We don't have innovative policies in opposition, as a matter of policy.

For as long as I can remember (which isn't, admittedly, that long) our opposition appears to have been duty-bound to say "Nay, nay" a lot and oppose everything. But helpfulness appears to be outside of their remit.

Our political system sucks almost as much as our weather.

The lib dems have some good policies, if they do become opposition it'll be a breath of fresh air. I'm about to move over to London on a permanant basis so I'm taking more of an interest in British politics.

I think i'm simply more cynical than you on the nature of democracy.

Why are you moving to London? I only live an hour away. We should meet for cocktails, darling.

The trouble with PR Catwoman is that it would allow the 6 - 7 % fascist vote to gain a foothold in the parliamentary system. You only have to look at France and then consider our own BNP to see that PR would be ultimately potentially dangerous. .....It would also allow the far left a voice and likewise the greens, but I would willingly do without that benefit in order to prevent the BNP / NF getting a voice in national government. Bad enough that they keep getting council seats.

And not only why are you moving to London, but how on earth did you manage to slip past our border protection undetected? You're european - you could have rabies or anything! :)

Doesn't everyone? :)

It's worse than that Ev - dude is stralian!

London College Of Communication (was the college of Printing when I started filling out forms, which I much preferred), so I can become a certified opinionated tosser rather than just a freelancing amatur.

Evan, I'm Swiss and British, with Aussie to boot so it's rabid and bad teeth, mate.

Catwoman: diabolus fecit, ut id facerem! I'm up for cocktails, hell we've almost got enough people here for a decent sized get-together.

Hey, no name calling! I never use that kind of language about you!

interfice te cum cochleare

Swiss, Australian and British. Wow. What a combination.

Toblerone on the barbie and a warm beer, anyone?

Jag - stultus est licut stultus facit! :)

Evan - er, no. They don't.

Dana - I suppose it's better to mute any marginalist vote, far left or far right. How else do you please the majority?

Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris

Well, I guess technically there's the Scots. And the Welsh. And the various Cornish peoples. And anyone that lives around Heathrow and is unfortunate enough to commute to work in the City in a car.

But there's certainly a LOT of people who do, especially depending on how you draw the line at what constitutes "London", and the rest really just aren't trying hard enough.

And please, call me Kev. If I'd given it a moment's thought when I signed up, I wouldn't have used an old university login based on surname + first initial + number and would've instead picked something that didn't result in me gaining a welsh-sounding nickname.

:)

Anyone that lives around heathrow is unfortunate full stop.

sorry Kev. :)

jag, estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?
