  • i was naked while I watched this video! V

  • Answers to the selected questions are starting to appear now. Go to the Lib Dem profile page to see them (click on "Lib Dem" in the top right).

  • No mention of David Abrahams? You guys are a bit behind the times! Check out my video instead. Search for

    money money money abrahams

  • Many thanks for all the video responses. The deadline for submitting questions has now passed. Answers from Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne to the five selected questions will be posted up during the week of 3rd December.

  • I really loved Plaid Cymrus'(you tube) party political broadcast for cardiff west! I think that it pretty much sums your party up! More power to (mcevoy70) and his elbow. His brodcast is more of a mustings rather than a hustings. My Q: is- Why have you let me down so badly after 22 years of promoting you as "the party of opposition"!!?? Do the words "liberal" and "socialism" still exist in your venacular!!

  • Anything but Cameron

  • Are you serious?

    Surely LibLabCon are all the same b/c they're not openly racist miscreants?

    Destruction of our past?!? As if our culture hasn't been heavily influenced by a plethora of other cultures throughout history..

    lol you stupid pleb

  • Must be lovely up in those clouds of yours, be careful you do fall.

    As for the racist slur ... ow that really hurt, pussies like you can't use that because its not seen as an insult any more.

  • nah mate I'm well for your stilted propaganda - and don't call me a pussy: I've stabbed up twenty minority children this week alone.

    On that note you don't sound like a genuine pure blood Brit, me and my national front boyz are coming to get ya...

  • Sad very sad, one day you'll wake up! when its too late.

    Here's a challenge for you, go to the centre of Oldham and walk through the Muslim "community" and soak up all the love and just for laughs grab the nearest raghead and give a good old Liberal hug. R.I.P.

  • 'grab the nearest raghead'

    just a taste of your racist type, get your priorities straight, start realising that your party is a waste of time and will NEVER get into power. its 'sad very sad' that you follow that idiotic ideology in the first place.

  • I have lost all hope in politics and word games

  • we got falmer

    no thanks to your lot

    never vote for your lot again

    brighton and hove albion

  • Labour disable comments while the Lib' Dem's promote free speech by allowing the public to voice their opinions and concerns?.. Interesting. That's gotta' be worth 5 stars alone. Keep it up dudes & dudess's. :)

  • i am a ukip man myself

    although i strongly agree here.

  • What is your view on immigration and illegal immigrants in the country at present?If you follow labour's approach then you will serve 1 term maximum for the rest of the party's existence

  • Yes Hairychestnut, that is a good question, will not hold my breath for an answer too quick either.

    Now who was it, who said, bans were illiberal, definetly a Lib Dem hmmm

    not just illiberal, I cannot believe the hatred, I read every day on these boards. Please do not tell me hatred and intolerance is good for our children.

  • A Political Party Leader is for life, not just for christmas.

  • InterestingIssue Tiger!, for longTime d pharmaceutical & health studies onSmoking has been mostly funded & sponsored by d tobacoIndustry, they also influenced d stablishment lobying to their own ends disregarding d actualFacts. When d last gov't tried to remove tobacoAdverts from all sportingEvents they fiercely jumped against, based on biased grounds. The gov't took +- 100 years to realise & accept the lethal danger of smoking. Shall we wait manyYears to see d facts on passive smocking?.

  • Are you suggesting that we should condemn passive smoking without evidence just in case we find out later its dangerous? This rediculous notion could be used to excuse all manner of social abuse. Perhaps we should ban the wearing of denim just in case one day we discover it causes rickits. Whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty?

  • 1 - You're response is extremely jumbled; yet, you accuse HC of being illiterate? More proof that smoking enhances cranial function.

    2 - You falsely ASSUME that smoking is deadly, which has not been proved in science or court. In fact, numerous, documented "smoker's paradoxes" have been studied--and not by "tobacco shills". The tip-off is the utterly fraudulent SHS/ETS studies. Pure antismoking bias.

    3 - Even if [passive] smoking will someday be shown to be harmful, I echo HC's sentiment.

  • I see LibDem has still failed to answer my question about the HSE report. Is this because they agree with the labour tactic of violating the freedom of information act and destroying documentation that reveals their decieptfull legislation?

  • Hey HairyNut, the time limit is clearly stated. You have much to gain learning to read (english). The Libs are right, u do not need to give a sermon to let us know that you are a compulsive heavy smoker, simple as that. GOOD LUCK!

