A mess.  Our society would be alot better off if we tried to equalize the money a bit.  We are not making much headway doing it the way we are.  I would be willing to join a political party that thinks we should take care of our own country and it's people.  Global warming and the loss of fish, other animals and the state of our rainforests really has me worried.  And I am ashamed that we as a country have not learned to be above war.

It makes me very angry, as it shows such a flagrant lack of empathy for our fellow mankind. The attitude that wealth is some sort of 'birthright' is outrageous.. it is simply a case that some people were lucky in where they were born, some weren't. So why not share the wealth? \n\nI think a lot of it is down to xenophobia as well, and fear of people being different to oneself, and that needs to be cured with education and information, which the government should be providing, rather than nurturing this self-protective, anti-foreigner approach.

The above question is neither for or against the Monarchy, it is asking your opinion!! So not jumping to conclusions on whether or not YOU personally want rid of them I shan't insult you as I answer. As a previous answer states the vast array of anti-monarchy answer show just how many people have "sour grapes" Things like: Why should people be born into wealth? and: Why should they get to spend vast sums of money on frivolous things when they have never worked a day in their lives? Easy answers to those two really- the first is just jealous people who are irked because they weren't born into wealth. The second is slightly more worrying. The people who say this don't seem to have a grasp on reality, everyday there is some TRASH written in tabloids and rags all the country over slurring the royal family or revealing some dirty secret. Everyday the Queen has to listen to inane country legislation and discussing it, some days more important than inane. In times of rememberance and worry the Queen is there-someone to look up to and listen to-indeed someone to respect- the countless charities that exsist solely because of Her? RSPCA? RSPCC?  The thousands She has raised for charities? The millions upon millions She and her family bring to THIS country. Which by the way is HERS'! We were given the right to rule the country as a democracy-we were not GIVEN the country! And why should we be? Why shouldn't somebody be born into Her Impossible position? The weight of a country on your shoulders every day the stress of constantly being within the publics focus. If all this isn't a job that is worth more than it's weight in gold I don't know what is. Besides all that there are millions of other roles that She fills that I don't even know about. Things like being able to dissolve parliment and dissmiss ministers. The powers that she has over govertment may not have been used-yet.but they are there and very real (reassuring yes?)  Her father when crowned was known for saying it was the worst thing ever to happen to his Very happy family why? Because it is hard work being the Head of State, and he knew what this meant for one of his daughters and so on forever down the line. Constant Hard Work. Better somebody be born ito this position than fighting and striving (you might say lusting ) after such a position of power- somebody with an agenda, their own ideas, not a neutral source to look to when these "somebodies" start getting unreasonable. The Queen should stay She more than works for all that is Hers and this land is indeed still hers, rightfully so!!!

Don't you love this, Republicans got us into this war, saddled us with all the debt etc and now you think they shouldn't be in power because they'll ruin thing.\n\nPlease give us all a break.

No, you are not wrong. Either he shows them how to budget, or stop loaning them money. It is not your responsibility to support them when they have money coming in. It would be different if they were really down on their luck, but they are not.

I don't think that the people were wise putting their money into the Farepack scheme, they would have been better off putting the money into a banks savings account and earn some interest at the same time. The Farepack boss should have his assets taken away from him to reimburse all those who lost money in this scheme. It is most insensitive for him to holiday at a £2000 a night hotel at a time when this controversy is going on.

They might accept charity but it's likely that it will come from the hard working poor people and middle class. It's all these Liberal Democrats who got us into this mess to began with. They are the ones that should have to pay!

Please don't live by putting all people into the same category.  Not all conservatives are filthy rich.  While it's true that are deficit has grown horribly, it's because we are in a war, and our spending for that had to be a priority.  It sounds like your angry at corporations, which are at the heart of our economy.  You go to the grocery store and buy brand name products, that's where they come from.  They hire tons of workers and pay great benefits.  Without corporations, our country would be dirt poor like a third world country where people have nothing.  Money comes to those that work hard and sweat.  Everyone starts out small and works their way up.  Conservatives don't believe in receiving something for nothing, their work ethic is very strong.  You tell us not to be mad, then call us bastards!  Maybe you should channel your anger into something that will be profitable to you.  Our country is far from perfect, but it's still the greatest.  If you ever get a chance to visit a place where people wear rags, eat out of garbage dumps, have no running water or electricity, disease is rampant, and eat government doled out slop, you would realize that even the poorest Americans are like royalty in these peoples' eyes.

