    You mean. They don't operate here but even if they did I wouldn't vote for those ignorant racist thugs don't you.

      There is no need for them here. It is a nice place and free of crime.

        Talk about digression...

        To be fair to Bods, he doesn't drive or anything, so as individuals go in this country he is pretty good for the environment (barring his flatulance ). But the problem I find with elections is that the major parties stand for exactly the same thing, there isn't a *** papers width between them...

          So the you'd be as happy to see IDS as PM as TB?

          I can think of nothing worse, 'cept maybe Portillo as PM.

            As I say, I doubt there would be much difference, just a different face...

              Do you really believe that?

                What is there to believe? You could hardly describe Tony Blair as a left-winger could now could you?

                  Does charisma, personality and style mean little to you?

                  If George Bush were eloquent, witty and disarming in his talk (i.e the non-scripted stuff) then the US would have a better world image despite the actions he takes.

                  Adolf Hitler got to power and got things done, not because of his political ideology but because of his personality. If he was a boring old sap no-one would have voted for him.

                  Politics is not always about policy. Its also about how you convince people that those policies are right and how you get them implemented. Both foreign and domestic.

                    Correct. Results and performance matter to me. It is an important job with very important ramifications...A big grin and a mouth full of bullsh*t isn't going to cut any ice with me. And Bush's policies speak for themselves, no matter who the man is...

                    I do not care about gloss, personally. More fool those who do...

                      My point is that its a tool to get things done.

                      Assuming the policies are the same, who is more likely to get things done - say in European Union polices. A PM who is a boring sod who can't persuade anyone his policies are right and is generally ignored, or a suave, well-spoken, convincing, friendly, disarming, popular, personality?

                      I know who I would rather bat for us. Even if their core messages are the same.

                        1 person can still make a difference... look at the guy who invented agriculture... or the guy who invented antibiotics... hmmm... without those things there wouldn't be 6 billion people living today.

                          Or washing his hands - it does not really clean his hands.

                            Simple. Stand for elections yourself!
                            Any election! MP, EMP, County/District Council !

                            In the next elections, I will stand as an MP for the Legalise Cannabis Party! I just need somewhere to stand (somewhere I may have a chance of getting more than 10 votes) any ideas?

                            Oh, and my area was rather flooded too, exept my house, which happens to be on a large hill. And I'd allways hated walking up it all those years!

                            I think there is 7 billion people on this planet. And agricuture devoloped over centuries. It wasnt 'invented' by anybody.
                            How can you defeat an enemy which will never accept defeat?

                              As a former (british) colleague of mine used to say, when asked where he was spending his holidays:
                              "That f***ing island is sinking, why should I go back there?"
                              The monkeys are listening.

                                silpy, if you stand for the legalise cannabis party, you're going to lose your deposit wherever you run, so it doesn't make any odds really
