    Wouldn't happen, the party with the most seats will always get first crack at a coalition and they'll make it work with some party.

    I'm not suggesting it - I'm merely saying the ultimate land tax is the theft of that land. Anyway it ain't gonna happen unless society completely breaks down and we have to start again, and even then there'll be people that won't be happy with their share and they'll want more and probably nick land from other people with the threat of injury or death and then ultimately we'll end up with land being owned by the powerful few again.

    'tis the human way.

    Depends if cons get enough to go in with them ?

    Maybe

    Anyway I just hope someone , anyone gives our fantastic Nurses a bloody decent pay rise which I think the labour party will

    Of course people should vote how they want

    Guess I have friends who support all partys

    You think social democracy and socialism are the same because you don't understand political and economic theory. That's not my fault. It's just evidence how far public opinion in Britain has shifted to the right since Thatcherism where a moderate social democrat like Corbyn is perceived as far-left because he's offering Neo-Keynesian economic policies similar to those practiced in Scandinavia and even Germany, which currently has a centre-right coalition.

    We could probably sack all the police off if Corbs gets in anyway so that would be good.
    We could also do away with a lot of the justice system in this country so that would also save loads that could go on buying everyone the same jumpsuit.

    All we'd need to fund is the secret stasi KGB style enforcement officers that would make sure we're not thinking negative thoughts.

    For under-35s like me who don't come from well off backgrounds, this election could be life changing.

    I've never felt so sure about a vote.

    What's hilarious is that May will take your house when you can't afford to pay for social care.

    I do understand it numbnuts I just appreciate it's all complete bollocks with no real relevance to anything. I did a full politics degree and have also worked in Westminster for MPs.

    There are hundreds and thousands of ideologies that differ and 'right on' political ****s will fight to the death arguing about the differences and which is the 'best' etc. In reality whoever gets in power whatever shade of left, centre or right wing they are makes **** all difference except to complete tossers.

    The problem is the Tories have no right-wing allies except a few NI Unionists. So even if they gained most seats (but not a majority) they've few friends
    to form a coalition. Even if May tried to govern with a minority in this situation she'd probably face a vote of no confidence and be turfed out by
    Labour, SNP and LD MPs - and then they'd probably have a dabble as a coalition.

    If that does happen I wonder if the SNP would accept Cabinet posts ?

    He could literally be in the The People's Front of Judea slagging off the Judean People's Front.

    Explain the difference between socialism and social democracy then, in your own words.

    If you think your degree in politics is all complete bollocks with no real relevance to anything, maybe you should ask for a refund.
