I've never understood people arguing over who the biggest ****s are, a **** is a **** as far as I'm concerned.
I would also like an answer to a question, if possible by someone who knows about politics . If UKIP got their wish to withdraw from the EU would that then mean that every Briton currently living abroad would then become an illegal immigrant and have to come back?
I generally have an election first thing in the morning - ooh sorry misread the thread title
I accepted a long time ago that I'd never be able to get past the rhetoric they reel out.
There's two sides to it... Always. Listen to both sides with an open mind and you find it hard to get behind any of them.
I can't comprehend how anyone has the motivation, time, intellect, resources and desire to actually do the research and create some sort of algorithm to fathom out who actually is the best party to vote for.
Most are just swayed by personal experience with the party (fair enough), PR (foolish), family/community leanings (mega fail) and media crap. I can't understand how people can try to categorically state, almost preach, who is the best party when realistically... None of us have a clue.
No. They'd perhaps have to sort some sort of bridging visa out. Depends on how it pans out.
To me it's like religion, it offers hope, it's like praying but in the end it just doesn't work, all it does is waste your time.
There's one thing that pisses me off about the government in Manchester and that's the roads, the council are ruining the city day by day, so now, I've just stopped going into the city apart from to go to work, which is at 6am 'cause I train beforehand.
There's nothing else that they do that affects me directly, 95% of what offends people comes directly from the media.
Conservative for me.
Labour and SNP getting in would be the worst thing that could happen to this country. You would kiss goodbye to Trident and homeland security.

UKIP for me just because Nigel Farage has made me laugh a few times. Don't agree with many of their policies, but here in Newcastle I believe it's safe labour so my vote is of no significance. I also think it could give politics a kickstart if a good number of people vote UKIP, even if that doesn't translate into too many seats. The big 2 parties need to know that others can threaten them and UKIP have the best chance of doing that at the minute.
I predict a hung parliament and a Labour/SNP coalition with SNP finally conceding to not having another referendum.
My biggest gripe with politics in our country is with parties like Plaid Cymru and the SNP. How is it fair to have parties that will quite openly soloey look out for the welfare of their own tiny parts of the UK, whilst all the other parties need to balance out the interests of the entire UK. It's an absolute joke and shouldn't be allowed. We'll rue the day that Scotland weren't QUITE daft enough to vote for independence imo.

The other day, there was a debate, featuring all of the opposing parties, Milliband categorically stated he will not do any deal with The SNP.
Let's wait and see, nothing would surprise me less than that slimy little **** kicking off his time in charge with a lie.
I know mate, I watched. That's what I mean when I say about the SNP conceding the referendum. Miliband's big issue is with the breaking up of the UK so if SNP change their stance he almost certainly would too imo.
Wouldn't they have to change their name and everything they stand for as well as their stance?
It astonishes me that people want us to continue spending billions on a nuclear warhead. As if half of the world wouldn't jump in and back us if someone threatened us. We don't need it imo. That money could be used to make a real difference to the everyday lives of millions, instead it is used just so we can say "don't blow us up or we'll blow you up". Madness.
Well, arguably yes. But if it's the difference between getting into a position of leverage or not, Sturgeon will have no difficulty in dressing it up as getting the best deal for Scotland that she possibly can.
Without our nuclear deterrent, our world standing would go right down and would be detrimental for all areas of the economy in the long term..
I think I'd give her my vote if she vowed to club that slut from the Green Party, right in the grid, out cold style, at least I'd get value for money.
The morning of the 8th, where I assume we are all waking up to a new Labour Gov't, me and my mates will be making our way to Prague for a messy weekend, so I ain't gonna give a ****.
Disagree completely. In the formative years of nuclear uncertainty, yes. Now so many countries have nuclear capability it's little more than posturing in my opinion. We have very well established allies and lines of trade now and I can't imagine that those would be in any way affected if we decided to jack in our nuclear weapons.
