The General Election Thread

[Ronnie the Rep]

If you believe in me me me vote tory

If you want a just fair and equal society vote socialist

Easy game this

Same old same old from you. Your idea of a fair society isn't everybody pays their way. It's always lets hit the contributors harder and harder

Complete bollocks as usual

Hit the contributors harder?
It would be a start if those with the most would contribute at all.
When the working poor are being attacked I will stand up for them, not bollocks, just common decency

As per usual. You only pick the top and bottom and ignore the vast majority in the middle who are the biggest contributors

Far from it, but when I see people lying on the streets every morning I am walking to work, when I hear of people during on trolleys in our hospitals, when 1,000,000 British people have to rely on foodbanks to eat, then yes, y/quote]
I don't think anyone, Left/Right/Centre, could argue against that. However, those that make the decisions have their snouts well and trully in the trough, and have more in common with the greedy fuckers that hide their money than they do with your everyday voter. They're all c**ts, and I'm surprised that anyone would think any differently.

The only Country to have an Obesity and Food Bank crisis , they should live together , problem solved

I think you have forgotten the country our "leaders" are so keen to copy, the good old U S of A

Law, whether in the UK or USA , Tory or Republican , they have abandoned true Conservative values, all modern Governments depend on people being reliant on them

And it is us in the middle that are being squeezed the tightest, the difference is you blame those at the bottom that have also suffered while I blame those at the top that have been largely unaffected by "austerity" can afford to contribute their share but use dubious methods to avoid contributing, I think it was an American billionaire that said their cleaner paid more tax than them, we are going the same way (if not already there) and I feel it is a disgrace

I'm in the middle as well. I don't want to pay for some feckless twat who can't be bothered to save and as we are talking about pensions the high earners only get what they put in. The only exception are those civil servants on final salary pensions.

Many of whom took pay cuts and lower salaries due to the pension scheme they signed up to when they signed their contract of employment

Terms and conditions of jobs do change i'm afraid, it is possible to be annoyed with the rich and poor you know, you don't have to be a one trick pony all your life

Annoyed with the rich AND the poor, great idea, do you want to advise George Osborne that?

It might have already been posted but Vote for Policies is back for the 2015 election.

For those who don't know, it's an online polling survey where people are given a selection of policies to choose from and at the end it tells you which parties those policies belong to and which one you should vote for if you were basing your decision solely on policy.

Last time the Green party won by a landslide with their policies. This time they're doing well again but are practically neck and neck with Labour. Conservative are bottom of the pile (below even UKIP) with 12% of the national share.

It doesn't tend to 'matter' in the grand scheme of things. It's not reflective of reality because it doesn't take into account things like tactical voting, the FPTP system, and not to mention a lot of people will vote for their party like they support their football team, regardless of the policies they have. However, it is a good way of raising awareness of what you're actually voting for and I think that is for the best.

Christ I hate UKIP and somehow ended up choosing 30% of there policies!. Need to go have a lie down

Like i said a one trick pony

When the financial crash was caused by casino banking but the tories feel that the middle and lower should feel ALL the pain while those at the top cream off more and more, be dammed sure that I will hold them to account.

IF tory policies had been to "share the pain" as "we're all in this together" then I would understand the cuts, however all we are seeing is the standard and quality of life for the many deteriorate while those at the top are allowed to continue with their "motmorally repugnant" tax dodging, the bankers bonus payments continue then I will continue.

I don't see anything about inequality in what you've said that isn't equally applicable to the last Labour government.

By all means complain about where the money's going but government spending hasn't been remotely cut. Since the last election alone about half a trillion pounds worth of as-yet uncollected taxes from the future has been spent while another £50 billion has been printed. All that is on top of the hundreds of billions that was printed and hundreds of billions of future tax spent in the last parliament. We're spunking money we haven't got up the wall now just as fast as we were under the last government. If you want to see cuts, just wait until the chickens come home to roost.
