General Election

theghostofcain:

At least an influx of people from outside into Heanor, Eastwood and may’be Mansfield too, would increase the gene pool.

LMAO!

At least they all understand each other. they are all related anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

The BNP…
Are a political party, and as such take part in the democratic process in this country,
To deny their existance on this site would be tantamount to denying the democratic process.

HOWEVER… discussions about ANY political party/doctrine will remain within the site rules… use of inappropriate language and /or personal attacks on another member for their political beliefs will result in the usual requests for the member to conform to the site rules…
You all have been warned

Well said Rikki, I am refering mostly to the first paragraph. Though I have no time for them they should not be excluded.

theghostofcain:
it’s to do with what colour you are, and that, to me is no basis to run a country

And of course you have evidence to back this statement up do you?

First off, a democratic party entitles EVERYBODY to vote and to be equal, any party that basis it’s politics on race and religion are therefore ignoring a section of society. The BNP may get into power and decide against non-repatriation and allow everyone equal rights, but it will increase racial tension and breed more hate.
History has shown us that racist governments (South Africa, Germany) have been on collision courses to disaster . At the end of the day we are a mongrel nation, most people are a not pure bred brits. Immigration is part of our culture. It cannot be right for us to populate America, Australia etc. and then turn our noses up at anyone who wants to live here. How many of you want this country purely white, but think it’s OK to emigrate to Spain?

I don’t need evidence to back up my statement because I am stating my opinion and NOT fact.

Race & European issues aside, again, IN MY OPINION, the BNP & UKIP are one agenda parties. They may be great at executing their specific missions but what about all the other facets of running a country?

BNP should be allowed on here because they are a recognised political party, same as Monster Raving Looney Party (■■).

Me saying that doesn’t mean i’ll vote for them but (as has already been mentioned) ‘freedom of speech’ etc. To deny them would be hypocrytical.

As for my vote, I have a bit of a dilema in-so-much-as I believe in the (public) policies of the UKIP but have got to admit to being a bit worried of about some of the things that have been alleged on this site (racism issues). I am still looking for some proof either way.

And just as a reminder for some of the people here who implied I was a racist on another thread, my wife is not English and my kids are only half English, so if I do vote for UKIP, it does not make me a racist.

The Immigration issue is a very divisive one and in so called modern Britain should have been resolved years ago had there ever been the political will or backbone to do it. We currently have second, third, fourth generation British Asians, Afro-Caribbean and many other races that are as British as I am, in this country and I for one am happy in a mixed race society.

I do however, believe that anyone who wishes to live I this country should integrate into this society, adopt its customs and values and be allowed to do so without losing their identity or culture. That needs give and take on both sides, particularly in allowing younger generations to choose and change, not impose upon them the values of the past, cultural or religious.

I also believe there should be free movement throughout the EU for all its citizens, both to reside in, and work in the country of their choice, however that must be balanced by any Government, of any persuasion against any detrimental effect on its domestic inhabitants, economically, socially and employment, the government of any single nation is elected first and foremost to protect the interests of it own people, that it must do above all other.

UKIP, BNP, Monster Raving Looney, Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, Martian, anyone, in a Democratic Society have both the right to exist and the right to be heard, you do not have to subscribe to their philosophy but it is only fair and reasonable to allow them to speak and on the basis of their argument make your own informed decisions. UKIP, BNP, etc however, campaigning as single issue parties do not have a proven record in Government, or even in Local Government, and so I would ask that they be pressed on their policy on the NHS, Education, Employment, Pensions, Law & Order, etc and when they have presented those policies and explained in detail how they will be funded and managed, only then would I feel comfortable in making any judgement.

Conservative — I believe do not have, or propose the social conscience that has kept Britain the envy of the world. Historically poor economic record and not trusted by ordinary working people to provide that social conscience or protect the values we all say we strive for.

Labour — We have low un-employment, relatively strong economy, low inflation and social justice of a sort, BUT! We also have a Government that has stopped listening, Labour positions on many subjects I do not agree with, Iraq, EU, etc but I also believe Britain could not survive now outside the EU, we have lost the economic ties we once had with many countries, we were not loyal to them when it suited us and now we must reap the benefit. In an open global economy, we could not compete and maintain the standard of living we now enjoy outside Europe, we cannot look over the Atlantic, they would drop us tomorrow if it suited.

Lib Dem — As someone stated earlier a reactionary group without the clear leadership of Mr Ashdown.

So who do I vote for? None of the above, so far, because none of them have my interest at heart.

Sorry rant over, I tend to talk a lot but not say much. Thanks for reading. CM

As a person who at present is not resident at GB my opinion may set
the cat among the pigeons .PEOPLE all over this planet did not turn round
and show that when NO is mentioned it means NO, yes we are all
entiteled to our opinions but not to preach that one particular type of
creation is superior than the other,These thoughts are to me so obnoxious that it makes me wonder what those who are no longer
with us would reply,and no they would be not be amused, yes we are
in the present time haveing points of conflict but these can be acted
on and corrected without useing methods that some of us wish to use.
One person has all ready stated we are a multi -racial country now
and I am happy with that, and yes we are a democratic land and that
means every one may state what they think and it is alright, but it is
not correct to preach hatred or racism,

I’ve put other because its my Birthday & I aint going to spoil its by voteing for a load of idiots that tell you one thing just to get your votes & do the other when they have got your X. I might vote if they change the date :wink:

Happy Birthday Arfa Job.

Happy Birthday Arfa Job :smiley:
