It doesn't take any "deep thinking" to know that NOBODY is going to choose B...\nAt least, they won't EVER admit to it...\n\nBut, I have to wonder....\nHow many people really WOULD choose "B"...if they thought their reputation would die with them...AND they knew they could get away with it??\nWell, let's start with politicians......

Voting apathy is only a problem for the elected representatives (MPs and councillors) of the people.  They fear that if not enough of us turn out to vote, they will feel they do not have a mandate to govern.  I think we reached that point about fifty years ago.  If the turn out is under 50 percent, how can any politician legitimately claim to have received a mandate from the people to govern them?\n\nLocal elections are a case in point - the same shipload of cut-throats get re-elected time and time again.  They draw huge expenses (at our expense) and waist their time going on various jamborees abroad to see if the wine is safe for us to drink back home.\n\nMPs are the worse scoundrels.  Many of these thieves draw expenses amounting to £150,000 pa on top of their already bloated salaries of £60,000.  God only knows what government ministers are paid - something resembling a telephone number I should think.\n\nOn the whole I think the British people are let down badly by their representatives most of whom pay little or no attention what so ever to what we the people are saying, once they're elected that is - another five years on the jolly waggon at our expense.  And to cap it all, these people want us to pay for their political parties and their profligate spending.  Oh, never mind, the tax payer will foot the bill.  VOTE NO to that by the way.

I read a few of minister Kip's post's and he gives some pretty good, honest and sincere answers.  He seems to be a good guy.  I'm not too familiar with the other minister though.

Absolutely. They should be encouraged to see the way our Parliament system / senate is run and how the actions of politics affects our lives.

The growing support for the NF and BNP is brought on by today's completely unbalanced media reports from all sources.  Not all Muslims are terrorists, not all Jews are tight and not all whites are chavs and not all squaddies are thick ;-) \n\nWe only get to hear about Muslim men/women being detained and charged, never Christian or Catholics, Hindu's, Sikhs or Jews.... why is this?\n\nThe more the media incite this type of behaviour, the more the Muslim communities will retreat into their own circles causing more misunderstanding of what is fundamentally a very peaceful religion. \n\nI grew up in a very multicultural environment and I never experienced the type of segregation being experienced today, all kids played with one another, white, black, Muslim, Hindus, there were never any problems... then again, probably easy to say that when you are white.  \n\nThe BNP in my own view are no better than the terrorists they claim to want to protect us from and they prey on the votes of the fundamentally stupid.  \n\nDoes anyone truly believe that the BNP would be capable of running the country in it's entirety. They take a very narrow view of British politics... \n\nNow i think I've ranted for long enough!

Yes and no!! Yes because we know they are not REALLY concerned for our health!  No because,as smokers,we KNOW the tax we have to pay,but we CHOOSE to pay it!! So ask yourself,who are the real mugs?? I know I am! The budget is due shortly,yet another increase....................\nmoan......moan........moan!!!!!!\n      *********Just a note************\n As Alchohol levels reach record high, misuse among all age groups is estimated to cost the NHS pounds 1.7bn a year. !!!!\nSo smokers are NOT the only ones!!!!!! How many of you on here, condeming smokers, drink?????????? Hypocritical???????

LOL!  Britian must be nice.  A Conservative/Liberal coalition would NEVER happen here in the U.S.\n\nIt doesn't sound like the Labour Party is going to be successful, whenever your next election takes place.

not bloody many i bet .the same can also be said of British members of Parliament

LOL!!  That's a great point, I hadn't read those statistics.  I guess it's 'cause the Lib's have made a smoke and mirror's campaign suggesting that they fight for the "working man", and since the vast majority of the population makes less then 70K per year, that's who the Dem's try to appeal to.  It makes them look good I suppose to bash people like me, who put themselves through school, worked hard, and now has a job well above the national average.  It's a snow job.  I've always thought that the major distinction between Dem's and Repubs is that Repubs believe it's the governments job to create and sustain a country where you can achieve happiness, while the Dem's of today believe its the governments job to try and provide it.  If you work towards achieving your own happiness, I think you often fall into a higher tax bracket because of your ambition and work ethic.  Good question, thanks!

I would give a big no to this question. As long as our politicians dont create equal oppourtinities for the wide group of population, a tax payer will be forced to share the tax with a big number of non contributing citizens of this country. This means, what he is going to get is only going to be 1 by 100th of what he pays.

You;re probably neither, party politics never really fits snuggly with one's personal beliefs. Obviously im in the UK so its different parties but i believe the principal is the same, i vote Liberal but i do not agree with everything they say, its just as a previous answerer said its about chosing the lesser of the evils for yourself.

Assuming by "BNP" you mean Nick Griffin's near-fascist wankers:\n\nIt's up to you.  Do you feel that your work for him makes him wealthier, or empowers him to do evil with the free time your labour gives him?  Or might decent people think the less of you because you work for the BNP barstard?\n\nI certainly would look for other work right away, unless my family was completely dependent on the money I brought in.

Why don't you say what you mean and use the word white rather than hiding behind a euphemism - or is the right wing in the UK becoming politically correct?\n\nI'm assuming you do mean white and not indigenous, the two words not being necessarily synonymous. Do you really think that the political leaders of any party, including the BNP, really care about the colour of a person's skin, their ethnic origin or religion. What they do care about is obtaining and retaining power. To that end they will use any ploy - including racial and immigration issues.\n\nNone of them really care about the ordinary people of the UK - to them and the people they really serve we are cheap labour, a commodity to be exploited, no matter what our origins.
