Can't believe people still get confused between CLASSICAL and modern day liberalism. The Americans don't believe in classical liberalism anymore than the Brits are.
@MalargueZiggy Alas, at this point, Republicans and Democrats are merely flip sides of the same tarnished coin. Bipartisan politics haven't worked in this country (US) for a looooong time...
@MalargueZiggy Honestly, I don't know- you can't get rid of 'em; you run the risk of something much worse/ scarier coming in...and it seems contradictory to suggest more parties when critiquing the party system, but it might help out- more people might get more adequate representation that way; or rather, they would get representatives that they feel are standing up for their concerns. Like I said, I definitely don't have the answer :) but maybe it's something to look into.
@metamagicAntiEUJedi He's a complete loon here in the States, one of those people who sees Communists behind every curtain in the White House (and doesn't understand that Nazis, Communists, and Socialists are all entirely different things), who uses his radio and TV shows mainly to spread ridiculous rumors about the Obama administration and how the economy is going to collapse...then cut to commercials for people selling gold bullion. Be glad you don't know of him.
@Sylderon: ah, thank you for that briefing. Though I would argue with the notion that Nazis and Communists are 'entirely' different. They both seek total control of your life the only real difference is one is nationalist and therefore racist and the other internationalist and usually closet racist. (evidence the former USSR, weren't many foriegners welcomed there - unless there was a political point to make).
@metamagicAntiEUJedi While it is true that both were unpleasant, there are major historic differences (see Stalingrad, Battle of). I think part of the problem is that the Nazis were, technically, the National Socialist German Workers Party, but they were about as Socialist as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy.
@metamagicAntiEUJedi Communism teaches absolute equality, to the extent of becoming annoying. The former USSR wasn't the best example of -communism-. It was a proletariat dictatorship in only one nation, yes, but this wasn't the initial goal of the communist movements. It was also a country that went straight from almost absolute monarchy to that case of affairs, which didn't go very smoothly. In addition, Stalin, just Stalin.
@theodora2345 the USSR was run by the comunist party but the country was not comunist it was socialist, the clue is in the title. the socialist dictatorship is supposed to be a stepping stone to true communism acording to marxist doctrine. whether this will ever happen is highly debatable. But the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was not a communist country. also proletariat means the lowest social class and dictator is the person at the top, the two are very diferent and cannot be combined.
@guzzirider500 Excuse the "proletariat dictatorship". It was supposed to be "dictatorship of the proletariat", as said by dear Mr Marx himself. I'm not a native English speaker, so some terms just confuse me. And didn't I just say that it wasn't an example of communism...?
It's true that the general facade of "social democracy" keeps the British Tories at some distance, though recent events show how the Third Way inevitably opens new ways for the Right to fight back.

How long before this starts to happen all over again? The poorest are already paying off the nation debt by forking out 5% of their wage package. anyone above £81,000 p/a will be paying 4%. But that's the new fairer system we have here now, and if you don't like it, I'm certain the Conservatives will find a large ditch for you to die in, obviously as long as it doesn't stop the incesant flow of Jag's and Mercs getting to the office on time. We couldn't have lateness could we?
@MetusModus Well Cameron has already given a speech at the Tory conference "your country needs you" Lord Kitchener utters those words and 10 Milliion men died in just 4 years, that's 2.2 Milion per annum not bad for us, but the Tories would love a few more on the heap though!
Yes and now that Cameron's conservative party is BCK IN POWER we can observe the results soon Europe will be full with muslims and turks and instead of us our wifes will be raped by semi-human mongol turks with animal desires and the examples are 10000, all thgis thanks to Cameron.

Labour's contempt even for their own voters runs right the way through.
Do you think Labour peoples' communist pasts, paedo tendencies or treason were bad enough? You take a look at the Reds' bashing of Christianity, cashing in on still-legal drugs and plotting with the Libs to stay in power even if the Tories win!
Even other Lefties hate them for their warmongering!

