Poll: General election voting poll round 3

[SPG]

Why should I care ? none of the above apply to me thankfully. I like my job, more than average holidays, dont need a union and not on a zero hr contract.

 

[eatcustard]

Oh how incredibly generous of them. An extra bank holiday!

Yet you conveniently ignore the bigger issues that I quoted. Working hours and employment law, rights which are protected by the EU. Can you name the only country to opt out of this?

From spoiling my Vote i am going to UKIP just to upset the apple cart purely on them announcing cutting foreign aid and putting it back in the UK.

Might be pennies, but at least its going to help here and not some backwater and then put in whatever tin pot dictators swiss bank account.

We don't do foreign aid, we do bribes, we give money to countries whose companies/governments then either decide to invest in the UK or order products/services from UK companies.

We just call it foreign aid because having a "global bribery budget" would look bad

Ah ok, so you're ok jack. Got it.

So it's wrong to vote for one's own interests?

 

[D.P.]

The castle in my village does this (not a pub/club, an actual castle).

It is done everywhere.

I was in Costa Rica last month wondering how the locals can can $20-30 to visit their national park. You look at the small print in places and you see the charge for residents being $2-3.



It is discriminating against race, no, it is providing a discount to residents.
If you are a resident of an EU country then you get all the benefits that entails without discrimination

An Indian that moved to the UK in the 1960s can freely work across the EU just as much as other resident in the UK

 

[D.P.]

Longest working hours in europe,

Less Holdays then europe

Zero hr contracts

Less employment law

No unions

You want to vote Greens or Lib Dems to resolve those issues.

If you believe it's wrong to be selfish - yes. Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted to hear.

 

[D.P.]

Not sure if you read the link I posted by a British Judge ruled that a school's ban on "gang hairstyles" was indirectly racist because it disproportionately (whilst unintentionally) discriminated against black people.

Now you could make the same argument, that black people don't have to have cornrows so there is zero discrimination but the reality is one group are more affected.

Less of European populations are made up of Black and Asian people than Africa and Asia is, therefore whilst a black person in the EU does have the same rights as a white person born in the EU, the policy states that mainly white countries have more immigration rights than mainly black or Asian countries.

If we take your point that free movement of workers within the EU is discrimination then the UKIP solution is also discriminatory.

IF you control immigration based on skills such as a university degree then people from certain countries and ethnic background will be more likely to have that skill or degree, therefore you are racially discriminating to use your logic.



If absolving indirect racial discrimination is the ultimate goal then there is a much simpler solution - allow uncontrolled immigration from outside the EU, that way all countries are treated equally.


But that isn't UKIP's aim, they actually want to discriminate against eastern Europeans and give preference to commonwealth countries. That is direct racial discrimination.

If you really believe that the EU free movement of workers is racially discriminating then take it up with the European court of Human rights - they would be very interested.

Saying that voting for one's own interest is selfish sounds quite ridiculous to me. Why don't I just give everything I have to anyone I come across less well off than me?

I understand you might have empathetic reasons for your voting choice, and that is absolutely fine, but to say it's selfish to vote in your own self interest is a special sort of delusion.

 

[Sankari]

Tories. They've done a good job so far, and I think they need more time to repair the economy.

 

[platypus]

They've done a decent job, whilst being held in check.

Coalition for me .

Being chiefly or only concerned with ones own interests sounds pretty much exaclty the same as being selfish to me. What would you say being selfish was?

Tories. They've done a good job so far, and I think they need more time to repair the economy.

Is this some sort of joke? Perhaps to try to wind a 'pom' up?

But what sort of coalition are you hoping for? I think the Lib Dems have been utterly steamrolled. I can't see them forming government with the Tories again.

Just sharing my opinion, like everyone else.

No I realise this, which is why I'm undecided as to whom I should vote for. I've said a few times I can't vote for what I want.

Just sharing my opinion, like everyone else.

You're not allowed if it doesn't fit .

 

[scorza]

Just sharing my opinion, like everyone else.

Do you get a vote?

[Tummy]

The Lib Dems have no status for me anymore, they have been spineless in the 'coalition'.

I'll never vote Tory or for the BN.. sorry UKIP.

I would vote for the party I'm probably most in line with (the Green party) however, I'm not sure it will have any effect.

Labour for me, I have a lot of time for Miliband and it's nice that he's not been to private school .

 

[RoboCod]

The UKIP is BNP in disguise? The measure of a good PM is if he went to private school or not?

Great measures for voting there.