  • 1 - A few minutes doesn't constitute a sermon.

    2 - His "sermon" (+ videos on the HSE OC255/15 substitute and on the gov't postnotes) show that he's better able to read and do the math than the gov't health officials. According to you, this is because he is a "compulsive heavy smoker"...he takes only a few minutes to show discrepancies in analyses because he smokes.

    3 - Nonsmokers can also see the gross problems with Pharma-funded studies of tobacco smoke and, interestingly, they can vote, too.

  • I see from your channel profile RodoXtrano that you claim an interest in science and facts. That being so, perhaps you should be asking the libdems the same questions as I have. Rather than wasting time with petty anti smoker retoric.

  • The length is nessesary to include the relevant facts. The question at the end is simple, when are you going to oppose the smoking ban that was brought in on the basis of lies and deceipt? And of course win yourself an ellection based on freedom of choice for all.

  • I see the Libdems removed my video response. I can only assume they don't like anyone asking them something sensible, like when are they actually gonna get off their lazy arse and start opposing the government like opposition parties should. Check out the vid they removed "Opposition,what opposition?".

  • Your film didn't meet the criteria as it was both very long and didn't include a clear question to the candidates.

  • Perhaps you'd like to take this opportunity to explain why the libdems failed to question the government on the destruction of the Health and Safety report that revealed that there is no evidence to support the alledged risk from second hand smoke.

  • Its britain's oil, not yours. Who do you think owns the oil companies anyway?

  • Oh gentel God!. It's getting from bad to worse. Politics in the UK is hopeless. It might be worthless questioning to these people, just imagine how the rest will sound.I did not even bother to watch this clip to the end.

  • Hello, I heart persia 07 here Chief executive of Givemeabreak Ltd.

    Lib dems are yellow bellied. They are slightly different to the bi-partisan parties who are stealing their lines, making them the only party for real change in the country.

    But lib dems do not pick up on the points most britons care about. Because it's just not done anymore. You are tickers and crossers like the rest of em.

  • lib dems wil nevr defeat mi sudowoodo

  • hmmmm...I wouldn't be suprised if a 'have i got news for you researcher' was on here.

  • I will Vote Lib Dem.

    Tony Blair And David Cameron are two cheeks of the same arse.

  • Tony Blair is not PM any more...

  • no, tony is now simultaneously chief middle east peace coordinator and also nuclear bomb waxer (wax on wax off, you know what i mean)

  • Get lost you GG wanabee!!

  • Err...what? Do you have a clue what you're talking about? So using the internet automatically makes an organisation a "glorifirf 6th form debating committee"?

    Whatever.

    Clearly you're just looking for something, anything, to dismiss the LibDems on. Clearly you can't do it on policy, so you have to resort to this. Shame.

  • Maybe he's reached a cruising altitude of apathy? the lib dems will not be winning any elections until the way elections are held and votes counted becomes proportional and fair.

    that won't happen of course, because then the lib dems would win. henceforth - this is a very futile video, party and discussion. n'es pas?

  • If you knew anything about politics, or anything at all, you'd know that was a quote, what kind of a name is TCPHumanist? my comment relates to youtube becoming an acceptable medium for boring politicians, who think they're doing something radical, they are not..

  • Its costs £1024 Per week to house a LOW CATEGORY prisoner (joy riders, Shop lifters and so on)

    It would cost £650 per week put a prisoner in A FORM of National service.

    Which would be the most effective in terms of giving them a skill and discipline and more cost effective. I know what I would introduce if I was in charge.

    I agree that people who break the law should be brought to account BUT prison must serve a purpose.

  • They tried that with boot camp. The result was fitter more disciplined criminals. Good in theory bad in practise.

  • UK politics is so dead, these years, so conformist and without vision. It is more of a middle management than politics. There are no leaders in British politics; everyone is stuck in mundane matters and party bigotry. So much the UK politics is dull and dug in materialism and mediocrity that one can call it evil, for it kills human spirit and freedom.

    Evidence? Just watch how mechanically and without enthusiasm this video was made...

  • I totally and wholeheartedly agree with you.

  • true, true

  • Ha, my video response has the most views out of all the responses, so surely mine should be the first one they answer.

  • I'm not too far behind you in second place :P

  • Yep. I have a sneaking suspicion yours will get answered and mine won't, though.

