I stand proudly with Margaret Thatcher and Adolf Hitler in the top right.

Standing with Hitler is not something to be proud of.

Congratulations (not really), you're the most authoritarian person in NSG (that has responded so far).

Mind you, standing with Thatcher and Hitler isn't something you should take pride in...

[Tybra]

hmm was actually expecting to be more up and a lot more to the right, ah well.

I see nothing wrong in taking pride in standing with Thatcher. She was a decent enough Prime Minister. Sorted out the Unions etc.

The last sentence contradicts the first and second.

[No Names Left Damn It]

The last sentence contradicts the first and second.

No it doesn't. Before Thatcher, Unions were constantly going on strike, and the Labour government was doing nothing, and all the while the country was being held to ransom by striking workers.

If there is a situation where one union or group of unions has too much power, the correct solution is to increase the power of the other unions so that their power is comparable. Decreasing union power as a whole is (pretty much) inherently unacceptable.

Or to decrease the power of the Unions that have too much power, i.e. most of them.

It's almost impossible for most of the unions to have too much power. Nonetheless, unless the power of the other unions is increased to compensate for the decrease, somebody is probably going to be given power they shouldn't have.

They piratically controlled the country.

Overall, Unions were in a more powerful situations than they should have been, and many people across the U.K. were on the receiving end of power cuts etc. It was unfair on the general populace.

[Jello Biafra]

They piratically controlled the country.

So then they practically had about as much power as they should have.

Why wasn't the general populace unionized?

Fair enough description of me, I suppose.

That is one of the reason I respect you opinion CM.

How? The PM is supposed to have more power than the fuckin unions.

Unions shouldn't be able to force the government into decisions it shouldn't have to take.

[Brughtlund]

I stand proudly with Margaret Thatcher and Adolf Hitler in the top right.

Standing with Hitler is not something to be proud of.

Why not? Apart from his genocide, he really was a genius on the social scale of things, while Margaret Thatcher was an economic genius. In my opinion, of course.

There shouldn't be a distinction between the unions and the government.

You think not having a say in anything, and being forced to do exactly what the government wants is good?

I don't know enough about Thatcher to make any informed commentary on her economic policies, but Hitler was a genocidal maniac and one of the most evil world leaders in history(That really can't just be brushed aside), and on the social scale, complete Nazi control over your life, with almost no freedoms whatsoever, was genius? I don't see it as much different than typical authoritarianism, except for the massive extremity to which it was taken.

I refuse to identify with the left because although they usually have very good social and economy policies, they always take them too far, and either want to embrace and appease people who want to blow us up, or just become communists.

Fair nuff, it goes to far allot of the time. But that's why it's good here- it's a mix of the 2.
