But, but, he grins at voters, and spends his nights drinking beer and smoking at pubs! He can't be elitist, he can't be!


He's just the everyday Working Class Man who feels like his financial career would be threatened by an influx of poor immigrants from Eastern Europe.

So relatable to his voters!

They probable support Putin since most far-rights are supporting Putin and I guess that would automatically support the Crimea annexation

You're going to have to explain why that's the case.


The current UK immigration system means that people from Europe are prioritied compared to people from other parts of the World such as India and Australia etc. for coming to the UK. Because of the free movement of People policy the EU advocates, those from poorer Nations with hardly any qualifications can freely come to the UK as opposed to people with decent qualifications from Countries outside the EU.

Also, we could boost NHS funding if we left the EU and used the current EU Membership fee of £12bn a year for this purpose. Also cutting Foreign Aid. These sound pretty sensible to me and no doubt to others aswell.

I would so vote for the Monster Raving Loony party. They offer good, common-sense solutions to a wide range of problems. Defo the most serious and relatable party in Britain right now.

I think we shouldn't give any foreign aid unless we have a budget surplus. Being in deficit I cannot see the justification for it.

UKIP aren't expected to gain more than 5-6 seats, where as the Lib Dems will keep a hold of 15-20. It's more likely that the Lib Dems will hold the balance of power again.

I don't think it is. Cameron really wants Britain to stay in the EU and the referendum is just a sop to try and keep the Tory splits on Europe under control. He'd much rather do a deal with the Lib Dems than add a radical eurosceptic pressure group to a coalition, and it's likely due to incumbency that the Lib Dems will still have more MPs than UKIP.

Funny, I was against proportional representation during the referendum, but now I wish it was implemented. An SNP-LibDem-Lab coalition sounds like something out of hell. As Cameron put it, "a coalition of people who want to bankrupt the country and break up the country"

If that happens I'm going to find whoever in that coalition becomes PM (probably Ed Miliband) and throw a shoe at him.

funny, it's almost like you were against it when you thought it would harm you but now you think it would benefit you you're all for it

are there still "noted pedrasts" in the conservative party that they very occasionally give a slight slap on the wrist or has there been a change of policy? i mean "a coalition of people who want to bankrupt the country and break up the country" sounds bad, but we could do a lot worse.

anti: bad

That's why minor parties support proportional representation and large ones generally don't.

Yes indeed, the Parties of the 1970s, 80s and early 90s are long gone. We've undergone a reversion back to how things used to be in a world that no longer suits them.

Looking at the real life non-NSG polls, both Labour and Conservative seem to be head-to-head against each other, it almost looks like a tie, with Conservatives just 1 point behind Labour, other times vice-versa.

LibDems did technically come into government in the 2010 election, as part of a coalition with the Conservatives... they were pretty popular towards the end of New Labour. Now UKIP seems to hold the same level of popularity the LibDems did during the 2010 elections and its still unclear which main party is going to win (Labour vs Conservative) because they're both so..... tied.