  • lol, well, I'm not sure if your question is the main issue on their minds.

    Tho sometimes they do love the occasional "light-hearted" question to lighten the mood.

  • Yeah lol I'm not expecting it to trigger a huge debate, if it even gets a passing mention though I'll be happy with that.

    The high view count should make it a little harder to completely ignore though...

  • How did you manage to get such a high view count anyway? Well done on doing it!

  • I have my methods :P

  • Your party is soft on crime, in favour of the Euro and handing powers to Brussels, and keen on a amnesty for the huge number of ILLEGAL immigrants, which I reckon about 5-10% of the UK voters would support. what plans do you have in place for your current MPs when they all get voted out of office at the next general election?

  • this shouldnt be featured, while i agree they have every right to post a video, i do not agree that a large internet site such as youtube should promote one political party and leave out the others as often large coperate businesses arent allowed to express their political views (much as civil servants arent allowed to do so publicly)

    therefore this cross publicity (video) should not be endorsed by youtube.

  • I will vote lib dem.

    Gordon Brown and David Cameron are two cheeks of the same arse!!!

  • I'll use my first legal vote for Lib Dems If you put Charles Kennedy back in charge!

  • Lib Dem's cant fix anytthing, they only make problems worse. Normally, their only course of action is generally to raise taxes for their socialist...errr social programs

  • immigrants are the reason your alive.

  • Bring Back Charles K.

    So he had a bit of a problem with drink, So what he is human.

    I would rather have someone in charge who as a problem with drink rather then someone who has a problem telling the truth.

  • get rid of immagrants then ill vote for you till then get lost

  • nice spelling!!! by the way ....... are u a native american indian??? what's that u say?? no??!!!?? guess what!! u can GO BACK to where your ancestors came from. :)

  • true that

  • Immigrants are a huge problem in there country. Despite the fact they supposedly bring in extra money to the government. That is out weighed by the cost to house them, and the rising house prices themselves. They cost us more tax. Thus it's brining not only instability to the country, it is causing serious social problems, the government thought very little immigrants would come to Britain, but there was a flood of them. Until long as the Lib Dems fix this, I'll go BNP.

  • Immigration is a good thing. It is MASS immigration which has the negative effects you have described, caused by our membership with the EU. You don't have to vote BNP to control immigration! There are other parties which want out of the EU for many other reasons as well as to control immigration, without being OTT.

  • True. Major cultural changes over such a short period of time has caused social explosion. Multi-cultrure should have been introduced gradually. So in certain ways I agree with you. I believe BNP to be the quickest solution. But not neccaserily the easiest or nicest.

  • Untrue, whilst Norway has about the same amount of industry as Scotland, it's mostly government owned which means the Government takes the money, they also have significantly more oil and natural gas (which if you think Scotland gets to keep all of it you're dreaming)

    It also has a lower population, so it just doesn't work out.

  • then join the army....oh wait you can't, it's British.

  • Does it really matter because at the end of the day as soon as you get to the top everybody corrupts no matter how good their intentions where in the begining.

    Heres a question what are we going to do about immigration into england and it doesnt matter about what money they create just the truth?

  • (continued) Certain Lib Dem's should be ashamed about the way they treated a principled and highly respected man like Menghis by succombing to gesture politics and cheap media jibes about his age

  • Couldn't agree more. Ming was quite popular with the man on the street.

    Hounded out... as usual.

  • Ming wasn't forced out, if you actually listened to him you would know it was entirely his decision to go.

  • It's a disgrace how the Lib Dem leaders keep getting stabbed in the back by their own members. Unity is needed within the party if they are ever going to truly challenge for government.I would have loved to vote Lib Dem in the last general election (Iraq, proportional representation etc)but I just don't think their organised enough to compete....

  • No one should be able to 'filter' what's going to be posted in response to their vids. It should be: U post it - U deal w/ peoples response good AND bad. Wussies filter their responses to make themselves feel good.

  • Hi Chris, just a little advice, you need to alter the video properties so that comments have to be approved before they are shown. This will filter out the inappropriate and foul language. You may also wish to apply the same filtering to video messages.

  • With all due respect, this video had worse production values than most that are made by kids. (Terrible audio!) Not something to impress potential voters - whatever your politics.

  • How do u feel knowing the Dems. LIE to you about they would change things when they took over power of Congress and have done nothing after getting your vote???

