I'm with whatever party the Queen is in. She knows what to do, she's blooming well lived in this country and seen all of it happen enough times :P I don't particularly like any of the parties - Cameron is immature, Gordon Brown is hated by everyone (seriously, we had solicitors in today and they called him a berk :P), the Lib Dems I haven't really looked into and the smaller parties suffer tunnel vision. What happened to good policitians? Seriously, anyone after Blair has been crap, even the ones in the cabinet.

Let us not forget Gordon Browns amazing Youtube though, because if David Cameron looks like a fool there then I don't think there is a word in the English language to describe Gordon. :)

Because joking about such matters is acceptable for a PM? Right. Obviously not - admittedly Brown lacks in some departments, most noticeably looks. However, he has a level head and maturity - two vital aspects of being PM that Cameron can't and will never grasp.

I think so yes, again it was light-hearted, would we rather have a robot like Brown who has no idea when to smile and when he does it looks like the Joker from Batman? - Brown have level head and maturity?, yes selling the gold stocks when they were at a twenty year low was a really clever move by Gordon Clown.

I am pretty certain he could do a better job than Gordon Brown, whether or not David Cameron can do a 'good' job remains to be seen, I have my doubts about him. As for comparison, I think Gordon Browns' economic record of unsustainable spending and mountains of large debts speak for his economic and political maturity, however other than them two factors he is mature as a human being.
Also when I mention looks, no it doesn't matter, however if we are calling David Cameron a fool then we can name Gordon Brown just an equal fool for his totally unconvincing smile attempts on Youtube.

I don't see how anyone else would have done any better, in fact they wouldn't have. He has done what he thinks is necessary and has ensured that people aren't affected like they have been in other countries. He knows he isn't the right man, longer term but for now at least he certainly is.

In yours eyes then, having public spending at unsustainable levels and still refusing to cut them despite record levels of debt & selling gold stocks when at a twenty year low where good decisions? - he nationalised the banks yet the banks are still refusing to lend to struggling business and until they do, then the recession will continue.

Some banks are, you can't generalise and that's a fact, not speculation which your posts are based around. The banks are making things easier for people to live and Gordon Brown and the Labour party in general have had a huge influence in that.

Business owners have told the media time and time again they are not having the loans coming through, therefore they are having to cut jobs as they cannot sustain the business. The other issues I mentioned are also disasterous economic decisions which have cost our country billions and are costing us every second that passess, building up a mountain of debt which is just soaring higher and higher.
When Labour entered office in 1997 they had one of the best balance sheets in the countrys history, when the leave office (the sooner the better) they will leave one of the worst deficits in the countrys history.

Not really. Care to explain the financial portfolios my family were given today regarding our trust fund and my dad's estate which hasn't recovered as fast as it should since the economic downturn? :P Seriously, most things are halved so shares and so on can't be sold! The banks are all terrible (because it is a financial portfolio, bank comparisons between all of them are added) and they're all worthless at the moment.
Though I did find something useful:
The UK on its own is a better economy than any countries with the Euro/within the EU. If anything the EU would want Britain to have the Euro just to benefit itself, which of course won't happen unless this Labour government, or the tories stand their ground and not go for the Euro.

Global recession has nothing to do with what I just posted, the government still refuse to cut public spending and the banks are still refusing to lend out in the United Kingdom. We own the banks, and whole point of nationalising the banks was to get them to lend again yet that has failed.
It is a global recession, however I am not talking about the rest of the world I am talking about the United Kingdom and the disasterous decisions this government has made over the past twelve years. You are using the class argument again so I shall now use it on you; Neil Kinnock. The man who led the Labour party a few decades again, was against the European Union and was against the House of Lords - yet now him and his wife are involved in both and are reeping in millions of taxpayer money for their 'services'. - In the words of Jim Royale; socialism my arse.
Socialists always use the class argument because it is one of the very few things they can do, i'll turn it on its head shall I? - if you ask a prison full of criminals who they would vote for between the Conservatives and Labour I could nearly gurantee the vast majority would rather vote Labour over Conservative.
I know when things are exaggerated thank you very much, I also know that the country is building up a massive mountain of debt which will weigh this country down for many years to come, thanks yet again to Labour.

Lol Kinnock opposed the fact that there was no entrenched Bill of Human Rights in the EU, that was passed in 1998.
He was against the House of Lords due to the herediatary peers that existed, they were abolished in 2001.
All by a person who Kinnock himself vested belief in, the right hon. Tony Blair.

Kinnock opposed both the European Union and House of Lords when he was fighting his socialist corner against Margaret Thatcher, he had argued for the abolition of the House of Lords when he was leader yet now he has changed his tune and is happy to accept millions from both every year. I thought as a socialist he is supposed to oppose high wages and is supposed to be fighting for the poor yet all I see are him and his wife reeping in millions upon millions, just like Stalin, Kim Jong Il, Lenin, Chairman Mao.. the list goes on and on with historys failures.
I have indeed, however the tories managed the economy then and when they left office in 1997 they had virtually no debt left leaving Labour a clean slate to spend money on, however Labour are refusing to cut spending - that is the vital difference, knowing when to stop.

