I think Labour need to reform but they will not. Too many nasty sneering careerists whose jobs would be at risk (both now and in the future when they work for the eu)
Milliband made a mistake hanging on to Ed Balls and Yvette what's her name Time for a reshuffle getting rid of the discredited old guard, but hope they don't Moisok as don't want them back in power any time soon. |

A two bob punter with a ten bob mouth. pandora1963 22 May 14 22:13 had 40 pence in my account at 4pm before reloading I thought I would stick a few pennies on greyhounds on the arrce,got the f/c 5-6 for 10 p won 14 quid. A few more lays then I had £2 o the outsider of one of the maidens at Salisbury,bank now £58 quid. Couple of £10 lays on short priced horses in the states and a few little lays on evening outsiders and my bank is back to £100. It can be done. Burt, roger and others, it looks like we aren't getting on at the advertised prices in the OP. |

what is the case - watching the tv is that the main parties still do not get it - they are still clinging to what they are and what their approach is - they still don't want to discuss immigration and its effect on the services/utilities/job market etc.
Also failing to accept that we cannot do anything about most of immigration and many laws etc because it is the eu that is in charge. |

Don't think that going back to grass roots and socialism will help them though Moisok. We saw that with Michael Foot who was a great intellect but couldn't sell his ideas to the public.

just listen to them live - they haven't and won't change - as a socialist I cringe at the labour politicoes - they look and sound the same as tories
remember animal farm when they looked in the window and saw the pigs standing up like the humans!!?? we know what the posh boys are but thats what labour sound and look like too - not a dirty working hand in site - only nice dresses and suits nothing in commmon with a vast number of the population!!! mainly nice middle class educated precise speaking suits - not a regional accent amongst them etcetc etc !!! |

Thanks Howdi.
I share your dislike of the Posh boys too Moisok and have never voted Tory. At heart I'm a Liberal but they have no chance on their own. |

interesting discussion, with some good points made
I think yesterdays vote was all about a protest against our immigration levels. The 2 main parties have been far too complacent. 2 1/2 million unemployed, we really don't need more people here. The problem is, the rest of UKip's policies are extreme right wing. They are to the right of the Tories, they need to be to the left imo. How on earth can they attract any socialist voters, except those who feel very strongly over immigration?????? Like moisok I shall return to base and vote Labour, with misgivings. Everyone usually goes back to the big 2 at at general elections. just my own opinion ps Clegg has single handedly destroyed the libdems imo |

We were very silly to reject proportional representation
 we would have had a lot more democracy |
|
By:
The trouble is, we have always had a two party system
I think it started as the Tories and the Wigs(now liberals) the only change has been we switched to Tories and Labour, after about 200 years(they pushed out Liberals) so one change in 300 odd years...it is nigh on impossible for anyone to break this At the general election people will vote Tory to keep Labour out...or Labour to keep the Tories out and we just vote for a party not on issues |
|
By:
The problem with UKIP is that they only have one string to their bow, immigration
it is a good one, but can anyone build a party on just one issue?????? I will have a look to see what else they offer between now and the general election but they must offer something I hope they win some seats, otherwise they may just fade away we shall see |

Ukip's support runs much deeper than immigration, though this is their trump card.
The anti-politics sentiment has been building for years and is reaching a crescendo with ukip being the main beneficiaries. It would be wrong to characterise it as protest vote as this would imply its a temporary mid term kicking of the main parties but I think ukips support will hold to the election. Whether it brings them many seats is another matter but I'd now be surprised if they didn't manage a couple. I agree with ebulgery about the effective disintegration of the 2, maybe 3, party system. The Lib Dems are finished - forget the polls, just look at their vote share at local, euro and by-elections. The bright glare of a general election campaign will melt Miliband and the Tories - or rather Cameron - might scrape the most MPs in a hung Parliament. Who then forms a coalition is anyone's guess as it will be finely balanced depending on the precise number of seats but I can't imagine the Lib Dems having much more appetite for coalition. Indeed there's every chance the 3rd biggest party will be the SNP. For these reasons, I think the best bet is a conservative minority government. Not very appealing. |

Pandora is symptomatic of the thinking of many on the left in British politics. Totally divorced from reality but determined to foist their warped views onto the rest of us and to silence dissent.

I said a dozen after UKIP won the European elections,it could easily be more than that if the Lib Dems disappear. They won't be missed (former member to my shame).

I think that my good friend and ally alun2005 may be forced to launch into a lengthy diatribe about 'bet dodgers' on here, should UKIP get one seat, and Pandora fails to pay up. |

He was his usual full of sh*t self on the politics forum this morning
'the day I run from a low life like you is the day i die' I posted that this thread had been resurrected, and 'if UKIP get one seat, your demise may come sooner than you wish.' He hasn't posted since. |

Well done all who took the big prices. |

By:
There can be no backing out of paying these bets out.
We've already had the shame of TWO lefties failing to pay out on substantial bets on the Politics and Chit Chat forums in the last few years, and there can be no hiding place for a third. The two who haven't paid up still have active accounts but haven't posted since they were discovered to be crushingly wrong about their presumptuous bets. |

He lied on a thread the other day and told Burton-Brewers he was betting on council elections, in May, last year.
If I'm not mistaken, the thread title says 'next year'. That would be this year wouldn't it, therefore 2015. The luvvies love to lie. |