  • Be a bit tricky for us to take over Congress, what with that being in the US and us being a British political party.

  • I was speaking to the dems here in US not u.

  • Why?

  • well this has got nothing to do with the Dems in the US

  • hey there lib dems i was just wondering what you're going to be doing for people of my generation and the future concerns that we are going to be having (house prices,gang culture, war concerns etc) and also what is your/will be policy on immigration

  • Locally the LibDems bankrupted our council in just four years wasting an additional 11 million in the process. At County level they formed an alliance with Labour and also wrecked the finances. Your party shows NO respect for public money so why should anyone vote for you? You want to join the Euro, support mass immigration and are soft on crime. Your like NewLabour x 10. What would you do to change that? Nothing.

  • Yeah, and we will continue to thrive as long as we STAY in the UK. If we seperate from the UK, debt is sure to follow.

  • Oh please, have an opinion on Scottish Independence, but stop with the crap about how Scotland couldn't afford to be independent. We could and then some.

  • All this talk about Scottish independence - whatever happened to welsh rights?

    (PS - Im not welsh. Humans are probably outnumber by sheep in the region but hey, I think they should get a look-in)

  • Wales ain't escaping!

    muahaha

  • I would like to know what you intend to do about the growing obesity problem in the uk.

    Are FAT people really ill? say with people with cancer? and shouldn't our Health Service (what's left of it "thanks NEW labour") be concentrating on the later?

    Also why are you wasting bandwidth don't you think there are enough losers on this website already? you have about as much chance of getting in government as Channel 4 News is of being taken seriously.

    Cya...I would skip desert ;)

  • Kennedy was your best Leader, who cares about what he has done, he will always remain the Don.

  • i once nearly voted libdem then the lsd wore of

  • What kind of a democracy do we live in with attitudes like that

  • My next door neighbour has 46 grand kids,never worked a day in his life,never paid a penny in tax!!Selling his house for £499,000 and moving back home to India!!You're right!!Not everyone is a free loader

  • I call bs, his never worked yet he can afford a house? most people who are free loaders live in council houses.

  • In what fields are we strong?Diseases?Crime?Fraud?3r­d rate food?cheap labour?national identity?Free loading?Benefits?

  • We have one of the largest economies on earth.

    our crime rate isn't great, we've never been known for good food, our great food comes from immigrants.

    our benefits system does such your right. but the idea that everyone is free loading is just rubbish.

  • Your an idiot seriously.

    This is a nation built on immigration, if it wasn't for the immigrants we wouldn't be one of the strongest nations on earth.

  • Bullsh*t!

    I would say it was the other way around!

  • Heil prestonian! Your lot are few. Thank God :)

  • What are you going to do to prevent the islamification of England?

  • 2.7 percent of Brits identify as Muslim. 75 percent as Christian. Yes, the "Muzzies" are over-running you!

  • Not really 75% Christian. About 40% of Britain are atheist/agnostic.

  • First of all they will make all Muslims wear bands on there arms to show that they are Muslim, next they will put them into concentration camps.

    please note this is not serious.

  • P.S i bet some people would actually want that. "Hate some people because their minority scares us!"

  • You will support the impoverished in society (which could be you and yours at the drop of a hat) one way or another: with social programmes or with bars on your windows and crime in your neighbourhoods.....You choose.

  • My window bars are very valueably to me, they look beautiful and helps me forget the rampaging outside...

  • Why do you support wars based on lies? This goes for all Liberal Democrats in the sad lil' Anglo kingdom of America, England and Aussieland.

  • j1 you are wrong, the lib dems WANT to with drawl all the troops in Iraq and Afganistan unlike Labour

  • You must be an Aussie as our Democrats in America and England want more more with iran based on lies.

  • You must be nuts as the democrats in the US don't want war with Iran.... The republicians do.

    Nobody in the UK wants war with Iran.

    not labour, not the tories, not the lib dems

  • You must be insane as all three Democrats in the U.S want war with Iran and have said as much.

  • j1goro no, the lib dems want all the troops in Iraq to leave now, they want them all withdrwan!

  • the lib dems are not the same as the democrat party in the us.

  • Yeah well News falsh , This is nothing to do with the USA! This a UK party that want the troops OUT of Iraq, They never wanted them there in the first place.

  • Excuse me? The Liberal Democrat party was the only main British party that was 100% opposed to the war in Iraq!

