Danno Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 looking forward to voting for ukip on friday for common sense policies. had enough of the leftie loonies who are destroying our country with pc eu rubbish.
Rincewind Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 Good idea. Polls close 10pm Thursday. I will be tuned in to the alternate election night on Channel Four. I am dreading the thought of seeing Cameron's smirky smile on the steps of No. 10 on Friday morning. Another five years of hitting the low to middle workers in order to please his mates.

Rincewind Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 A good reason to vote Labour is that Katie Hopkins has said she will leave Britain if they get in. (That is if any country wants her)
separator Posted 6 May 2015 Posted 6 May 2015 looking forward to voting for ukip on friday for common sense policies. had enough of the leftie loonies who are destroying our country with pc eu rubbish.You're looking a bit too far forward there, we vote on thursday. I didn't think that common sense and UKIP could be used in the same sentence as well.
ozleicester Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 The existing type of government is dying, single party politics is over and coalitions are the future. The sooner we recognise this and our systems adjusts to match it the better. The UK runs the risk of being held to ransom like Australia was during 2010 - 2013, a completely negative opposition refusing and fighting any policy launched by a coalition government. Change is a commin.

As I am not in the UK, can you explain how they have hit the low to middle workers?
Guest Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 As I am not in the UK, can you explain how they have hit the low to middle workers? I imagine it's becuase they are the people who pay their taxes.
Merging Cultures Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 I imagine it's becuase they are the people who pay their taxes. But that is normal. I don't see how the Conservatives would be different to any other party. Well, except that they did raise the lower tax bracket, which benefits lower earners especially. So, I'm still not sure of Rince's point.
Stevosevic Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 If reducing tax for low to middle "workers" is hitting the low to middle workers, then yes they have.....
Dr The Singh Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 I imagine it's becuase they are the people who pay their taxes. He's been listening to White Dee again??
Guest MattP Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 That result (it was actually 12.7% of a 41% turnout) was in a 2004 by-election, a year later it had fallen to just 6.4% of a 59% turnout. Incredibly, they managed to get about a third of the TORY vote in Leicester South! It's nice that the people of Leicester realised that Respect were a nothing party about a decade before Bradford, makes me feel quite proud. I no more want a man like Galloway in Parliament than I wanted Nick Griffin, both are dangerous demagogues willing to stir up the passions of ignorant people for their own ends - regardless of the damage to race relations they leave in their wake. I think you are ignoring demograpics here mate, Bradford and Bethnal Green where respect won were both over 40% Muslim, Leicester South was less than 10% yet they received 16% of the vote, had Leicester South been 40-50% Muslim like Bradford West, it looks pretty clear that Respect would have easily taken that seat on the voting trend. Nothing to do with the people of Leicester realising anything, just that Respect aren't going to win any seat where there isn't a huge Muslim population in it. Bloody hell, they really are bottom feeders this shower..... http://www.politico.eu/article/galloway-bradford-elections-uk-ge2015/ Awful, absolutely awful. That's what you get though when you turn a blind eye to racism from certain groups. Cringing at the thought of 5 more years of self serving elitist shit. Horrified. Vote for the privately educated millionaire white man who has never had a job outside of politics in the red tie rather than the blue one, right on mate! Maybe he'll even make the Viscount Harperson his deputy. Good idea. Polls close 10pm Thursday. I will be tuned in to the alternate election night on Channel Four. I am dreading the thought of seeing Cameron's smirky smile on the steps of No. 10 on Friday morning. Another five years of hitting the low to middle workers in order to please his mates. I know I'm in a queue here but how? How is taking the lowest paid workers out of tax hitting them? When did you last even work under the Tories? It would be 1997 at the earliest. I'd just like Farage to f*** off today really. Really? I think it would be an absolute affront to democracy if he lost - I've never seen all the other establishment parties throw so much into a seat to try and keep one man out of Westminster, Cameron, Johnson, Miliband all visiting South Thanet along with a host of cabinet and shadow cabinet ministers and that's before we get into the media misrepresentation of him. Hopefully we'll have a different voting system by the next election anyway and he won't have to face such a fight for his seat. I hope all the leaders of any minority who get 5% or more get elected whatever their political position, if they can command that amount of support nationwide they deserve their voice heard in parliament.
Guest MattP Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 This will be interesting, surely you would expect some sort of investigation into this? Looks very similar to how Lutfur Rahman was kicked out of Tower Hamlets council? The picture below shows Ansar Ali Khan and Mariam Khan, the two councillors who organised Labour’s sex segregated rally. Behind them is Labour MP Khalid Mahmood. It has been posted on Facebook alongside the caption “All Pir Sahiban and Darbars in Birmingham have ordered Mureeds to Vote Labour in elections”. A “mureed“ is “a person wishing to dedicate himself to Islam”. Muslims in Birmingham are being “ordered” to vote Labour.

How and where parties invest their time is up to them. If the people of South Thanet decide they prefer the Conservatives and Conservative candidate to Nigel Farage and UKIP then that's not an affront to democracy, that's just democracy. Just because someone leads a party that gets 5% nationwide, doesn't mean that a constituency should have to accept them as their MP, that would be an affront to democracy. Farage has done an awful job in this election campaign, if he loses it, it's really his own fault.

Don't see how he's done an awful job either, he's favourite to win his seat where all sorts of dirty tricks and tactical voting are being used against him. Who's the token white guy at the front, doing his bit for diversity? 'Dhimmy' of the Year 2015!
Rincewind Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 And how is it to be known if they have or not as voting is secret? Anther ployto turn people off Labour. Do they really think people are so thick to fall for it?

Guest MattP Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 And how is it to be known if they have or not as voting is secret? Anther ployto turn people off Labour. Ploy? It's copied off someone's Facebook page Ken. These are exactly the same things that Rahman was expelled from public office for, who they vote for in the box is totally irrelevent, to try and coerce someone into voting for a party based on religious grounds is illegal and has been since the 1700's, it wasn't knocked up last night as some secret anti-Labour plot. Wake up Ken, this is just ridiculous even by your standards. Are you going to answer everyone's question about how the low paid workers are being hit? Do you think farage might step down as leader even if he wins his seat? Very possible, his health clearly has suffered from wha he has been through in the last year or so.

A “mureed“ is “a person wishing to dedicate himself to Islam”. Muslims in Birmingham are being “ordered” to vote Labour. A quick google suggests that Mureeds are like disciples of a Muslim teacher. They don't seem to be the general Islamic populace. Generally, I'd imagine the disciples would vote the same way as their teacher. If it is aimed at the general populace, I wonder how many would take it seriously? Personally, if the leader of my church told me to vote a certain way I wouldn't just take it at face value. I am sure it is the same with a lot of people. However, I realise that unfortunately the majority don't seem to question people of 'authority'.
Guest MattP Posted 7 May 2015 Posted 7 May 2015 That was a Lib dem policy, not a tory policy... It's a coalition government, increasing that tax threshold is now part of the Conservative manifesto.
