Poll: General election voting intentions poll

[scorza]

It is their money they can spend it how they like.

Sure they can (as long as it's legal) and also we can see what they spend their money on and form a judgement based on that information. I might suggest that judgement should be more complex than Like or whatever the opposite of a Facebook Like is.

I have personal knowledge of health tourism and it's massively understated, no Government will admit how bad it is as they have no answer to it.

Is this the same kind of facts that Robgmun used? You know the kind where GP surgeries are full of Asians with multiple children because he saw it once or twice?

Or in other words, citation required.

Burnsy2023 failed to reply so i'll ask you, why are you in favor of banning E-Cigs? They're cleaner, no second hand smoke and are used as a gateway to quitting by lots of people, surely that's a good thing?

The EU trying to ban them only because big tobacco companies are worried about profits

They need to be regulated. I mean inhaling unregulated e-liquids on a regular basis, that couldn't be a health timebomb, could it?

You and MoonX should do a comedy duo

Exactly what is comical about my post?

 

[Freefaller]

Sorry, I meant you holding that opinion is fine. I disagree with the opinion you hold.

Cool - and I hope we continue to live in a world where we can stand side by side with differing opinions

I see we've now got 3 people who will be voting for the IRA.

 

[McBain]

Conservative, but if there was an option of 'Anyone but labour' i'd be ticking that.

 

[Westyfield2]

Just received a Lib Dem propaganda email, to an address that is only a couple of months old and I literally don't use it for anything. Most intrigued as to how they acquired my details.

 

[misteranonimous]

Conservative, since Labour doesn't have a clue about balancing the books.
And there are no other parties with a realistic chance of winning.

Nothing, Deus is only 15 or so years old so it's best to avoid reading his posts unless you want to lose braincells.

 

[Judgeneo]

Oh, and incase you think that increasing taxation can balance the books, I draw your attention to our history:

Spoiler

Income has been consistently steady at around 35% of GDP, no matter what, who, or how much is taxed. The only variables to our books historically have been expenditure, and the price of debt.

I hung out with the future leaders of UKIP and they’re actually okay

But you're voting for the current group not the future leaders who are "actually ok". The implication being, of course, that the current leaders are not ok.

You can't trust the Tories with the economy:

George Osborne “took a large risk with the economy” when he imposed deep spending cuts in 2010, and the resulting slowdown may have cost 5% of GDP, or £1,500 for every man, woman and child in Britain, according to a new analysis of the coalition’s record by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research.

As the general election approaches, NIESR used its quarterly Economic Review to publish assessments of the government’s record, by a series of eminent economists.

Professor Simon Wren-Lewis, of Oxford University, argued that the deficit-cutting policy adopted in Osborne’s “emergency budget” of 2010 was unnecessarily aggressive, particularly since interest rates were already close to zero, making it hard for the Bank of England to offset the slowdown that followed.

“The delay in the UK recovery over the first part of the coalition government’s term is at least in part a result of the government’s fiscal decisions”. The final cost will not be clear for some time, he argued, but, “measured against the scale of how much governments can influence the welfare of its citizens in peacetime, it is likely to be a large cost”.

Using the independent Office for Budget Responsibilities estimates, he argued that GDP may have been reduced by up to 5%, or £1,500 per head.

Another complete non-story, amazing.
Guy goes to political rally and sees a debate between parties and speaks to a few supporters of each side who seem to be ok. Well, that's settled it for me, they're alright then!
He does however suggest that currently they've still got a way to go before 'there’ll probably be no more talk of Bongo-Bongo land'.

'Until then, their fight for respectability carries on.' - It's going to be a looong fight.


Also I still notice you didn't respond to mag's post a few pages back, but I expect nothing less

*Does that ethnic minority more susceptible to particular diseases?
*Is the lifestyle causing this? Bad diets? culture of over breeding?

the inbreeding to bring over cousins and extended family though is starting to create a large and expensive problem of genetic disorders.

 

[BuffetSlayer]

Probably won't vote. I will be too busy working my ass off to help repay the national debt

I am a good citizen, can I haz a cookie plz Mr politician?

 

[dirtychinchilla]

I'll probably be voting for the Lib Dems. I like the greens a lot, but some of their policies are just stupid, and there's no way that some of them should actually be allowed. Arguably, I could vote for them on the grounds that they'll never get in power, but to at least help raise their status in the country, but they're just missing a little something.

I think it's a good article about how UKIP are not a bunch of monsters/BNP/Nazis that some like to make out on here. And how people on the left of center have a misconception about them, which his was blown out of the water.

Also I still notice you didn't respond to mag's post a few pages back, but I expect nothing less

Which one? This thread moves fairly fast and i thought i gave him 11 polices when he only asked for 5, he hasn't said anything about what he thought of them. Or more likely he's blowing hot wind and not genuinely interested in UK politics because he's a New Zelander now. Honestly he talks so much dirvel most of the time i kinda tune him out, but if you make the same point i'd be happy to talk

 

[Mr Jack]

You can't trust the Tories with the economy:

Yeah, it absolutely astonishes me that people think that Osborne has done a good job. He's an incredibly poor chancellor, whose failures have given us a truly terrible recovery.

One of the best recoveries in Europe, what are you on about.

What kind of miracle recovery were you expecting.

 

[robgmun]

What kind of miracle recovery were you expecting.

As Labour does, socialists tend to think there's a money tree that never stops and we can borrow without ever having to worry about defaulting.

On the subject of lefties

Question Time last night rocked! Labour were decimated and even George Galloway come of horribly! The audience torn them both to shreds!

I really recommend watching the whole thing, it wasn't car-crash telly, it was a full on motorway pileup!
