Im fully aware of who really is pulling the strings. Presidents arent elected, theyre selected, as the saying goes. will give that a watch when i have the time. As far as im aware mr farage (despite his immigration rhetoric) is the only bloke actually willing to bring this sort of stuff to the publics attention. wether you agree with his policies is beside the point. We need more politicians willing to put their necks out and shout about the banks controlling our politics and pretty much every other aspect of our lives.

I have had a Tory canvasser here, for the first time in my entire life. I was told that nationalisation makes people lazy, so I asked him when we were going to privatise the Army - I was told that that was one of the most impressive organisations in the World. When pressed on the opposition of these two positions, I was told that it would take around a hundred years to get a nationalised organisation to that state - well, we've had the NHS for about 67 years, so it should be well on the way....

Etc.



My blood pressure is down a bit now - I thought I might have to go to Stoke.

My tactic is the same as it is with religious types - invite them in, put on my John Wesley Harding LP and get out the photo albums from the Oktoberfest 1978 and ask if they want the sofa bed or the hammock

A bloke I worked with did that to the ones that really deserved it - one bloke threatened to report him to the Police when he finally got out - nothing ever came of it, though.

You are very good at calling other people stupid (in fact it is getting a bit annoying) but never come up with any suggestions yourself!

Either put up or shut up!

I suggested revolting

I cannot suggest more without expecting a knock on the door and Special Branch don't do John Wesley Harding but they do do brogues

Glad to be of annoyance

PS what are the National Front going to call themselves next?

A load of Tory canvassers hit Penkridge today. Trouble is that they went round in pairs and were dressed in a very similar fashion to the Jehovah's Witness/Mormon evangalists we get, so even the loyal tory voters hid behind the curtains until they had gone.

Probably the National Front but seeing as I have had no contact with them since about 1978 I wouldn't know.

Hadn't heard anything about them for a long time & assumed that they had gone (there is a very old, very politically incorrect phrase that would fit beautifly here and which would infuriate them).

I've never really understood the use of the word 'front' in a political sense.

National Front
Tooting Popular Front
Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen*
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
Judean People's Front

Etc...

*FLOSY has to be one of the least terrifying acronyms for a guerilla movement.

I struggle to see how the system would give representation for smaller parties.

It probably wouldn't, but one thing it would do would be to give the smaller parties a better idea about the level of support they actually have in a particular constituency. If we accept that more ukippers would give their second vote to the cons, and greens theirs to lab, it skews the political picture if they have just the one vote that they use tactically as an anti con/lab vote.
An electoral system that includes PR would be needed see truer representation at Westminster.

Quite so, but voting against electoral reform has set back this objective for many more years. I didn't vote for AV because it was the best system, even though i do believe it to be better than FPTP, but because it was a step in the right direction.
