Who will you vote for?

[D Skelton]

Labour, why? I'm a Working Class Socialist.

As am I. Labour don't represent us now though.

 

[Guest77]

Compare Britain to almost any other country in the world.


We pay our taxes so we have,

Free national health service.

Free education

A police service that is relatively non corrupt.

An army that won't turn on it's own.

And to be fair loads of other things that south america, asia, east europe, China, India ....... Ad nauseum ......

Don't have.

Someone explain to me why the UK is so bad.

Unless your a Tory prime minister of course sending them into south wales

 

[Jonspark]

I'll be voting ukip mainly to pi$$ of the left wing loonies!

 

[trev]

I may be left wing but I'm far from a loony. Using your vote to pi$$ me off is 1 a bloody ridiculous waste of your vote and 2 extremely unlikely to, as you say, pi$$ me off.

 

[andyb]

It is a strange thing to do, waste your vote on private joke that only you are in on.
Will you come out of the polling station giggling to yourself?

I think I'd know a loony if I saw one.

 

[D Skelton]

I don't think he's referring to just 'normal', left wing people.

I think what he's actually referring to are the professionally offended. These people are apologists. Progressive liberals. Haters of their own race. They're thought policing crybabies who whine at every given opportunity about 'racism', 'misogyny' and 'bigotry' because that is all they have taught themselves to see in life, regardless of whether or not it is present. These people are the great unwashed, they dodge soap like there's no tomorrow and they make up the membership of your typical narrow minded protest groups such as UAF and Smash EDO.

Unfortunately, recently, normal people have started associating people like this with being 'left wing', when in fact they're anything of the sort! They are in fact just as 'right wing ' as groups like Britain First and the National Front. They stroll around with their own sense of self rightiousness doing everything in their power to shut down free debate and silence those who disagree with them. They have more in common with the 'fascists' they purport to oppose than even your typical far right nationalist group do.

Personally, it would be nice to be able to take back the term 'left wing' from these complete and utter scumbags who have misused it so much!

I'm watching the poll numbers on here and I do think they show a worrying trend for the "old" 2 main parties.

You might be right, though voting for Ukip to upset the people you are describing seems like lunacy to me.

Personally I don't feel I need to take back the term 'left wing' same as 'reclaiming the Cross of St George'

 

[trev]

I rarely describe myself as left wing for a lot of the reasons mentioned by my learned friend Mr Skelton. I describe myself as a socialist, another term that is increasingly misunderstood and misassociated with people who were anything but socialists.

Mr Skelton you have absolutely read my mind.

And you know the problem with socialism is that one day the money will run out.

What money Jon?

 

[Jonspark]

Do you know what socialism is ?

 

[Jonspark]

Along with George Galloway, socialism is my pet hate.