  • The Liberal Democrats opposed the war from the start.

  • humder, the lib dems opposed the Iraq war as they knew it will be more bad than good with all the car bombs and kid napping

  • Uh the british Lib-dems voted against the war in Iraq. You're a confused american who doesn't have a clue.

  • Did they not teach you at Harvard that the Liberal Democrats are a BRITISH political party, not an American one? Idiot.

  • well you just made complete ass out of yourself and undermined what you where trying to say. I like your schizophrenic world view, very charming, Those evil boogiemen liberals are out to buy that porn and tax everything...

  • Wrong party, this is not the American Democrat party. It is a British party.

  • there are democrats in the UK?

  • yeah?

    theres also a labour party, a conservative party, a green party, and lots of other small parties like the respect party.

  • Also you have area specific parties like SNP (scottish nationalist party)

  • I believe in birth control. When is the world going to figure this out??? Also plant trees...

  • Please stop embarrassing your fellow countrymen.

  • Where do you stand on land mines?

  • Yo man vote dem democratz, They are the shnizzle

  • As a Liberal Democrat, I believe all people of the World should be able to vote in american Elections. I believe the southwest US should be given back to Mexico. I believe in a 50,000 pay cap and anything over that should go to the government. I believe in state run business's. Which one of you running for president will push this agenda?

  • There are different Democrats, they are a British party.

  • Wtf. That's really all I have to say to you, aside from: They aren't a US political party!!! How ignorant can you be? (Do you really think that this is the Democratic party of the US? And if you do, then you are a sad, sorry person, because of your eloquently put "description" of Democrats)

  • What? Lib dems are a political party in America. You catn say you are a dem and not be a lib. Think about it, if you voted for Dems in the last two American election yu voted for liberals, its that simple. And yes they are cut'n run cowards

  • Turn your speakers up. The guy in the video isn't from the U.S-- this is a British political party. Get a clue. Get two, they're cheap.

  • I was responding to some jackass, I know this bone head isn't from the US.

  • F*ck sake, this is a BRITISH political party! It has nothing to do with the democrats in America! Why can so many people not get it into their thick little skulls?

  • Haha, describing them as grey is a bit hard to believe! Clegg for instance, has said he will be willing to go to court and prison as a protest against ID cards. Just watch their campaign vids, you'll realise they are far from "grey"

  • Aww, too late for you they already are

  • How do you propose to persuade people that you are a real alternative government rather than a protest vote and party that has no real chance of forming a government in our lifetimes?

  • what is your stance on grammer schools.

  • hi chris ,is like to ask if you prefer brown or tomato sauce ,please explain favourite brands and reaons why

  • The liberal democrats are too liberal for me.

  • Did you pay to get this featured?

  • Almost certainly

  • No, we didn't pay anything.

  • My question is - how are you doing at getting Ming Campbell to come back?? I was just starting to like him.

  • jack it was not ming him self that wanted to leave, it was the presure from the media about his age

  • which wasn't helped by some members of his own party. I suspect disrest within the party was at least as great a factor as the media. They weren't expecting him to resign though.

  • Seriously, i think i speak for most people here when i say 'wow... bad move'.

    Everyone knows that these guys are gonna get nothing but hate from some of the people on here. But i find it hilarious that there down with the kids.

    Good luck with your deathwish, liam.

  • liam, it was not ming him self that wanted to leave, it was the presure from the media about his age

  • sorry liam i ask the wrong question please ignore it, sorry

  • um... ok.

  • Hey, let Hillary plant a Question! Whats it like being the CEO of tyhe most uneducated group of citizen in the USA.

  • The Liberal Democrats are a British party. Wrong country! This is not the Democrat party of America. You could say that question is ironic but don't worry, I am sure you are probably a intelligent person. :-)

  • can lib dem members ask more than one question video responce?

  • Yes, within reason :-)

  • oh, thank you lib dem for answering my question, is is ok if i can do another number 2 video responce, because this new question i have got is very good to ask.

    thank you lib dem

  • lib dems are "down with the kids" nice ^^

  • Not really good speech

  • lib dems hav utube

    lol

  • Yay there the underdogs we can vote tactically on to get Labour to win.

    Trying the Viral Video approach are we Libs?

    That's nearly as bad as David Camerons bike ride publicity stunts.

    No hate here, just my opinion. Although I like much about the Tory, but the Lib Dems.. Heck flame me!
