Off Topic Political Debate

Not on my screen deary..

 

You've either got suggestions turned off or you're not doing the right thing

I work in IT, you're not going to teach me how google works...

 

Oohh - look at me, I work in IT

 

Haven't you got a Hooters to go to?

 

There is only one in the UK, it's in Nottingham - football supporters know these things

 

Fixed that for you

 

Pooh - look at me, I have admin rights on a ****e web site of a football club I do not even support - go me.

 

I'm not a Watford fan now?



I don't have admin rights too, you're wrong yet again.

Knowing where there are branches of Hooters doesn't make you a real football fan...

 

Stop it the pair of you! I come on here hoping that superhorns and cologne have ignited their long running battle and all I see is you two bickering. At least if you're going to argue, let it be of some substance instead of bloody Hooters and Google......

 

I'll leave it at that...

 

Thank goodness

 

I have just checked it... and is true for Labour, SNP. Libdems, UKIP..

and nothing for
Tories

I am lucky because Greens are good for you apparently!!!

 

Obviously The Greens must be backhanding Google as well then!

 

It works for 'The Green Party are...' useless and communist are the first suggestions...

 

To be fair when i put in "conservative party are" i get racist and bad and right wing

 

So it gets it right occasionally then

 

All other variations have been removed though. Google takes into account every word/space entered when searching.

 

If all of the handbags have stopped flying then I would like to raise the question of election expenses, which is, maybe more important than where Google leads me. The accusation is there that Cameron bought the last election. The last electoral term saw an unprecedented hike in the amount that parties are allowed to spend at an alection. The Tories ignored the Electoral Commission and secured a 23% increase in spending. The Tories have amassed a 78 million pound war chest over the last 4 years, which gives them a big advantage in the swing seats. For reference the Greens spent 300,000 at the 2010 Election. My question is - should private sponsorship of political parties have a top limit, or could it be stopped altogether.

 

Wasn't that meant to be part of the 'deal' for party sponsorship? I thought trade union funding was meant to be opt-in per member as long as funding per individual was also capped.

As the Tories took charge they just instantly put forwards the union bit but left the individual donation bit out of it...
