"That the democratic will of the people has spoken, right or wrong it matters not, just because some dont like the result and blame it on the media is just a sign they dont like democracy, for every bit of "media" propaganda for one side its easy to find one for the other" You really do have a strangely nieve view of the world. Surely Pat on here alone is enough to convince even you of the power of the newspapers? You think he is the only one in the country that thinks like that? -Matt | |||

"No government left of centre has won an election in the UK for about 40 years. So it shows me why the British people are so successful, wealthy and powerful and respected etc etc etc. And have such an amazing country, unlike the many left wing hell holes in the world. Although we will see if this changes tomorrow. " Strong words, but it's nice to see someone write positively about our country. Read far too many posts recently that sound like we are all doomed. There's a reason why people like to migrate to the UK. There are worse places in the world to live.  | |||

We don't live in the UK but it doesn't stop us admiring it for the great country it is The negativity thrown at ones own country on here is astonishing! How about showing some positivity and optimism for your great country and its future, instead of blaming the media, the politicians or Brexit for the black hole, some of you constantly hold your heads in Your future is bright! ...... So positive energy to you all - whoever wins your elections | |||

Putting forward plans that you know can't work is simply lying. I'm beginning to think that if Jeremy had put forward the £350 million you'd be calling that just being optimistic to. The reality is there is more truth in the £350 million than in Jeremy's £50 billion. But he's learnt the lesson well from the BREXITers. Tell the people what they want to hear, dismiss the expert advice as irrelevant or elitist and pile in the votes. Left or right it's still populist bullshit and you know it to. | |||

" No I point out that todays conservative platform is exactly the same as that of the Nation front in the 1970's... In the 1970's it was overwhelmingly recognised as being Neo NAZI but now we put it in a t suit its suddenly centre/centre right politics and the One Nation (mixed economy) conservatism of Alec Douglas-Home and Ted Heath has become communism!

 , excuse the pun.
I went to bed on the night of the referendum on Brexit thinking. Oh this'll just be a storm in a teacup. We'll vote to remain and in no time it'll all be forgotten. Imagine my disappointment the next day when the vote to leave was announced.
I thought oh shit, now we've done it. But thought. Oh well. The majority have their way and we have to accept, embrace and make the best of it.
However some people don't think like that after an election. They carp and moan and refuse to accept it was a vote that went their way. The next stage of accepting Brexit is to have politicians in charge that may muddle and fuck it up somewhat but at least they'll have tried, rather than constantly moan and carp about it or say we're not doing this or not doing that.
I just hope whoever wins takes that approach, grows some balls and works to bring us together and somehow makes us all a bit richer in the next 5 years coz I am fed up of not having a pay rise. I am on the same money as I was 9 years ago so inflation will have made me loads poorer in real terms, so stick that up your pipe and smoke it if you think 1% smells a bit.

Even the chinese can't censor the internet properly. Its just scare mongering to suggest may can. It is not scaremongering all. They don't have to censor everything, they just have to make it awkward enough that it becomes less desirable to develop software and technology in the UK. However, on the plus side, the government's draconian view on censorship is surpassed by their incompetence to implement anything that would be meaningful. -Matt Well this true especially the last part. Last months new scientist magazine published an article on the subject of A.I, robotics, software and cybersecurity, the bottom line is that britain is way behind and the three main parties are paying lip service but have no collective understanding. Because labour hate business and producitivity and conservatives prefer to skim off the top of existing lucratic industries that don't improve living standards. Neither have any incentive to support future growth industries. Want to start a new political party? :P I think we understand issues far better than the rest." Nah i think the electorate are the bigger problem. I dont believe in a system where everyone can vote and all votes are equal. | |||

"All Im going to say is that I do not like any of the options presented. I might be a leftie but I just dont think I can buy into corbyn. That said, please ensure you read up on this Tory administrations view on the internet and cyber security. Many people say a vote for the tories is a vote for a free society. It is however a vote for allowing a government to try and regulate software development and what is published on the web, and what is censored and what is not. Many software developers openly say new regulations will reducure britains attractiveness as a 4th gen tech hub...which we have only just started to become. Plus if you are voting for any political party to have free reign and the power to limit your freedom of access of the internet, and gifting them the right to censor, you are in part viting for George Orwells nightmare with a modern twist. Even the chinese can't censor the internet properly. Its just scare mongering to suggest may can. It is not scaremongering all. They don't have to censor everything, they just have to make it awkward enough that it becomes less desirable to develop software and technology in the UK.

All parties are set to gain under this system and members of the public would never vote for a system in which their vote counts less thsn others, or might. Plus how would you even tally up the votes. | |||

" Doing a quick bit of Googling on this it seems most of the breakdowm analysis comes from a charity who specialise in this sort of political research, the National Centre for Social Research. I can't find an further information on the political bias or lack of for this organisation. As may be expected the survey size used in this case is relatively small, probably less than 10000 people so like other political polls may have large margins of error. | |||

"You go around calling the tories Nazis which is stupid to any reasonable person and frankly insulting to jewish people, especially when labour has people like ken livingstone in it. I'm simply pointing out to you that the track record of the far left is as abhorrent as the far right. Calling yourself a marxist is as disgraceful as calling yourself a facist. Only an imbecile goes around calling people holocaust deniers for pointing out the genocides that far left carried out. No I point out that todays conservative platform is exactly the same as that of the Nation front in the 1970's... In the 1970's it was overwhelmingly recognised as being Neo NAZI but now we put it in a t suit its suddenly centre/centre right politics and the One Nation (mixed economy) conservatism of Alec Douglas-Home and Ted Heath has become communism! Don't look at me. Look at yourself. Critically!" You've said once before that the Conservatives are fighting on the same policies as the National Front did in the 70s and I will ask you again to point out what those policies are? I will also expect, as last time, no direct answer to the question from you. | |||
