British 2015 general election poll

[Arglorand]

Not really. 5 seats at best.

Hey, that's like 500% more than when they just started out, so.

0 times 5 (or 500% of 0, if you will) is still not 5, mate.

[Sebastianbourg]

I didn't say Northern Ireland just to assert the UK's sovereignty over that region in the north of the island of Ireland; saying north of Ireland and northern Ireland are exactly the same thing!

Not in the real world they're not.

Let's not hijack the thread with an argument which will lead us nowhere.

but 5 times 1 it's 5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29549414

I know. I was building on the assumption that "when they just started out" meant an earlier point than just recently.

[Lerodan Chinamerica]

Nope.


How so? It's a logical and economical application of the principle of equality under the law.

The lower income spend a greater percentage on necessities.

Yes, which is why they shouldn't be taxed.

[The Jasminia Islands]

Well I'll only be 16 in May so I won't get to vote but I'll be wearing a Green Party badge during the campaign and might even do a bit of leafleting. Economically, I'd say I'm closer to the Liberal Democrats and before 2010, I supported them but the way they've let the Tories walk over them makes me question their strength and integrity. I support the Greens in pretty much every policies (except some of its economical policies and the issue of the monarchy) and I think it's time to pull the centre ground back towards the left.

[Dejanic]

Why don't you go ahead and read their programme? Here, have a look.

And it's *immigration. Two m's. No n. Just a heads up, since you seem to have been doing that a lot.

Basically, what the big 'leftist' party in my country says. If this is your alternative, I'm happy of being Spanish, for the first time in years

Ok, I have to admit you're right xD

[Sebastianbourg]

The Plantagenet Party.

Do it.

I know a monarchist who'd agree. That's 2 out of a hundred signatures down (I think it's 100 to form a new political party). Steal all of UKIP's support (and thus save the UK from Nigel Fascisti) and continue the Great British tradition of invading France once every century.

But we did that two times last century!

[Britanno]

Well, it seems like we already are. £10 billion a year goes towards propping up dictatorships and encouraging economic mismanagement in Third World countries.

I'm not saying foreign aid is currently working well, but it shows that foreign aid needs to be reformed, not scrapped.

[Britanno]

At the end of the day, commerce and markets are the best means of bringing people out of poverty.

Have you ever read An Inspector Calls?

Social liberal != Neoliberal
Social Democrat != Neoliberal

I think I'm capable of distinguishing even more than you between ideologies, I just critizice that modern 'socialist parties' don't really know what the f**k socialist really means.

Somalia has no taxes.

I still support the Liberal Democrats but I have to agree with you; they've done absolutely nothing but let the Tories run them over. I'd support Labour before the Greens though; some of their economic policies and the fact that they want the abolition of the monarchy just scares me away from them.

Dude, the other day you said that Communism is "government control of production", so you don't know jack amigo.

And we must do it again! People like distractions, and what better distraction than invading France? Right? I mean, sure, it'll piss everyone off, but hey, we can just ask the Ruskies or the Chinese or the Commonwealth for help or something.

Somalia has no taxes.

So what you're saying is... UKIP supporters should become immigrants and go to Somalia?

The meaning of socialism has always been ambiguous.

Except in the UK, where Labour has given up on socialism.

[Mesrane]

Well, I'm no expert whatsoever in British politics, but in my opinion Labour looks like it's going to gain most, followed shortly after by UKIP, who I think will gain as well.

Don't fucking ask the Ruskies, they always pick the worst countries to march through on their way to France.

They'd love it, Somalia has no gun laws, low taxes, deregulation, the nation is NOT part of the damned European Union, AND THERE'S NO ROMANIANS!

Yes, I understand that it probably turns a lot of people off but at least it stands by its convictions. I cannot bring myself to support Labour. Ed Milliband is useless, it's full of career politicians who've progressed from uni to a thinktabk to an intern to an MP, and the way the party runs itself is hardly democratic.
