UKIP aims to replace Lib Dems as Britain's third party - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Mort and Charon;28453225]and we hate the LibDems because they are two-faced wimps, who started a coalition, then have not stood up for any of their Policies.[/QUOTE] Oh, so that's what happened to that coalition. [editline]6th March 2011[/editline] So who are the Liberals suppose to vote for then? :v:

[QUOTE=Billiam;28453218]Uh, excuse my ignorance, but I have absolutely zero knowledge about UK politics. Can someone explain to me why everyone hates the Lib Dems? As far as I know they have a pretty agreeable political platform.[/QUOTE] They're like all political parties, they went back on their promises, they formed a coalition with a party they locked horns with so that they could retain a little bit of power, but it's all show they don't do anything, or at least that I've saw.

I highly doubt they'll make it. Their policies are too far right for any sensible voter to take seriously.

[QUOTE=dookster;28453355]I highly doubt they'll make it. Their policies are too far right for any sensible voter to take seriously.[/QUOTE] 4th biggest party in UK politics, and they have barely any exposure, if they actually managed to get a fair bit of time in the public eye, they could take over the Lib Dems position, I am 100% sure of that. And you severely over estimate the average voter.

UKIP are just the BNP in suits.

[QUOTE=Billiam;28453280]So who are the Liberals suppose to vote for then? :v:[/QUOTE] We don't have anybody any more, which is why it's so shit. [b]EDIT:[/b] *anybody with any chance of winning enough seats to make a difference

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;28447063]Why are there 3 main parties anyway?[/QUOTE] Because we happen to live in a democracy? This would be very bad if it happens. Leaving the EU is a bad idea.

[QUOTE=marlkarxv2;28447548]Why is the Green party bad? Is it because they're eco-[b]SOCIALIST[/b]?[/QUOTE] No, because they want to regulate industry and agriculture to the point of hindering it, if I didn't like socialism I'd move to the US.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;28453402]UKIP are just the BNP in suits.[/QUOTE] My point exactly, they're the BNP with a decent PR campaign, they know not to have the blatantly obvious racist shit the BNP have, they watched the BNP to see what drew voters and what pushed them away and they adjusted accordingly. Wolves in sheeps clothing.

It was a picture of Winston Churchill and captioned with something like "Churchill would never allow us to join the EU" or something like that. It's funny because Churchill actually proposed a "United States of Europe", where the UK would be semi-involved, just like the system we have today.

Fuck that, let's get the OMRLP elected.

Yeah but the thing is the EU is a bit of a hinderance now, they're trying to change our laws and force us to take in more immigrants. Not that the second part is a bad thing its just that these are decisions we should be left to make ourselves. [editline]6th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Metanar;28453434]Fuck that, let's get the OMRLP elected.[/QUOTE] I'm down with that, seriously they sound like the best shit ever. I mean come on man how awesome are these guys: [B]Cool on the outside:[/B] To combat global warming and climate change all buildings should be fitted with air conditioning units on the outside. [B]Wheelie Bins:[/B] The idea of weight monitoring chips in wheelie bins should be scrapped, instead the wheels should be removed, this would mean that if people generated too much waist they could not put their non-wheelie bin out for collection. It would also help prevent them being chucked into canals. [B]Needles[/B] Due to the increasing number of children afraid of needles, I propose the destruction of the tedious, scary and often painful process of school vaccinations. Instead, I propose that highly trained nurses should be given free reign on the playground with specially modified tranquillizer rifles which apply vaccinations as well as a tranquillizer. This would have two main benefits: It would be less scary for the children as they will not know what hit them, also it will be more fun for the nurses [B]Hypocrites[/B] It is proposed that all politicians be made to swear a "hippocratic oath", preventing them by law from being Hypocrites. All politicians should be made to stand by their policies, or or at least admit that they were wrong. [B]GCSE Lottery[/B] It is proposed that, before the beginning of exams, the exam board will select a certain obscure phrase which will be kept secret. If any pupil inadvertently writes this phrase in any exam, he/she will automaticaly receive straight A* grades, and a free teddy. No joke these guys are the cats pj's :v:

[QUOTE=bravehat;28453279]And Sgt Doom don't bother coming back this place is going to the dogs cause of all this fucking hysteria and islamophobia and all the chavs.[/QUOTE]It's home to me, and that's all that really matters. In addition, I don't think it's as bad as you think it is. Negative factors burn brightly like the Sun in the eyes of the public. Though seeing as I grew up on an army base next to a small market town in Dorset, perhaps my childhood memories of England are inaccurate :/ Finland is a nice country, great even, but I just don't feel at home; exacerbated by my severe difficulties learning the language.

Fair enough, to be honest I couldn't leave either, it's home and always will be no matter how shit things get.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;28453196]I'm worried about how them pulling out of the EU would affect my chances of returning to the UK. While having dual nationality (British/Finnish), my British passport has long since expired.[/QUOTE] Well it's a good thing UKIP won't be getting into power.

[QUOTE=bravehat;28453510]Fair enough, to be honest I couldn't leave either, it's home and always will be no matter how shit things get.[/QUOTE] fuck that, I'm moving to Europe ASAP

[QUOTE=bravehat;28453449]-Monster raving loony party stuff- [/QUOTE] One of my friend's dad is going to be our areas representative in the next general election.

I'll probably vote for them to be honest. Fuck can't be worse than the clowns we already have to choose from.

[QUOTE=Nerts;28446796]Nationalistic conservatives, fun. At least it's not the BNP or Green Party.[/QUOTE] What's wrong with the green party? [editline]6th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Coffee;28447651]The greens are bad because they want to get rid of Nuclear power.[/QUOTE] They're fine in moderation, If they where to replace the lib dems then it would be brilliant.

The greens are cocks, they spend a fair bit of time up here in scotland pointlessly protesting about us having Trident.

[QUOTE=bravehat;28452022] They want tighter Immigration control, they see themselves as superior to those coming into our country. [/QUOTE] Almost every major European country is getting tighter immigration policies, it has nothing to do with "feeling superior" to someone in any way.

[QUOTE=PatrickT;28454209]Almost every major European country is getting tighter immigration policies, it has nothing to do with "feeling superior" to someone in any way.[/QUOTE] Or you know, the same sentiment could be felt across Europe? Just throwing that out there.

[QUOTE=dookster;28453355]I highly doubt they'll make it. Their policies are too far right for any sensible voter to take seriously.[/QUOTE] See present government. Now how sensible do you think our voters are?

Voting for the MRLP is just immature and irresponsible, do you really think that it's sensible to give your vote to them on something as serious as how our country is lead? It's the same as the Star Wars crap in the Census, there is a time and way to protest about things, and this isn't one of them.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;28454278]See present government. Now how sensible do you think our voters are?[/QUOTE] Consider that the Conservatives got in only by forming the coalition. I've heard many, many more people who hate the Conservatives than like them.
