Somebody say something wrong
I mean besides DA and Liszt. The board needs controversy.

Re: Somebody say something wrong
Perhaps we could discuss setting up a board for moderators only again? I personally really liked the idea.

Ed Milliband was a better choice for the Labour leadership than his brother.

Stop adding extra letters to words for no good reason. The worst I've seen so far is Marlborough, why do you add three silent letters to the end of a perfectly good word?Labour

It's already there, but I've been demoted so I'm not supposed to know about it. But I have inside information.OurGloriousLeader wrote:Perhaps we could discuss setting up a board for moderators only again? I personally really liked the idea.

Re: Somebody say something wrong
There is in fact a subforum that only I can see. It has 2 threads; which I used to test out some stuff when I was first setting up the board.

All the people who don't want to see Labour win the election firmly agree with that one actually.Blade Azaezel wrote:Ed Milliband was a better choice for the Labour leadership than his brother.
Ed has managed to convince my wife - who has faithfully voted Labour and decried the Tories her entire voting life - that David Cameron would make a better Prime Minister and as such the Conservative candidate here will be getting her vote. This is something that neither she nor I ever thought we'd see.
To put it bluntly - he's a fucking liability.

You should revise your definition of controversial!
Re: Somebody say something wrong
I'm almost glad I'm in a safe seat, it means that I don't actually have to make a difficult decision over who to vote for, my vote is useless as it will never be for Labour and I live in a very safe labour seat.

Re: Somebody say something wrong
I just don't understand that. If you've voted for a party all your life, surely it's because you agree with their policies and not whether or not their leader would make a better PMOpiateOfTheMasses wrote:All the people who don't want to see Labour win the election firmly agree with that one actually.Blade Azaezel wrote:Ed Milliband was a better choice for the Labour leadership than his brother.

Re: Somebody say something wrong
Especially when one of them has already proven himself to be a terrible Prime Minister.
Re: Somebody say something wrong
I dunno, if I strongly believed in a party, but I felt the leader was a terrible statesman and would be weak and unable to lead effectively, I'd consider voting for someone else.Blade Azaezel wrote:I just don't understand that.

Because I think they ruined the country, and I fundamentally have an issue with a party that allows trade unions so much relative power. It's heading the way that I don't know if I can vote for any of the major parties anymore but I just hate the Labour party.Ptolemy_Banana wrote:Why will you never vote for Labour?Whitey wrote:I'm almost glad I'm in a safe seat, it means that I don't actually have to make a difficult decision over who to vote for, my vote is useless as it will never be for Labour and I live in a very safe labour seat.

Re: Somebody say something wrong
I wouldn't give the opposition with an effective leader, 5 years to screw up even more, rather than the people I agree with, with a potentially weak leader, 5 years to try and improve things.

I can see your point and I can see the point 'er indoors is making too.
My problem with it is the First Past The Post system which effectively means that if I don't vote Labour or Conservative (neither of which are parties that I want to vote for) then I may as well tear up my vote because they're the only two parties that have any chance of winning here.
So - do you choose the lesser of two evils? Or do you stand by your principles and "waste your vote"?
And as for voting for Labour because you agree with their policies even though you don't like/trust/respect their leader... yeah... kind of. If you were expecting them to get a majority I could almost live with that, but knowing they will need to run a government in compromise with either the Lib Dems or the SNP then the personal traits of the leader suddenly do become more relevant than they would perhaps normally be, and I don't blame her for thinking that Ed just isn't up to the job.
(Incidentally - I shall be "wasting my vote" and voting for the party I would actually like to see win, even though I know they won't)
