Yeah, doesn't look much like Ed.


Exactly. That's as British a look as can ever be achieved.

Of course I'm an American, so none of what I think actually matters.



As a possible Tory voter (undecided on exactly who I will vote for) I am very happy that UKIP and the Tories won't form a coalition. That would drive me straight to Labour/Lib-dems without a second thought.
I used to run an alliance, and a region. Not that it matters now.

I won't even respond to such idiotic comments. I just said that Ed doesn't look British, I never said that was a problem. You and Alyakia are acting like if that's a terrible thing to say. My god.

It could have been interpreted as you saying there's a way a person must look in order to be 'A real Briton.'

You have explained that's not what you meant... So controversy over.

I have explained it a hundred times and I said he just didn't look British, I never said it was a bad thing whatsoever. I doubt that the "controversy" will be over because Alyakia acts like a little baby every time I post here.

So someone from Britain who has a dark skin tone "reminds you of an Indian", not of a Brit, meaning that darker skinned people don't remind you of Britain, meaning only whites are truly British?

I mean you wanna go by skin tone? A Russian fresh off the boat is as white as any pure English man, even though they have 0 British blood.

Ethnic British.

Why being ethnically British even relevant, you realise Nick Clegg has a Dutch mother, and on his fathers side has German, Russian, Polish and Ukranian ancestry, why aren't you complaining because of how un-British he is, is it because he pasts the "White" test unlike the "Jew" Ed Miliband?

Definitely BNP, because I love me some Fascists. /sarcasm

In all seriousness, if I lived in the UK I'd prolly vote tentatively for the SWP.

But alas, I l don't live in the UK, and my party hasn't fielded a candidate for anything I could vote for since 2008.

This comment is ridiculous. I just said he didn't look British, and I said a 1000000 times that it isn't a bad thing whatsoever. You and Alyakia are making a big deal out of nothing. Pathetic.

i mean, you're free to imply if not outright state that only white people can be truly british (sorry "ethnically british". the BNP prefer to say indigenous britons. just thought you'd like to know.) if you want you should probably just not i'm not the only person that's going to give you weird looks over it.

ISideWith inexplicably gave me UKIP, followed closely by the Tories and LibDems, but if it were up to me (and as I am American, it's not), I'd vote Tory.

Meh. Going by a complete deontological minarchist stance on the Isidewith ties me with UKIP and libdems. It's a toss up.

I'd say the closest thing to "Libertarianism" we have in the major parties is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orange ... Liberalism

Though there are a lot of Tories who are social liberals and strong fiscal conservatives.

That's sad, I literally shed a tear.

My constituency is hardcore Labour, which is odd as the general region of England around the constituency is all Tory, but our MP actually does a hell of a lot for the local community, even my Father who despises Labour has respect for him.

If you stop ranting over something non-offensive and something which I explained over a hundred times, it's fine indeed.
