Sidney, I’m afraid I agree with Wiretwister, although I’d prefer to use the term “influence” and not “Hijack” an existing political party, as starting one from scratch is no mean feat that’s for sure.
For a start, I doubt very many people on here know the first thing about forming a political party, this kind of thing needs setting up by lawyers and requires a lot of cash and takes literally years to build up a profile.
Secondly, there are scores of political parties who all think that if they put there heads together and get their friends/families to vote for them then they’ll be in power come the next general election, it never happens, people will always revert to type and follow their traditional allegiances for fear of letting the other side win by default by voting for the new “fringe” party.
The fact of the matter is that in this country we live in a two-party state, it’s been like that for over a century and will remain like that until possibly a (bloodless) revolution.
Just take a look at all these fringe parties who have come and gone over the past fifteen years:
Green Party
Monster Raving Loony Party
Referendum Party
National Front
Natural Law Party
Legalise Cannabis Alliance (the LCA’s usual three-digit general election result shows how much support there is for this agenda)
Socialist Worker Party
There are many more, but even I’m bored of it now.
So bigsidney, not so much as a poor response, more like staring at the top of a mountain, the only thing is to work with the ZB’s we’ve got.
