We need change from the old 2 party system. But whilst the elite keep a firm grip on the propaganda media machine that tells the sheep how to think we`ve had it !
"Ed will never be a champion pool player - even with the tricks I taught him - but he'll make a champion PM." Here's Ronnie O'Sullivan on why he's backing Ed Miliband for Prime Minister: "I’ve won five world snooker championships, made 792 century breaks, and got up to all kinds of mischief. But one thing I was never interested in was politics. I thought the whole thing was pointless - that politicians were all the same and that they were all out for themselves. But now I’ve changed my mind. And that's because of Ed Miliband. It started when someone I know asked me to play pool with Ed. I agreed because I thought it’d be a good chance to show him up. I also knew some people who worked with him when he was a Minister - they said he was a great guy so I wanted to find out for myself. To be honest, I was a bit sceptical. But he surprised me – and not just because my mates were right about him being a decent bloke. He's also pretty useful at pool. We talked about lots of things while we were playing. We talked about values and trust, and how we should be looking out for each other – not just letting people at the top prosper while leaving everyone else to scrape through. True, there are parts of Ed's game that need improvement, but he’s right about all the important things and he’s going to sort out the things going wrong in this country. Ed knows health, jobs and family come first. And he stands up for working people. I never thought I'd be urging people to vote for anybody, and if you told me last month I’d be sitting here writing this I’d say you were having a laugh. But Ed really does want to change things for the better. And I genuinely believe he’s going to stick to his word, and not break his promises like other politicians. That’s why I say: vote for him on Thursday. Not because I’m a particular fan of Labour, but because I think Ed is the only true voice of the British people. I genuinely believe that he will bring the real and positive change to our country that the majority of British people want. And electing a Labour party led by Ed Miliband is the only way to make that happen. This week is important for Ed, and for the country. I didn’t manage to make the finals this year, but Ed did - and I know he’ll do whatever we can to win. And Ed’s battle really matters. It will change the direction of the country. He’ll make it work for people like us, not just David Cameron’s mates. Ed will never be a champion pool player - even with the tricks I taught him - but he'll make a champion PM."
First time for me to vote Conservative as well. Not that I'm overly impressed, it's just that the alternatives are awful. Plaid. OH MY GOD. I have worked on several Plaid Cymru conferences. They are the most deluded bunch of people I've ever come across. I honestly refuse to believe that they believe what they are saying ! At a conference last year she actually said she will have 3 million conversations with the Welsh people and will be the main party in Wales come the election. What is she talking about ?????
I would never vote tory if they were the only party running for election.......I have a long memory......
But Dai, surely what a government did thirty years ago shouldn't carry much weight with the people who are there now ? Thatcher was back then. It's not the same now is it ? You can't hold David Cameron to account for the miners strike. I don't trust Labour because of the damage they caused last time, but the worry for me is that they are saying the same things again - which is why I won't vote for them.
The problem with the conservatives is that you scratch the skin slightly, and they have the same mindset as when they were in power under thatcher and major. We can't blame Cameron for the miners strike true, but we can blame them for the bedroom tax, which is reminiscent of poll tax. We can blame them for the discrimination of the disabled. And we can blame them for the cut in services by councils.
Did any of you know that the ‘Tory’ or ‘Tories’ were initially terms of abuse used by Whigs (Liberal Party) and it originally meant ‘Irish Catholic Bandits’? They were not liked even in the days of Charles II, they are Royalist, and believe in the Divine right of Kings, the king’s prerogative and hereditary succession? They were also strong supporters of the Anglican Church against Catholics and Dissenters. Such beliefs as a whole were challenged in the reign of James II. His drive to push the country to Catholicism was bound to conflict with the Tory belief in upholding the Anglican Church. There were those Tories who sided with James simply because he was king, but there were also those who sided with the Whigs in the 1688 Revolution that removed James from the throne. He was replaced by the Protestant William of Orange and Mary. Anyway they have been causing problems for far too long and are well passed their sell by date...........
So, at this point we have 11 x Right Wing voters (All "Scum" obviously) 12 x Left Wing voters (Some of whom are anti-muslim, nationalist and anti-Europe) and 1 x "Whore" in the centre
Well, they're normally in the middle Interesting that the vote is near identical to the polls which are currently running.
Love the way Aberavon voted for a guy who lives in Denmark 90% of the time!!! Now that's delusion especially when Captain Beany was available.
I suspect that, as the last man standing (Milipede gone, Clegg gone, Farage gone) he can live with that.
