    For me this is a serious problem. I mean, governments really do need to know what people are voting for! One of the reasons i would have liked AV as you could see how the votes transfer from small single issues parties in earlier rounds.

    It's all just a correlation, ain't it? Like there is a correlation between people who smoke and people who get lung cancer. Can't prove cause and effect, can you?

    Just come back from a Foodbank collection and feeling uplifted, that's my problem today. Later this week I'll be giving food to people with a temporary cash flow crisis. We'll suggest they trade in the Merc and get a Ford, that'll sort it.

    All that ganja has clearly rotted your brain, to the point where you can't read nuance or irony. Read his post again, probably before you have your first spliff of the day <ok>

    I saw it as sarcasm............trying to simplify "right wing" stereotype as being hardline and uncaring.

    So the average age of Tory members is 57.............only 4 years older than the average Labour member and 5 years older than Lib Dem members.

    And the ethnic breakdown is equally interesting being 97%, 96%, 96%. The Tories are only 1% lower on ethnic members!!

    Shows the difficulty getting minorities and women interested in politics.

    Also getting young people involved as the only way lib Dems can come out at 52 is if the young members are on the old side of young.

    I seriously think that Trump is suffering from dementia. The childishness isn't unusual with dementia sufferers and the whole, "he's being mean to me so I'm going to mean back," and blaming everyone else is either a form of mental illness... or paranoia.

    Try reading a dictionary. Look up irony

    I've never blocked anyone before, but you could be a first.

    Edit: Just tried to PM you but it won't take it, so I'll have to publish my considered response here:

    Oh do be careful of judging on one post. Judging on your one post ...

    Mate, you've described a wizened old leftie who now spends his time doing voluntary work to try and stick a thumb into the dyke caused by Tory cuts as a begrudging Tory. Based on this post alone I'd describe you as an ignorant prick, but I'm sure that isn't the case.
