Is a vote for a minority party really a wasted one? Can one actually influence anything that happens in Parliament?

George W.Bush?

Amidst the continued outpouring of praise for Ronald Reagan, let's not forget that he was one of the most anti-labor presidents in U.S. history, a role model for the virulently anti-labor George W. Bush.
Reagan's war on labor began in the summer of 1981, when he fired 13,000 striking air traffic controllers and destroyed their union. As Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson noted, that was "an unambiguous signal that employers need feel little or no obligation to their workers, and employers got that message loud and clear -- illegally firing workers who sought to unionize, replacing permanent employees who could collect benefits with temps who could not, shipping factories and jobs abroad."

The motivation for the person standing for the British National Party in Dukinfield came from the hate filled Labour Councillor from the Dukinfield ward. This Councillor had a meeting with the God father of the yobs that attacked this candidates family.
So before you sad Liberals condemn this person for standing for the BNP, take a look at the conduct of this nasty Labour Councillor who is at the centre of a nasty campaign against this bnp man in the area of Dukinfield.

Honestly, isn't anyone else concerned about our future? To the 30 somethings out there...look at what we face...
offshoring of our jobs
global warming
peak oil
the bankrupting of social security in 10 years (possibly)...
With no jobs, no climate, no oil, and no money to survive on, what are we going to do in the future?? Do we really trust our government to solve these problems for us? Look at the WONDERFUL job they have done so far...we are now slaves to China, who can bankrupt us at any moment by selling off our bonds..or slaves to the countries that sell us our oil. Does anyone else out there have an increased feeling of dread for us in the next 20 years? What about OUR children?

With one stroke of his veto pen, the President denied 10 million kids healthcare. And on Thursday the House of Representatives will decide whether or not they're alright with that.
The vote on Thursday will say a lot about where we are at as a nation. Just 15 House Republicans stand in the way of healthcare for 10 million kids.
Are you alright with this?

Why is he allowed to get away with using hundreds of id's to spread his vile BNP propaganda.

Is it because he has a lot of time on his hands as a failed MP?