Neil Kinnock was not elected to the House of Lords so so much for his democratic crusade, as always with the Labour failures - they end up in the House of Lords or more often the European Union, just like dear old Peter Mandelson.

I didn't state that was a fact, just like you put words in my mouth like you just have. I said lets turn the claim made against the tories on its head and I stated that, and I believe that is true. Who are softer on crime? - Labour, who always get more support from crime ridden areas - Labour.

These arguments from labour supporters are driving me crazy.
The conservatives left government with one of the BEST debt records this country has ever seen so do not start saying labour brought the debt level to below 40% GDP in 2001 as it is clearly stupid when you look at the mess were in now.
Why do you think we are in debt now and will be until atleast 2030? because LABOUR KEEPS SPENDING!!! and has been spending since 1997!
Can i also point out labour did not get the debt to below 40%, it was actually the economy... as the general GDP for that year was quite high so it offset the labour governments spending thats why it fell to below 40%.

Here is a quote from the iron Lady herself.
"Eleven years ago we rescued Britain from the parlous state to which socialism had brought it. Once again Britain stands tall in the councils of Europe and of the world. Over the last decade, we have given power back to the people on an unprecedented scale. We have given back control to people over their own lives and over their livelihoods, over the decisions that matter most to them and their families. We have done it by curbing the monopoly power of trade unions to control, even victimize the individual worker"
This is what happened then and its what is happening now with the current labour government.

Hum Thatcher wasnt in charge of Britain in the peak of the Cold War in the 1960's. Neither was she in charge during the Gulf War during 1991, that was Major. The Falklands did mark a period of spending however.
Neither do I support Labour, I think Blairs failure to regulate the banking industry led to this collapse so agreed I dislike our present government. But during the last recession Thatcher dealt with it by destroying certain industires like coal mining as it was a neccessary cut from the budgets.

The figures show a recent surge in borrowing (in % terms) as the governement attemps to spend its way out of recession (which appears to be working at the moment). However the levels of debt before this are fairly similiar to those under the tories. This fianancial crisis is not a regular occurance, it's a serious problem. That's why borrowing needed to be increased. Many developed nations in the world took this step and much of the world is in recession. You can't blame the UK government for this.

Labour never spearheaded anything, they just were caretakers of the reforms Margaret Thatcher made and meanwhile made awful financial decisions. Whether we had regulation or not would not of made any difference, capitalism needs bust to boom. This myth that has grown around Gordon Browns chancellorship is a myth, it was not Brown who created that prosperity it was the individual who was able to create such a boom thanks to the reforms Thatcher brought in.
I do not blame Labour or Gordon Brown for the bust, I think overall in the end the bust was nessacery and will in turn create new growth as it always does and has to in a capitalist economy. I do however blame him for awful financial decisions and for being unprepared.

The difference between the Conservatives and Labour are evident in terms of recovery time. The Conservatives in the recession recovered quickly without large debts, because they had saved money and spent sensibly and knew when to stop. Labour does not know when to stop and never had, 1979 a prime example when we had to appeal to the IMF because the idiot James Callaghan had run the country into the ground, along with his party and its unions.
Margaret Thatcher had a far bigger job than sorting out a recession, the reforms she placed were the difference between falling into a socialist nightmare or surviving and transforming into a strong, capitalist and free country in which the individual and not the state had control. It worked.

That is always the way isn't it, get annoyed/don't know what to say and just call the thread pathetic and leave, the next Neil Kinnock.
I thought I was the only one that didn't agree with Undertaker, now I realize so does the whole forum!
You mean as in alexxxx and a few other Labour supporters?
Something I can talk about to other people without sending them to sleep, and some exs of mine also played Pokemon. *Removed*
You brought up the topic of not having a life, to me and to many they would rather talk about politics than talk about pikachu and ash throwing their pokemon balls at evil pokemon monsters. :)

I agree with him. Labour have completely ruined this country, and we need something new. I believe that the conservatives can start to rebuild the country again. I think we should at least give them a chance without backing the party that trashed everything.
Brown > Cameron :eusa_danc

No, i can't keep posting on pointless debates forever. Because they are circular. You claim to know about economics but you fail to recognise the EU's free-trade ideas, which you bang on about. You don't understand how investment by the givernment can increase national income and that you only understand the basic principals of the circle of income. So when I argue that nationalisation of certain industries (ie rail, bus) i get told that it hurts the economy. You fail to see that the EU does NOT say who makes what and wwhere it goes, it isn't a command economy. It's quota's, limits, subsidies are to keep a steady price in the marketplace for consumers and farmers/producers.
You keep on banging on about a refferendum, which was for the Constitution. Believe it or not, but the constitution is not the lisbon treaty. Much of it is the same, but it is not the same. You don't understand how democracy works in the way that you elect your MPs to do a job, you can't have refferedum on every single law/treaty as everyone doesn't have the time to educate themselves well enough. That's why you elect people to REPRESENT you. The EU IS democratic.
You can't (or don't) back up your arguments with facts, opinions aren't the same. You blind yourself with nationalism and the war and the good ol' days to see what the USA are doing to us (one-way treaties, making us their bum-buddies in pointless and costly wars that don't serve our interests, poorly regulated banking codes, corrupt governments) and what the EU are doing to us (free/common market, eu-wide work etc, pooling sovereignty). I KNOW there are benefits with being friendly with the USA I KNOW there are problems with how the EU works.
Frankly, you sound like what a daily mail would be if they were a person. A xenophobe with dodgy, unfounded arguments, a far-right bias who cries at 'broken britain' and how it's the fault of ZaNULIABORE nazis.
Alright.

