded racist, stoneage, backward etc etc.. Only the Tories can change that. |

They vote for one party that gives them hell, then when it eventually dawns on them they vote for another party that gives them equal hell, then they go back to the first. Totally insane! Ask any of the brain-dead why they won't vote for any other party than the big two (or three if you include the pathetic Lib Dems) and they'll say something totally insane like, 'Well, there's no choice, the other parties don't stand a chance'. Of course they don't with moronic attitudes like the British electorate! And before the other nationalities on this board start gloating, look to to your own systems and I dare you to deny it's any different! |
