Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostYep, UKIP want a points based immigration system similar to Australia,NZ, Canada etc. Since we cannot legally do this in the UK due to the EU running our country, first we have to leave the EU and then we can control our borders as we in the UK see fit. Simples. Of course the EU ninnies and the hand wring lefties will scream racism at every opportunity.

Green or UKIP are the only honest choices. Labourservatives? Same old faces, same old shambles.

Why bother voting at all - since no matter whom you vote for - the Government always gets in ...

Also as I live in an area where there are no shale gas reserves under me I shouldn't give a tulip if those on benefits in Blackpool suffer a few earthquakes.

Lobby groups aren't just big business and the unions, though they have more money so are better at spreading their version of the truth. However this sometimes backfires.
Yes the system is corrupt but Labour and the Tories use focus groups and think tanks to sound out a lot of their policies out. So if you have a chance to make your voice heard do so.

Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostBy Lobby groups I mean big industry or Unions in the case of Labour. Take for example Fracking, what appears to be gov formulated policy has actually been heavily lobbied for and then dressed up in the usual way as jobs, consumer benefit and growth. They even employ PR comms companies to spin it to the media as something good. A well known one is owned by a Tory Peer who was prior to that a PPC their tag line is "Making sure the debate has a successful conclusion". What hope is there when it is so corrupt?

Originally posted by TestMangler View PostMost people at the grass roots level of a political party believe in what they are doing. Take the torys as an example. Retarded people like DA and Whinestrone think they are 'tories' because they've done relatively well financially (i.e better than your average worker) but the truth is the upper echelons of the party wouldn't piss in their mouths if their teeth caught fire.
