Off Topic The Politics Thread

[bobmid]

Quick question that my son asked me after accidentally watching a Sunday morning political show (he cant remember which one). How is left and right side politics defined? I asked him what he meant? He said well, what does a person who is on the left think is correct and what does the one who votes on the right think? Told him to Google it !!

His reply after googleing it......"gutted the season has finished"!!

Tell him that those on the left care about everybody, whilst those on the right care only about themselves. It's good versus evil. Leftists wear white hats and right-wingers wear black - or is that just cowboy films?

That's a little unfair. I don't just care about myself. I also care about you and sometimes feel a twinge for Oslo. Mostly me, though,

A perfect example being Venezuela where Maduro loves his people so much he's starving them to death whilst ensuring his military are well looked after...

They don’t actually have any policies though. It’s quite easy to pump out meaningless slogans you’ll never have to back up when you’ve got millions of actual morons desperate for their win to finally be realised. It’s a different ball game in the unlikely event they ever actually have to do any adult politics. Has Farage ever actually done anything but shout from the sideline?

Nothing changes does it.
You call leave voters morons, Strolls calls us freaks and here we are, 3 years on, with the result of the referendum still being contested.
Remainers simply cannot accept the fact that we voted to leave by a clear margin, due to their almost religious devotion to the undemocratic EU.

(Cue all the old arguments and insults)

You live to be offended.

Fortunately we are the snowflakes.

Bit harsh, calling them wot voted Leave morons, matey-peeps.

As I said on earlier contributions, carry through on the Brexit and chaps like Mr Nigel **** off back to their privet hedges, gentlemen’s clubs and after-dinner speaking circuits. He just wants Parliament to deliver on what it asked the people. It’s quite simple, really. Even I can grasp that and I’m one of them thar morons.

I know plenty of morons who voted leave, I know plenty of morons who voted remain. I also know plenty of decent folk who voted both ways. We are all bloody morons for believing the politicians we elected to represent us. They are no better than the unelected politicians who represent the EU in Europe. I personally dont trust any of them, May, Corbyn and especially Farage. Hence I will be changing my vote to - not voting.

 

[kiwiqpr]

Don't vote either way
Don't complain about the outcome

What difference does voting make **** it changing my mind again as I definitely will need to feel the right about complaining about something!

All ballot papers should include a ‘none of the above’ option.

Only by not voting do you retain the right to complain about anything you like. Voting legitimises the system which has brought us to where we are - hating each other. They are kidding you that the only alternatives are the ones represented on the ballot paper.

I could never be offended by anything an immature chap like you throws at me (plus those who like your infantile posts).

I was merely pointing out that, three years on, you are still resorting to throwing insults at leave voters.

Quite sad.

The only thing that not voting does is to benefit the party you like the least and could never have voted for anyway. The system is not worried about whether the turnout is high or low - for them it is legitimate either way - but the lower the turnout is the more chances you have of a freak result.

5 guests on Andrew Marr this morning. All Remainers. Of course.

WiseMarr. Only ones likely to talk any sense.

Just a little twinge? Like an anal fischure, or a ripped haemeroid perhaps.? Or have you had to stand in that passport control queue at Stansted again. I think I said you need to get the chip in your passport, not tattooed inside your knickers.
