Scott Steiner Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Due to Brexit, the ongoing threat of Scottish Separation, Boris' Christmas Party and the increasing number of phobias and isms people apparently have, the bread and butter issues rarely get talked about. I'd love to see politicians debate their fundamental ideological differences and air opposing views regarding a whole host of topics. Nationalisation/privatisation, wage equality and whether we should strive for it, order and structure in a general sense as well as the pros and cons of marriage redefinition, freedom of speech, big tech, animal cruelty, trade with other countries, law and order, abortion, environmentalism, security etc. There's so much that gets ignored now. It's all about labelling, doing each other down etc. Where do you sit on the political spectrum? I'd say I'm right wing on most issues and probably stray into what is now laughably called far-right by many. I do have some left wing opinions though, particularly regarding environmentalism and the nationalising of some services. The banks should absolutely be nationalised IMO. What about ye' all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Apart from organizing some of the chaps down the Rotary to take Barbados back for her Maj, (weather, golf calendar and that beastly Covid permitting), I'd say I was a reasonable and fair minded sort of cove so long as I see you eating a bacon sandwich with more conviction than that Miliband fellow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy for light government and for a decent basket of benefits to support those in difficult circumstances. Mostly? The less government we have the better. I agree about small government in general and also consider myself a one-nation Tory. I used to vote Labour when I lived in Ayrshire but that was only because they had the best chance against the SNP. I'm now in a constituency where the Tories have a chance. You can notice the difference in the quality of people here. Todays left are incredibly authoritarian and seem to want to have the government involved in every aspect of our lives.

Scott Steiner Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Hey DOTL, why do you hate the Kincmeister so much? I've noticed a tendency of the P&B hardcore Nats to despise those who dare to disagree with them. Not all are like this, but it's a significant amount. How come I never come across these people in real life? Any Nats I know personally are just normal folk who'll debate reasonably.