They are only circular because you ignore it all and bang on about these made up dreams such as a European Federal State and how our economy would collapse without the European Union. The European Union does NOT free up trade, it has a command economy structure similar to the idea of the Soviet Unions economy, if it didn't then it wouldnt exist as free trade would be between individual nations and not one trading bloc - that is part of a command economy. The farmers and fishermen DO NOT WANT THE EU & ITS REGULATIONS - why is it so hard for you and the EU to UNDERSTAND AND LISTEN to that!?.
The Libson Treaty is exactly the SAME as the Constitution, even SUPPORTERS of the EU and EU officals have said it is around 98% THE SAME, just minus the badge and embelm. I shall ask yet again, why is it so hard for you are the EU to understand people DO NOT WANT THE EU.
Democratic? - do we elect the Commission? - NO WE DO NOT. That is not democratic at all. No one chose it, it refuses to give us a referendum on whether or not we want the European Union or the Libson Treaty - you have a strange idea of democracy, one similar to Chinese/Soviet democracy in which you have one party which means no choice, then again at least they get to vote for it. We didn't say a referendum on every treaty, but when so many soverign powers/reform is to take place in a system which can overrule our sovereign parliament WE WANT A SAY.
You constantly use this arguement, oh god we have to be all centralised and together to survive this cruel new world! - no, you are wrong, if anything the world has got more de-centralised and argument that we need to sign away our sovereign powers away to a foreign and unelected body is absolute rubbish. I still do not see why you cannot face the fact that although you think their are benefits, the people of Europe still DO NOT WANT EUROPEAN UNION. Three countries were given a say on the treaty and not to the delight of the ruling governments in those countrys, out of the THREE countrys that were asked, THREE said NO. To put that in simpler terms; out of the poll sample of them three nations 100% of the countrys asked do not want more powers given to the EU, 3/3 TURNED THE EU DOWN.
What you do know is that people do not want the European Union, yet you and Labour just carry on as usual and ignore what people want. I am nationalist of this country you are right, because I am proud that we fought a world war and a cold war to fight the very thing that we are signing up to today, an unelected foreign superstate. Did we want to be ruled by the Third Reich? - NO. Did we want to be ruled by the Soviet Union? - NO. Do we want to be ruled by the European Union? - NO.
You and the European Union know the answer is NO from the majority of Europe, and that is why you are making Ireland vote yet again until it comes back with the answer that the European Union wants. If you and the EU are so sure of its support and how great it is, why not do the honourable thing and put the matter to bed forever - LET US CHOOSE.

Ok, Point number one. How do we not understand investment? Its not exactly difficult to know, infact its common sense to know that when your in debt you dont spend more and get yourself more in debt. You get yourself out of it!
Nationalisation of some industries is a VERY bad idea. What do you think Thatcher did? She Privatised industry which BENEFITED the economy. So of course people argue with you as then the public does not have control!
You say the EU is democratic? What a foolish thing to say, MEP's are elected yes but i hardly call the EU Comission elected... Please rephrase your sentance.
You say we cant or wont support our arugments with facts? Ha! how stupid this is. I certainly remember me saying this about you and your labour friends a week or so ago!. Atleast we actually do give evidense and things that support our claims, we dont go giving into something like yourself and your labour friends with all guns blazing going OMGZ LABOUR IS TEH BEST! When it clearly isnt.
Im afraid i dont read the daily mail. I read the Independant as I find that it is more factual.
Your not a labour supporter? Ha! this is the best phrase ive heard all day, if you were not a labour supporter then why are you trying to defend them so much?.

We're in the middle of a recession and Blair left at exactly the right time so all the fingers are pointed at Gordon. David cameron is far too smug and his policies favour the upper classes rather than the majority.
TBH all of the main political parties are full of crap.

Short but sweet. ;)How can you possibly say anything about debating when you just ignored all his questions? I do believe in short can be sweet but you haven't said anything to do with politics in your post? I'm guessing your post comes from something like this:
- You're wrong and want to get out of it by criticising his posting
- You can't be bothered to read it
- You're jealous he can write so much on a topic yet all you can do is write meaningless posts about the 'art' of debating which you completely fail at
It bemuses me your so 'pissed' about football that you name yourself after it, I could quite easily say you've took it too far and there's better things to do. It's just as well I like football but my point is everyone has their own interests, clearly your not interested in Politics but there's no need to spam the thread with crap and then insult people.
