New PM new government

[Gerry]

Would you vote for one of the major parties knowing that they're useless? I wouldn't.  The minor parties will never become a major party if no one votes for them.  One lone voice (if it's loud enough) can make a big difference.  When too many people vote for a major party, they come complacent and think they don't have to try get elected

[PaigntonPearl]

One lone voice can never be loud enough unless enough people are motivated to follow them.  And certainly in US politics, that does not look likely!

[Gerry]

Well I'd never vote for a party that I wasn't comfortable with and I'd rather vote informal

[dreamer]

that is exactly what i did, I voted for a minor party,some say it may have been a wasted vote but I really in all fairness just couldnot bring myself to vote for any of the other underhand wasters, i am not a hypocrite and I would have felt like one had I voted for any one of the 3 top parties,

As you say gerry unless someone votes for these minor parties they will never get a hold anywhere. And I think that quite a few people in the uk did just that this time.

[Gerry]

If more people did that Dreamer, eventually you'd get a Government who'd try that little bit more knowing that your vote has to be earned

[99]

Adrian Saunders is the mp for Torbay he is lib-dem, although if you live in my bit of Paignton you get the south hams mp

[PaigntonPearl]

I know, isn't that ridiculous.  When my parents lived in Galmpton, they were in the South Hams.  But it's hard to imagine where 99 lives not being part of Torbay!  I guess that's still Anthony Steen who, I believe is conservative.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

[Gerry]

I think I'm gonna throw up.

You have a tendency to do that, don't you?

You have a tendency to do that, don't you? 

Yes.  Particularly when it involves politicians!

[dreamer]

im with you on that one pp, I notice already one of the new ministers is allegedly resigning, as it has been found out he gave tens of thousands to his partner for a second home, Here we go again, once again the uk is governed by a load of wasters. Guy Fawkes had the right idea years ago!!!!!
