@doerayme Really? Where did it go?

RareDenver's avatar

I’ve always voted Labour, my father has always voted Conservative. I’m not going to vote Labour again. I may vote Lib-Dem as I mostly agree with them but is it a wasted vote?

People who vote BNP are people who are tricked by fear and are generally idiots.

@RareDenver
I will give a short list of reasons I will vote for Lib-dems

The only party for a transparent parliament.
Against ID cards
Against labour’s anti terror laws
For the hunting ban
The only party strongly for gay rights
Strongly for laws to stop climate change

Plus how truth worthy their members have come out of the expensive skandle. Plus just generally better ideas.

Generally.Can you as a Labour voter explain the recent free for all expenses scandal.Of course you as a Labour voter endorse this which may lead many to believe that YOU too are an “idiot”.
LOL !Maybe like your party you ought to think before you make statements.

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme because I have voted Labour in the past does not mean I endorse all that Labour party members do and if you think it does then you have just added a little bit of evidence to support my claim that BNP voters are generally idiots.

Also the expenses scandal was a cross-party event

What about the financial crisis?Did you vote for that too?

RareDenver you’ll never win in doerayne eyes. (This is different person same profile image)

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme did I vote for the financial crisis? What does that even mean?

doerayme's avatar

What about the Afghanistan war?MMMH!!! Seems to me that idots vote for all sorts of parties.

doerayme's avatar

What about Immigration?Another well thought out policy!

doerayme's avatar

Lets now look at the exchange rate with Euro countries.Mmmh

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme I think what is being done in Afghanistan is what needs to be done. The Iraq war I did not agree with and that is why I (along with about 1 million other people) marched in protest against it, in both London and York.

doerayme's avatar

Lets also look at the cost of Utilities in your Labour run Country.mmh

doerayme's avatar

Lets look at care for the elderly?Yes the very same people who laid the foundations for you to live safely and sleep at night.
Lets look at the old folk who dare not leave their homes for fear of being attacked in the neighbourhood that they helped build.

I seem to have rested my case!!!

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme so all of society’s woes can be laid at the feet of the government?

doerayme's avatar

You call BNP voters idiots!!!Where the hell do you think it comes from?Blind acceptance my fellow human Blind acceptance.

doerayme's avatar

It is woefull to see ex-soldiers on the streets of London while your party leaders have three month holidays.

doerayme's avatar

All this on the back of Labour policy.I am of a certain age and i have never seen a country hit the bottom like this one under a Labour Government.IT’S ALMOST CRIMINAL.Please remove your blinkers and eradicate your “i’m alright Jack“attitude.

@doerayem

I don’t want to send you off on a tangent again like you did with RD, anyway as these topics are so broad it will be not in my interest to debate such a topics as they will not be resolved here and we both know they would be better debating in person.

My views on the BNP are this, there are many lies about them and hysteria about them lies. Most of their polices are mainstream, some are well let me say out there to the far right. I believe they’re insidious about their own polices and I don’t truth their members, plus I just don’t like their polices one bit and some polices I like, but not many I like.

Nick Griffin’s BNP: Not In My Name

I guess you also missed or chose to ignore that part where I said “I’m not going to vote Labour again.”

DarkScribe's avatar

@oratio Really? Where did it go?

I think that he fell off when it made a sharp left turn.

OpryLeigh's avatar

I definately won’t be voting Conservative (even with the current state that the country is in I would vote Labour over Conservative), I have supported the Lib Dems for a while but like someone else said above, is it a wasted vote?

AstroChuck's avatar

@doerayme- Is this what you wear to the polls?

inthecarofthe's avatar

@Leanne1986
We are suppose to be voting for the MP we want to win, what is more in my favour. Who wins the election is the second most important aspect and isn’t really what we’re suppose to be voting on.
Elections don’t come down to who has the most votes but who has the most MPs. The Tories had more votes than Labour in the last election. If I vote for Labour or Tory in a constituency with a huge majority for the Lib-dems and was unlikely going to change anytime soon for Labour or Tory I may be more willing to agree.

Can i vote for ME , heck everyone vote for ME . I will buy you a new house and pay for it all

doerayme's avatar

@sandystrachan No need to buy the house the British Labour Government will supply it on condition that you are a single mother on weed who has never heard of contraceptive or an active terrorist hell bent on blowing up the Nation that provides.ALL WELCOME to Brittain it’s the land of milk and honey!

@doerayme Thats horseshit .
My wife is disabled and gets rent paid for her .
No1 in the UK and i hate to use that term is a true resident , we are all foreign to this land . It just so happens you have stayed here all your life , your blood isn’t from here originally .

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme my surname first showed up in the UK around the time of the Norman invasion, should I be packed off back to France?

oratio's avatar

Right wing winds are blowing all over the union. It is a bit scary. You hear the same horse manure that BNP spreads in many countries. I believe it’s gonna blow over, but it can make some real damage in the meantime.

doerayme's avatar

@RareDenver This place is just not big enough and does not have the infrastructure to handle the increase in immigration.
It no longer owns any industry,it has nothing to export,it has a crippled NHS,it has a proven corrupt Government, a Labour Party,the Party for the working class and until recently the Two biggest fucking “idots“namely “little n fucking large”!!!One a ships steward who thumps the general public at will and of course Lional TONY Blair who danced around every issue.
The pair of them FUCKED this Country,got wind forthcomming crash and ran like RATS up a drain pipe and left us with a spineless fraudster.
You assume that because i make a case for the BNP that i am some crazed skinhead hellbent on Killing Jews?well let me tell you not to underestimate me and may i go back to you original post ”
People who vote BNP are people who are tricked by fear and are generally idiots“do you now still stand by your view?Do you not think that some of my points are valid?Did you make that post to provoke a reaction and then have the audacity to discredit everything i say!What i see, i see with my eyes!A Country that is on it’s knees,a Country with no pride,a very tired Country.Take a look around chum!

sandystrachan's avatar

The country was FUCKED before Blair and co , it just took them to come into power before people noticed . Everyone had blinkers on and couldn’t see what looking them in the face , but they found people to blame . Did you make your post to provoke a reaction , did the reaction you got come close to what you thought you would get .
And thats aimed at you @doerayme

RareDenver's avatar

@doerayme I stand by what I said about BNP voters.

I have no data but I have a hunch that if you took the average IQ of BNP voters it would be below the national average

doerayme's avatar

and you are partaking in the act of DISCRIMINATION.Hello is there anybody there?

sandystrachan's avatar

No my brain left this thread many a minute ago , it is now sunning itself on a nice warm beach infront of a volcano .

Come on. This is neither a chat box nor youtube. Make some real arguments already.

And I always thought the Brits had a reputation for civility.

inthecarofthe's avatar

@RareDenver please don’t resort to ad hominem attacks, if you think the BNP voters are too deluded to even reason with, why even try and debate?

I’ll finished this when I’m back home tonight bye.

@AstroChuck And I always thought the Brits had a reputation for civility.

This person is very far from being “the Brits”. Not typical at all – in many ways.
