Do you think you have a better idea?

excuse the grammatical error - that should read "I am not incidentally a German national" - the second "not" is, of course, incorrect.

Thank you for your response,yes Jesse Ventura is a man with the right ideas, if he can get in the race I'll vote for him.

why are just about all european countries actually more sensible than the uk? do you think we are a mini usa or a mini poor eastern european one with a bit more cash and in the wrong place astonysh? can't decide meself

Hi Judith,

I haven't a clue.

Actually smaller parties have mainly sprung up, but the successful ones unfortunately tend to represent the xenophobic, former Empire Loyalist, wing of the Tory Party more than anything else (UKIP, who are not racist, BNP, who definitely are).

Respect tried to take off with what Labour abandoned, got George Galloway and little else. The Green Party should have made more impact, but they are mainly an alternative to the Lib Dems.

The UK tends much more to lean to the US than to anyone in Europe East or West (you may have gathered by now that I am very pro-Europe, definitely a voice in the wilderness, and probably why I am looking at taking out German nationality), though given the results of the Bush-Blair adventure, the special relationship is on hold for the moment.

And as Cameron's natural allies in the US are all Republicans, it is at least a couple of years before it will be back in vogue (this is assuming that the Tories, as expected win next year - if the UK ends up with a coalition, who knows? Nick Griffin as Foreign Secretary refusing to shake Obama's hand as the guy's the wrong colour?!).

well it has worked a bit better up here with weeny parties. the scottish national party (basically lib dems and nothing like the sodding bnp) and the green party and indeed mr incredibly fake tan (i.e. the sort of socialist lot) have been fairly successful.

If Cameron and the Tories win the next UK election, Scotland would be recommended to hold an independence referendum (and hopefully have the sense to vote for it).

It would leave England with a permanent Tory majority forever (probably with the UKIP and BNP as the major opposition parties). I am probably too old and unhealthy for this to affect me (and anyway the Germans might let me stay here, job or no job).

I actually like Nader. Kinda a common sense politican in a political world that has forgotten what common sense is. Shame he never went farther than he did.

I voted...not for McCain or Obama....But I voted for Ron Paul. I did not voted for "who I thought was going to win" like a lot of people and for who I thought would do the best job.

don't you find though that if there is one lot you really don't want to get in the inclination is to vote for the most likely opponent rather than somebody who you agree with? did this myself. [ and to excuse this i had only just turned 18.] so did a lot of people and guess what we got. minithatcher.

Yes I think alot of people do it.
It is called the "against vote". YOu are not so much voting in favor of the person you are voting for....but against hte person he or she is running against.
Personally I believe in voting for who you think will do the best job.
Have not seen alot of poeple (some but not a lot) that fit that discription coming out of the two major parties in a while.

i agree now. having had a very small part in getting the sodding blair in [oh yes, vote out the tories and then you get the tories basically back in again under a pseudonym] i'm all for giving the smaller parties more representation

What I am saying is considered for all Nations to adhere to. I am saying that all the president's that are in office should not be by popular vote. You see Our government id being controlled by billionaires and millionaires around the world, and every country is in the same boat, and it's sinking. The people vote one way and the elite turn things around to their favor, these decisions are slanted as is the media in their pocket. I am talking about the New World order and what it will mean to every human on this planet. This has got to be stopped now or we all will be enslaved by the NWO aka; One World Order, this is as bad as it gets people, one example of this is why Obama got away with not proving he is an American born citizen, which only shows anyone that is in the click of this Government get in and the one we voted for is not. This whole New World Order thing was started in Europe ans the Euro, but this whole plan is from all the blue blood line that leads to Bush's that were in office. And Obama is just a plant to take the attention of the real takeover plan, the New World Order, aka; ONE WORLD ORDER. Once this is established there will be no equality for anyone, we will all be their slaves under one authority. So the real issue here is US against Them. The People of the world and the New World Order, in which will have full control of the food and therefore the control of all the people. This will be done by the United Nations,Rome,United States,Britten,world Bank,and the Federal Reserve. They will destroy the US currency to have no worth whatsoever, so they can start all over the world with their One World Currency that only they will control, and the whole world will be flat broke, and will have to play the game to have anything to eat. Look at Africa and Angola, and other places where thousands die of starvation, because their government is controlling the currency. This is the plan of all the biggest country's in the world to take control of the smaller country's and peoples, to be their slaves just to have the option to eat, enough for one day at a time.