:-)  Not sure what got into me but i'm hoping you will get it from the horses mouth since i forwarded your question to the Conservative Party.  (with a link to this question obviously)I reckon the new conservatives are more llikely to answer than the old ones ever were. \nAlso this is what you get when you put 'new conservatives' into their search egine: http://www.conservatives.com/search.results.page.do

Is GW looking out for anyone who isn't in the upper classes best interest? \n\nHe has done exactly what any Republican would do, make it easier on the rich and harder on the poor. Their theory is that the money will 'trickle down' to us, eventually helping the economy more than if it were controlled by the government. \n\nIt's great in theory, but unfortunately most of it will sit in offshore accounts, earning ungodly amounts of interest. Those at the top have a habit of keeping hold of their money, not trickling it downward our way.

Sounds  to me  that  there is  a smug tom fool out there laughing at the  plight  of  some of the  people of London..\nNot all people  who live in London voted for  RED KEN. some of us  have more sense.. Not all people  who  live in London drive 4x4 vehicles.. And not all  people who live in London  have the spare cash to  pay exorbitant congestion charge rates.\n\nwhats  worse is  that  London is already  known  has the  most expensive  city in the  world to live in. These new charges will only  add to that reputation of high taxes  and poor  service..\n\nIts likely that  by raising  congestion charge  taxes  it will force  companies  to  rethink whether they  need to be  in London at all, and in fact will  drive  some out of the city  and out of  the country all together. If this  happens  then  what ever is gained by the  extra money  raised will be  More than  off set by the loss of   jobs  and  London's reputation ha being the  financial capital of the  world..\n\nPerhaps when the  city of London lays  like a Waste  land of  empty  office  and  empty streets  RED KEN will see the  error of  his ways.. Hahah  most likely though  he will be long  gone to play happy  families with his mate Hugo Chavez  in  Venezuela

Surely you knew that when labour called themselves "New Labour" they actually meant that new labour isn`t interested in the people of the UK. Why should they care about that british pensioners can`t make ends meet, why should they care that NHS is hasn`t got enough money to function, why should they care that childrens education is getting poor ( despite what they say).Why should they care that british troops are dying because they`re poorly equipped fighting in anther country\nSo far they`ve given £10 billion to Africa,given our £10billion rebate back to the EU.given £10`s of millions of pounds to Pakistan. SO £100 million to Iraq shouldn`t surprise anyone.\nIf you followed the budget they had a deficet of £10 billion and went and borred it from the International Monetary Fund, and that was before before they gave all this money away.\nDon`t forget that it`s not the government that has to pay it back, it`s the taxpayers.Labour might not be popular at home anymore but the rest of world loves them

I think I would try to hang tough and make it difficult for them, but I think you will probably have to pay.  In fact you are probably not the only person that was over-paid.  \n\nHowever, in your negotiations/discussions with them, make sure that they re-pay YOU for the 10% penalty and tax that will end up on you tax return for the year because of the pre-mature withdrawal of the funds to pay them back.

It is very sad incident. How the entire administration collapsed is a very serious issue. The classifications like SC, ST and NT were all done by the British rulers to help their cause. It is most unfortunate that they continue here till today. \n\nAttrocities on anybody by anybody is condemnable. \n\nI disagree with the communists when they ALWAYS LAMENT and GENERALISE that the attrocities are ALWAYS done by upper caste rich hindus on lower caste poor hindus. That is a very clever false propaganda.\n\nThe feelings of seperatism and untouchability should be wiped out from the hearts of the people and not merely from govrnment rule books.\n\nThe rest of the society sould take the issue and see tht justice is done.\n\nIf it were a muslim family instead of the poor dalit family, the entire media and pseudo-secular politicians would have by now made a lot of noise.

Please pay attention.  The whole propaganda exercise has been to persuade the electorate to accept the idea of state funding for political parties.  By introducing a law in which donors must declare themselves to public view, many have backed off.  All three major political parties in UK have heavy debts in the millions.  These scheming politicians want us to pay off their debts and go on paying into their party funds from out taxes.  Not only will our council tax bills get even bigger so too will other taxes.  You can see already how politicians behave with our money - check out the spiralling out of control cost of the Olympics in London 2012 - now three times the original budget and rising.  The same increases will be applied to state funding of political parties.\n\nVOTE NO!

It debases the honours system for those who really earn them, and it's not just a title - it's a seat in parliament where they can vote on laws. This is a very important privilege and not one to be sold. As someone who respected the institution of the peerage I don't like seeing undeserving non-entities buy their way into it.\n\nParties do need funding, and under the law have to disclose the amount people give them. These men offered to make donations and the party instead asked for long-term loans at low interest rates to keep it secret. Why does Labour want to avoid public scrutiny when they were the ones who brought in the new law? \n\nIt is not a waste of police time. Cynicism about politics is a problem, affecting the health of democracy, and if those who have introduced this level of venality into politics are exposed and punished it will show people that the system works, testify to the independence of the police, and scare politicians away from doing something similar.
