Do you agree with my old Mum?

Question

I don't usually cuss but I had to say 'Damn' when Gordon Brown went out to Iraq and said a 1000 soldiers will be home for Christmas and it turned out to be spin, because I was going to vote for him in his snap election and now I can't because it's still the same old stuff we've been getting for ten years now. Mmm- Ming or Dave?

Answer 1

Totally agree - give Ming a ring or have Dave!
(OK - have and Dave don't rhyme but that's English!)

Why don't you start a party - you sound like an improvement on the present contenders! (Let me know when you want my vote - but I'll need to see your manifesto first!!!)

Answer 2

Dave it is very important that the mainstream parties get a very bloody nose at the next election. New Labour is turning on the soviet kind of democracy to control the masses. Identity cards tapping of private home phones by the Police, Local authorities, Tax offices etc. and changing our constitution without the peoples consent i.e. No Referendum.

We the people simply have to stop a government out of control.
Voting BNP or UKIP is the only vote that makes sense , use your freedom to vote while you still have it.

Answer 3

If your old mum says she's sick of the same old tory policies from all the main parties and if she believes it's time for a genuine Party that fights to end poverty, war and this "free" market madness we have to endure every day then I agree with her. She's thinking what a lot of ordinary people are thinking which is why the Party with the highest proportion of the votes will probably be None of the Above (those who don't vote).

Answer 4

If you really could change things with elections and democracy, it would be made illegal. It doesn't matter which "face" you pick to be prime minister they have no control anyway, it is the people behind the scences who you never see that really run things.

Don't pick any of the big three, have a look at some of the independent parties and vote for these. If enough people do then maybe things really will be shaken up.

Answer 5

What snap election? I dont believe him at all. Mums the word but he is such a spin expert! Dave's the boy

Answer 6

Did you notice the faces of the soldiers behind Gorn Brown in the photos, their expressions said all I need to know about what they thought of him and being used for a photo opportunity spin.

Answer 7

all three parties are full of lies and spin. doesn't matter who you vote for. we shouldn't tolerate this stupid no choice situation. the time has come to bump the idea that a vote for a smaller party is a wasted vote. its a moronic and stupid notion. how are the country's true feelings to be measured if we don't vote with our hearts. imagin two million people all saying i wont vote for that party even though they stand for every thing i stand for because they have no chance of getting in????

Answer 8

You fallen for the other side's spin. He said 1000 troops were being withdrawn and than is exactly what is happening. You need to read what he actually said, not how others have spun what he said.

And spin wasn't invented 10 years ago. The Tories were doing it before then. In fact you can go back many years to see how news stories have been spun - even news of the Battle of Waterloo was spun by Wellington to play down the involvement of our European Allies in the victory.

Answer 9

Dave defiantly, he is our only chance of getting out of the EU ( or at least stopping them taking even more away from the UK )

Answer 10

Dave, about time we let someone younger have a go, see whether he can live up to the promises he has made. He's a lot better looking than the other two as well so I'd rather see him on tv.
