If you vote Tory I'm going to murder you.

[redunderthebed]

The best of it is I can't even vote for either Labour or the Tories (I don't count UCUNT as Tories).

I'm left with Creationists and murderers.

Lovely however there is alternatives. :-)

...I'm perfectly aware of what you are saying about the Tories but all you have to back it up with is the (admittedly heinous) example of Thatcherism...

Which is all that's needed to back it up when the current party leadership are Thatcherites!

Cameron belongs to a group within the Tory party called 'Conservative Way Forward', which is a Thatcherite group which is headed by the old bitch herself!!!

I just did a google and yes HBM is right infact the website says on the front banner "keep the spirit of 1979 alive" with a picture of the old bitch for good measure and David Cameron also there.

Don't be fooled its turd dressed up as lamb.

If I could vote, I'd vote Tory. This seems complete counter my views but I believe there needs to be a divide between rich and poor, and that divide needs to be strengthened. I am sure that this can be achieved by having the Conservatives in power, their money orientated party will inspire a new age of radicalism in the lower classes. Political apathy will die. This is what I predict anyway, it seems wishful thinking but I sincerely enjoy roughing the feathers of society.

You never know, their rule might be short as it might be the death of them. It's happened to Labour, although their time in office can hardly be called short.

It took serfdom to inspire the last great uprising in this country, so unless the Tories really are going to go all out and take us back to medieval England, we're not going to see any major revolutionary radicals popping up in great numbers or guillotines outside the palaces.

Read your history. We're the least revolutionary country in Europe, partly because the last time a majority of people had balls it was 1381 and partly because the political establishment are excellent (and have been for centuries) at providing enough reform to placate the average person but never provide enough reform to genuinely change anything. Whigs and Tories, Labour and Conservative, and a castrated populace grumbling about the weather and how it's the PM's fault. The record never changes.

So you wouldn't count that little tiff with Oliver Cromwell as an uprising?

Didn't achieve much though did it?

Am I really the only one here who finds the theme of this thread grossly inappropriate? I take our democratic freedoms very seriously, and this is very disturbing. If ANYTHING should be reportable, then this should. I cannot believe you are all cheerleading for such an unacceptable theme by letting this thread go on. And no, you can't write this off as just 'tongue in cheek'. This is far worse than any sort of jokes, even. If no action is taken on this then I will start a thread about it in in-depth discussion.

I gather you're referring to the thread title, MONF? I don't see anyone cheerleading either that or the thread itself. I think the OP, with the inclusion of the smiley belies the "seriously", and is pretty adequate indication that the title is intentionally hyperbolic, and HBM is deliberately exaggerating his point, not as a real threat but to convey his depth of feeling about this political issue.

However, if anyone here actually dies as a result of voting Tory, we'll all know where to look. Seriously.

That was pretty much the strategy of the KDP (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands) during the Weimar Republic. By encouraging their followers to vote for the conservative party rather than the SDP (Sozialdemokratische Partei) they hoped to catalyse a backlash where they'd eventually win themselves. It didn't work out as hoped. Their strategy enabled the NSDAP (aka NAZI party) to sneak their way into the chancellorship.

Knock yourself out. I'm sure you'll end-up having about as much impact as you did with this thread.

So, just curious, how many dead so far? :cuppa:

None.








Voting's not 'till about next spring (or whatever date they choose to spring on us).

Fuck that. I'm not putting up with you loonies for four more months of political bickering. '08 was bad enough here.

[Trolldor]

It's hilarious. You guys actually have political parties.

Here we've got the extreme conservatives or the strong conservatives.

I resign from this thread.

It upsets me because I am right and y'all can't see it.
