I voted once and that was because the candidate turned up pissed and bloodied where some kids had jumped him.
My fav colour is blue so I tend to vote for them.
I know its wrong, I dont give a flying shit but I think they are all as bad as each other |

Because if nothing else, they have made the 2 1/2 main parties sit up and think.
The British voter is increasingly getting pissed off by being lied to and fobbed off with promises they cant and will not keep.
Plus they are the only Political party that will give me what I want. And that is. A vote on Europe

They have a few policies worthy of consideration. Until labour and the lib dems stop hurling insults and take on these policies, their support will continue to grow. |

Why bother with a protest vote? The stays quo won't change. If nobody stands for the values you want, stand yourself or join the party that comes close and change it from within. I vote green, not out of protest but because I believe the country will be up shit creek energywise the way we keep ignoring the elephant in the room. |

I won't mention it, mainly because he's married to an immigrant.
Ex banker likes to blame the financial crisis on immigrants though and not the bankers poor choices, wonder how his wife feels about that? |

I think you will find that the word politician will suffice. You could add socialist for a bit more clarity. |

That's flippant. It'd be comparable if your political stance had changed as a result of getting divorced. Has it? |

Possibly the most flawed analogy ever
Maybe the comparison would be should your ex start dating you even though you are exactly the same person as you were when married to her and haven;t changed at all? |

Nope, definitely know you're wrong there, despite me not knowing the actual financier terms i know socialist is wrong, although some politicians do support the financiers with our taxes and whole economical system as they have helped them to create it. |

So the sovereign debt problem in Europe was the fault of bankers? Maybe they could face an aiding and abetting charge but that would be about it.
As for the politicians you only have to take a look at the problem country's to see where the fault lies. In 2008 when the whole thing went tits up Spain was Socialist, Greece Socialist, Portugal Socialist, Italy Socialist. Even today the second largest economy in the Eurozone (France) which is teetering over the abyss of bankruptcy is, yes you guessed it, Socialist. Also in 2008 Browns Socialist Britain came very close to really going broke. "No money left, we've spent it" revive any memories? |

Protest vote, yeah why not.
Each party in power has its victims, its the way things are.
Do I believe Britain is full of hate filled sexist, homophobic and racist lunatics, no I do not.
I hope I'm right as it would appear that UKIP has taken everybody by surprise, gaining support on a daily basis.

I'll answer my own question shall i?
How many people, using this forum alone, have invested in this government and it's debts? How many of you have millions in bonds and investments? You lose that money you invested. Oh, i haven't invested anything, nothing for me to lose, but i had to support the banks bailouts and their investors with my taxes for some reason.
These rich pricks are scared of becoming you, that's all. They look down on you, use you for whatever means they want because they don't think you're worhty of anything more than that. They psychopathically warp you into stereotypes to blame each other so that they don't lose all their money and power and become you. Fucking sad half of you fall for it as well, wouldn't wipe my arse on any of these sick bastards, never mind vote for them. |

A) These days mostly to the Chinese.
B) It matters because the interest payments needed to service the debt come from either taxation or more debt, leaving a lot less money to spend on the services that matter. Also (the same as for a personal loan) if you knock your creditors you either cannot get any more credit or (as happened with Greece) the interest rates become so high that most government spending is focused on paying it and austerity bites very deeply.
There is no such thing as free money. |
