Off Topic Great Britain General Election May 7th 2015.

You can if you're called Lynton Crosbie.

 

It seems you can do whatever the hell you want if you are called Lynton Crosbie.

 

What about Conservative and Labour Coalition ?.Then can then merge and Britain become
one party State. By doing this, you will never hear of SNP Liberal or UKIP again.
After all all politicians are the same.

 

Might as well go back to being a monarchy, at least you know what you're dealing with then instead of livng in a fiction

 

The Labour candidate for Warrington South is Called Nick Bent. Top name for a ****ing politician

Labour's Ed Miliband says he agreed to an interview with comedian and political campaigner Russell Brand to liven up the election race.
"Some people were saying the campaign was too boring so I thought it would make it more interesting," he said.
Brand has repeatedly urged young people not to vote, saying elections change little and that direct action is a more effective tool for "revolution".
David Cameron said he "did not have time to hang out" with Mr Brand.

Media caption Ed Miliband on why he decided to meet Russell Brand
News of the meeting emerged after a picture of Mr Miliband leaving the comedian's house in east London was posted on Twitter.
In a preview of the interview, Mr Brand and Mr Miliband are seen discussing the low tax rates paid by some companies, with the Labour leader telling the comedian "people share your outrage about companies that don't pay their taxes".
But he also addresses Brand's anti-politics stance, saying: "You've got to have a government that's willing to say there's something wrong with this and we're going to deal with it."
The Labour leader insists "there are ways to deal with it".
The full interview is expected to be posted on YouTube on Wednesday.
Mr Brand, a comedian and actor, has become a high-profile, alternative voice on the political scene, campaigning against inequality, benefit cuts and corporate tax avoidance, and speaking up on behalf of the rights of housing tenants.

Political parties are often keen for well-known faces to sprinkle stardust on their campaigns, while some celebrities go a step further and run their own - with mixed results.

Brand hit the headlines in 2013 when, in a Newsnight interview with Jeremy Paxman, he said he had never voted because of "absolute indifference and weariness and exhaustion from the lies, treachery and deceit of the political class".
'Empty stadium'
In the same interview, the actor called for people to shun the ballot box and pursue a "revolution" against the political elites.
Speaking last week, Brand said people should be "more aware" about politics but claimed the general election was "irrelevant" and "dead".
The Labour leader defended his decision to meet Brand, saying he had been asked for an interview and he had been "happy to accept".
While he disagreed with Brand's views on voting, he said the fact millions of people had not registered to vote was a sign that they did not believe the political system made a difference and politicians had a duty to try and persuade them otherwise.

Media caption David Cameron: "Ed Miliband, hang out with Russell Brand, he's a joke"
"There are millions of people in our country who are not watching this election, who are not listening to this election and who think voting doesn't make a difference," he said.
"The danger is that politics is being played in an increasingly empty stadium and if we don't recognise that and if we don't engage in different ways with the people that aren't engaging with this election then we'll have fewer and fewer people voting."
'Not funny'
When asked whether he would also be meeting Brand, David Cameron was scathing about the prospect.
The prime minister said the comedian could be funny when urging people not to vote but added that he "profoundly disagreed" with him - saying people's jobs and the future of the country was "no joke".
"His whole view is 'don't vote, it only encourages them', or something," he said. "It's funny but politics, life and elections and jobs and the economy are not a joke.
"Russell Brand is a joke... This is not funny, this is about the election, our future… I haven't got time to hang out with Russell Brand. This is more important."
In response, Mr Miliband suggested his opponent's comments showed he was "totally out of touch with what's happening in our country".
Nigel Farage, who clashed with Brand on Question Time earlier this year, said he regarded him as an "entirely negative influence on British politics".
Speaking in Hartlepool, the UKIP leader said: "I think to say to young people you should not vote is shameful.
"He has got a lot of followers, he is a big celebrity and he has been very successful in his own field and there's no denying that, but to say to young people 'Don't engage in the political process, it's all a waste of time' - people fought and died so we could be a democratic country, women chained themselves to railings so they could get the vote, and here comes a celeb saying to impressionable youth 'It's not worth engaging with', and I think it's really wrong."

 

Cameron would rather get pink and sweaty and nervous in front of a handpicked election audience by Lynton Crosbie than face a head-to-head debate with the other leaders, or step out of the comfort box that Murdoch and his henchman have made for him. The Tories and their press overlords thought this election would be a walkover by making milliband out to be weak, indecisive and scared, yet Sepp Cameron is the one coming over as Softy Walter unable to cope with the mildest of flack, compared to what Milliband has swatted away with aplomb.

I still think the Tories will be the biggest single party, for no better reason than the herd in this country do whatever the Murdoch media tell them to do. All he can do now is witter on about the SNP, in front another Crosbie-selected audience (notice that they've tried to put every type of ethnic minority behind him for the cameras!).

 

Anything Cameron says makes me want to vomit. Everything he says, and all the others too, is written days before by a group of people and it's discussed tailored and hammered out and then offered to the stupid public as spontaneous speech

No one is ever allowed to ask the important questions and then pick apart the pre prepared replies by the likes of Cameron ect. At best you get one question, get a pre packed lunch answer and then you are not allowed to question that answer.

Political debate is a bit of theatre nothing more.

Any politicians that pretend to take each other on in broadcast debates have rules and there are places neither of them will go in their questions.

 

I agree even though he annoys me in general.

No way we'll get a majority government from this shower.

Let's now see the tedious character assassinations from the Mail and the Sun, and Dan Hodges (the new Woodrow Wyatt) to write in his daily column in the Telegraph how Hawking has lost the election for Labour.

 

Brand is bang on re the financial and geopolitical control over everything, and that cannot be addressed by voting because politicians wont ven discus it and here is Miliband doing exactly that, claiming it is not true.
A basic recent example is the slamming EU farmers have taken over the US insistence on sanctions on Russia, because you know, Russian farmers and retailers and such are totally responsible for the Crimea right? And EU farmers must pay the price for what the Neocons\Conservatives in the US want right?

Ask Miliband about the 1.something trillion in UK offshore tax haven possessions and you will get yet more politispeak and ambiguity.

Ask him about the influence of the major banks on UK politics and again, same bullshit avoidance.

Ask him about the cost of military spending and the infleunce of weapons manufacturers on politics and get same said bullshit.

You'll never get a straight honest answer out of these ****s.

 

Why does he say "this is not true" in a comedy French accent?
