Not the Tory party... Their whole ideology is built on self reliance and personal responsibility

Good one.

[DodgyAgent]

That just describes any political party

Not the Tory party. They are more power hungry and driven by ego rather than a sense of "giving something back to society"

Their whole ideology is built on self reliance and personal responsibility. If you think about it labour and greens believe that everyone is a victim (except the rich of course) that needs their help.

it is actually a front for people who are attention seekers and or are aggrieved about something.

Makes I larf when the sign at the entrance exclaims "Open 24/7", what about Saturday, Sunday and Monday then

The ones in Scotland are open 24x7 (that includes Saturday, Sunday & Monday)

Tesco (and various other supermarkets) are already open all day on a Sunday in Scotland (many of them 24 hours). What kind of backwater are you living in?

You should see our manifesto.
a tax on church flowers and compulsory opening of tescos for 10 hours on a sunday

Send me a copy in the post and I'll keep it in my portfolio.

Even if it was the Atheist Party?

I assumed you meant manifesto since we were talking about party-central policies/beliefs.

Anyway, if I were forming a government and I had the most excellent d000hg available for my home secretary, I would not rule you out because you believed in God and I did not

The clue's in the name GREEN party. Environmentalism IS a key issue.

And I don't think portfolio was the word you were after?

If you have an Environmental secretary one of whose roles is to mitigate against climate change and he is very effective
would you sack him because he does not believe the climate change is caused by a trace gas ? The greens would

and you should stay out of these discussions if you don't know that portfolio is the name for a ministers brief (responsibilities)

I was talking more about govt than MP, but the point is the same.
A party usually has a broad range of opinion, from wet to hawk etc.
Some people might even harbour beliefs that they don't publicise, but sacking someone for beliefs that have nothing to do with their portfolio is absurd

As much as I hate the scrounging pigs in parliament, expecting them to memorise every single figure regarding every single policy they have is bonkers, that right wing skunk nick ferrari pulling himself senseless around his studio by his pan handle because some woman didn't know within a few seconds figures surrounding the costing of building hundreds of thousands of affordable homes is despicable.

She she have kicked him in the nuts.

She couldn't even get within £100 billion of a figure. On that basis She probably wouldn't know where a pair of nuts on a man were
