RedRob72 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 When are the electorate going to fucking realise that, for the vast majority, they're not voting for Cameron, Milliband, Balls or Osbourne? They're figureheads for Party Machines, not fucking reality show contestants. You only have to look at the priority given to chasing various levels of tax fiddling and the (lack of) jail time handed out for a long line of banking scandals to see who's really pulling the strings - and that won't change no matter who gets pushed to the front. You want change? Hit these creatures where it hurts - in the pocket. First point, unfortunately that's the way it works in modern politics, Second and Third points, agree entirely.

WaffenThinMint Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The lass standing for UKIP against Salmond was announced today as Emily Santos. She looks like a total 'wid' with big chebs. She looks like one of those school teachers that ends up a tabloid headline for screwing one of the students, half the board of governors and the janny.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The first part is the dream scenario, the second part is stupid and childish. If neither could form a government then the election would have to be rerun. If the initial scenario did come about Sturgeon has already said she would support a minority Labour government but not necessarily through a formal coalition. That would be the ideal situation so long as the SNP were sufficiently tough on their demands. Despite the bluster, Labour and the SNP would have lot more in common than would divide them. Obviously the constitutional question would be the main issue of contention but even then I don't think that would be a major issue - there would be nothing wrong with support on an issue by issue basis.

Well done No voters, give yourselves a big round of applause again.... It is. A horrible, horrible establishment - everything from financial corruption to bullying to child abuse and all underpinned by the class system.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 That sort of shit makes me embarrassed to be associated with other yes voters. The same selfish self serving crybaby bullshit every time it comes up. I half agree with you. The told you so's about absolutely everything from both sides (particularly the Yes side tbf) is more than a bit cunty. There is a certain small set of No voters that really do deserve to feel like proper c***s though. Namely the ones who bleated on about "politicians are the same maaaan", who bizarrely used this rationale as a reason to prop up one specific set of politicians. Westminster and the whole British state is systematically corrupt to its core. Anyone who's taken this long to see this is a dafty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
