Those who just can't be bothered to go to the polling station are the ones who annoy me and they should be killed.

While I agree that responsible people should vote, I think that statement's a little radical. Silly, too, as one could hope for Labour voters to stay at home.

At least you vote, for which I respect you. Those who just can't be bothered to go to the polling station are the ones who annoy me and they should be killed.

If you don't want to vote, go to the polling station and spoil your paper, but don't just ignore it! Too many people died to get you that vote.

...ha ha

It`s the only way.

I`d rather pay 90% tax rate rather than see any of those toffs get into power.

You live outside UK and probably don't pay UK taxes anyway.

[Mich the Tester]

nah Clark`s to good for them. Although at heart I`m a neo liberal, believing in allowing busineses to flog their employees, I`d rather pay 90% tax rate rather than see any of those toffs get into power.

Wherefore does one harbour objections toward 'toffs'?

Clarke is appalling, an egocentric with no grasp of democracy. Not just the Europhile thing and what he has said on that, when he was min of Ed he rode roughshod over everyone who disagreed with him. Much of the blithering overspecification of the curriculum was down to him. One of many politicians who needs to be soundly shot.

But compared to Ed Balls? Surely a saint! Ed balls needs to be waterboarded for one hundred and 17 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes non stop. And then forced to eat his wifes poo.

Yeah, yeah, but apart from all that he's OK isn't he?

Not stab-stabbity-stab?

Agree - and true. But its not like he hasnt done well out of it.

No, unfortunately people tend to choose what's convenient for them to think (dogma) rather than the right thing: that's why education should be very good and children should learn from school long term consequences of their decisions - like getting into debt etc. A lot of problems can be avoided with proper education, though this would mean a cut in meeeeeeedia studies courses.

It shows he has got principles - even if you don't like idea of joining euro you'd have to admit that this is a good quality on politician, being wrong on that beats being a lieing scumbuckets who tells people what they want to hear.

Quite true.

What a pity that such a skillful politician as Ken Clarke is a europhile. It's cost him at least two leadership elections.

But if he can knock seven colours of shit out of the Labour party, I'd love to see him anywhere on the front bench (other than leader or chancellor).
