Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

75% Green, 25% Labour. To my utter lack of surprise, I'm a hippie.

 

I didn't. Still got BNP for crime though. Guess which one I went for....

 

Same.

 

44.44% Labour, 33.33% Green, 22.22% Lib Dem. Fair enough.

 

66% Green, can't remember the rest of it. So I can gather from this thread that the Green party ought to be doing a hell of a lot better than they are.

 

50% Green, 25% Labour and 25% BNP. That last one is a bit upsetting.

 

I've got no choice but to judge everyone in here who ended up with any BNP answers.

 

I got BNP on economy apparently, although I think I only selected two BNP answers from the list. Likewise, I think only selected 1 green party policy from the Democracy section but it's still put me down as Greens.

 

Honestly I can't see how it would happen. You can pretty much always tell it's the BNP after the first sentence. They use the word "British" about a thousand times, somehow work immigration into things that aren't about immigration, and use words like "scandalous" to describe current policies.

 

Yeah it's really not hard to tell. I think only once or twice I couldn't tell which was outrageously pro-British.

 

Tbf, the two BNP policies I went for are:

We aim to relieve the tax burden by raising the personal non-taxable allowance to £12,500.

We will rebuild Britain's skills base - lost through decades of deindustrialisation - by offering generous subsidies to students who study engineering and science and to institutions offering such education.

Neither of which are that insane or obviously BNP.

 

This whole thing has just made me realise how much I hate my constituency. I was just debating to myself whether I'd prefer to vote Green or Labour at this time, and then I realised it's all pointless because Harpenden-Hitchin has always been Tory and always will be. Peter Lilley has been an MP since 1983 for ****'s sake.

 

You couldn't see anything obviously BNP in "cutting expenditure on all projects which do not serve British interests"?

 

50% Labour 25% Lib-Dems 25% Green....I guess I know who I'll be voting for then.

 

I didn't go for that one because I disagree with it, and if they want to stick their head in the sand about climate change then they can go ahead, but don't expect me to follow suite.

 

Well, you did go for it. I don't think you realise how the site works - each of the six selections is a selection of policies from the same party. You pick one policy set. You don't pick and choose individual policies. If you selected to raise the non-taxable allowance, you also selected cutting all non-British serving spending.

 

Oh I seeeeeeee. I think I need to redo this test.

 

I'm a **** so BNP suit me.....

 

50% Conservatives, 25% Lib Dem, 25% Green. That's much better, and more accurate too.

 

On a different note, the 23 year old who became Cardiff's head of recruitment has some visa issues.
