I'm aware of the 'No politics' rule. But as you ask. I'll retort...Right now with the state of the nation there is nothing positive to say. For what it's worth I'll be voting Reform because the other (starts with a c ends in a t and rhymes with blunts) have let us down over the past, what? errrrrr....40 years....Might even be pushing 50 years....I'm hoping they buck the trend. Let's see.

All depends how much wealth you have. His party will not be doing anything for the common man
 
Problem now is that the ‘wealthy’ are not the industrialists of the past. The new ones make money from money that’s been accumulated from kwangos, our utilities , insurance , finance etc they don’t generate jobs directly however they do create funding bodies to enable so many things but also taking money from the pot of which the public purse contributes , it’s complex .
Our pensions are so intrinsically linked with these organisations if we screw them we screw our pensions . It is a vicious circle . In an ideal world our councils and govt would employ people directly as they used to , to deliver services instead of paying margins on service providers which adds to the cost - but that means pension obligations which they don’t want anymore . If you had a huge whiteboard you could literally create the largest ever Venn style diagram linking it all and its effects , it would mess your head .
My age group have possibly worked all our lives onnPAYE and may have been fortunate , we have paid our taxes , and other contributions so feel that it is your obligation and expected - trouble is if it appears that a large section of society can avoid this responsibility either at the top ir the bottom then you feel angry about it and do begin to begrudge what you feel is a system where those working are funding those not .
Sorry a bit convoluted but as I say it’s a huge topic .

Where did you purchase your crystal ball from? Mine is broken and I need a new one.....Has the common man replaced the working class man? Because Labour are doing feck all for either, as if we couldn't guess. Except increase tax to take money out of your pocket and further put the economy into a death spin that makes my super-doper washing machine rinse and spin seem pedestrian. Raising tax = less demand = more unemployment = increasing welfare budget = More tax.

If anything Farage will reduce tax like Trump has done in the US, resulting in increasing demand and falling unemployment.

You do know that job creation in the US is down by nearly a million in the last year, don't you? Can't see that helping unemployment.

Yes but he claims he paid for those flights, valued at 47k. Yeah right Len, just show us the receipts when you get chance mate!
That's not a lot when you consider that Liz Truss spent £500k of public money on flying to Australia and back. Farage was a big fan of her policies btw...

You’re 100% right. What we need is someone who is willing to challenge this, and ultimately challenge the banking system and the ****ers, sorry I mean bankers at the top. I understand this is difficult, without crashing the economy, they have us over a barrel, but something needs to be done.


You only have to look at the miles upon miles upon miles of roadworks with no one working on them for quite literally weeks at a time. It’s basically lining the pockets of the already super rich people at the top.
 
I've seen the same situation, and with a similar 'protest' party that got votes instead of the two main rivals. Don't be fooled. They're a party bankrolled by millionaires/billionaires that if get power, will trumpet the same populist **** but ultimately be a conduit for making the wealthy backers wealthier. They will make life no better for working people and tax payers. A party set up and funded by the rich to make the rich richer.

If youre earning a normal average wage, vote for a far left party as a protest vote - because this is the party that is set up, by political default, to make your life better, not a millionaire's, who just wants to change laws to allow fox hunting or remove extra council tax on their holiday home, under the guise of kicking out brown people.


You mean like the multi-millionaires Rayner and Starmer, or even Corbyn.?