@TheDustpile While Iam an American, I also follow English politics from time to time. You are right that other elements of the British left hate the Labour party. That's because this is New Labour not old Labour. New Labour is militarist and interventionist and has largely discarded socialism. The English have suffered through enough wars and borne enough of WWII and its aftermath. Both the tories and labour are worthless as far as Iam concerned.
@janebusby right, yes. Let's pretend the British government controls everything, including all the global stock exchanges. Surely, that'll give us a clear view of the present situation, no?
No. You'd have to be out of your bloody mind to think that all the shite going down currently is the work of the labour govt.
@janebusby Erm...I think you'll find this recession is much worse AND unemployment is rapidly heading to 3 million AND even before we start reducing the ANNUAL deficit that Labour kindly gave us.
@janebusby not quite. The highest it got was 13%, although it did come down from 19% which was the last labour govt figure in 1979. The current low in interest rates is arguably more dangerous, and certainly will be if we go into deflation.
Unemployment figures are fudged these days as we have 2m on the so-called 'incapacity benefit', a haven for under 35 yo recovering alcoholics.
This is the reason that the BNP have got so far. The left has up until now shouted down any discussion on Immigration as Racist. Hence why we now have the shame of a rising fascist movement in our country.
LOL Brilliant. Some things have changed since this was made now the Conservative and Labour party think immigrants can do the jobs better than British people. Or should that be exploited? Both have racist and socially divisive policies.
Urm, Comedy Central Extra have been running all of NOT on rotation, this sketch has been playing repeatedly, and the Beeb still put repeats of NOT on whenever they have a gap in their schedule...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I will always prefer Conservatives to Labour because Conservatives are pro democracy.
Whereas Labour have undemocratically handed over Parliament's lawmaking powers to the EU without public consent, against the general public's will.
The EU now makes most laws in the UK. Completely at the expense of the UK's economy and already causing the loss of thousands of jobs. Labour promised a Lisbon Treaty referendum and refused to have one after they were elected.
Hahaha, since when did the EU make MOST of the laws in the UK? Christ, mate, do some fucking reading before saying shite like that.
Also note how referendums have no legal standing in the UK. The Tories would have no vested interest in doing more referendums and making them legally binding, given that as soon as a referendum comes up on inheritence tax, that's the Tories fucked.
"Hahaha, since when did the EU make MOST of the laws in the UK?" -
Last year it was about 75%. Now YOU go and do some reading."
Bollocks. Give us a source or there's no way you have any credibility. Are you taking statutory instruments and secondary legislation into account? Do you even know what that is? Do you even know how most of the law in this country is created through the courts? Nice going there.
You do know that the Tories were the party who took us into Europe don't you. They didn't have a referendum on Maastrict. The Tories have now said they wont have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty even though they could if they really wanted. Also, the EU is a massive benefit to the UK economy and creates jobs, not destroy them.
If the Tories really thought the EU was as evil as you seem to suggest then surely they'd propose withdrawing. Which they haven't and wont.
2. The Maastricht treaty almost got John Major's government dissolved because so many Tories opposed it.
3. There's no point in a Lisbon Treaty referendum AFTER the treaty has already been ratified. The treaty can't be UNratified.
4. Haha, if you genuinely believe the EU benefits our economy and doesn't destroy jobs, go and tell that to the thousands upon thousands of people who've lost their jobs due to factories closing down because of EU law.
5. I didn't say the Tories view the EU as evil. I said they want referendums on future treaties and opposed the Lisbon treaty. They will also try and repatriate important powers lost by the treaty.
6. Anti PR? Cameron is a LOT more public than Brown. Brown avoids PMQ's and interviews. Cameron is frequently on radio and tv interviews, and posts videos here on youtube and on his website.
7. The NHS was created shortly after WW2. It's 2010 now. The Tories are different people.
and as for tories being 'pro democracy', they are the party who voted repeatedly against expanding the franchise, against devolution, and are probably the most anti PR party in parliament.
AND they voted against the creation of the NHS. The tories are bastards.
This might be totally off topic, but am I right that English people pronounce "issue" differently than American people do? I think Americans mostly say "ishue" or sg like that. Forgive me if it was a stupid question, English is not my first language you see but I'm wiling to learn every little thing about it. :) Btw, I love this video's irony. It's so well done I'd love it even if I were not a liberal. >:)
As it has been expressed to me, political affiliation is defined by brain chemistry.
So, of course, it's extremely silly to be arguing over who is right and who is wrong, and which side should have the power to push the other side around, when it all comes down to something so intrinsically uncontrollable as chemicals flowing through the brain.
Things might appear more civil if people would stop trying.
I would find this highly unlikely considering the fact that the government changes hands (approx) every 8 years. Unless large swathes of the population are replaced by death or immigration (in the region of 20%) then that wouldn't make sense.
Although there is the old maxim; 'never discussion religion or politics' (because in theory the argument will never end). I discuss both however :P
@Jcolinsol hm I don't want to argue with you 'cause I'm far from being an expert on the subject and English is not my first language but I believe that our poltical view is not determined but somehow developed through experiences. For example a gay man will never be a far-right winger because he's hated in that community. Speaking of myself I deny my parents' ways of politics because of things I found out about myself that I know are not compatible with conservativism.
Well, conservative and liberal are really meaningless arbitrary terms. I mean there are homosexuals in the republican party. And the far right, the libertarians, are often quite accepting of homosexuality. I think it's important to break down these stereotypical notions of politics, and studying it from an empirical perspective (i.e. studying brain function in relation to politics) is useful towards than end.
@Jcolinsol well you might be right. I just brought up homosexuality because I couldn't think of a better example and it's not so accepted by the right-wing where I live. Btw, are you studying the subject? If so I would be very thankful if you linked me some studies according to the topic, I'm really interested. (Sorry for my English)
How Sickeningly true, let us be reminded of this during the up-coming election! This is the real face of Conservatism I fear. Whilst voting Labour is also pretty inefectual, seeing as how all political parties are pretty much the same i.e. we are now all enslaved to market forces, and are probably all governed by the illuminati in any case!
Slap a solar panel on the guy's house and he's David Cameron. The English are going to vote this party back into power some day very soon - we have been warned.
VERBAL warnings would be heeded--or no warning at all would be necessary--if 1997-2009 did not show a WORSE AND OPPOSITE REALITY.
If the electorate live lives they are satisfied with, they would be voting for the Party in power or be indifferent to voting--why do you think there are protest votes and incumbents get kicked out.
Him speaking slowly to get over his stutter just makes him sound more smug. Brilliant man.

Labour's contempt even for their own voters runs right the way through.
Do you think Labour peoples' communist pasts, paedo tendencies or treason were bad enough? You take a look at the Reds' bashing of Christianity, cashing in on still-legal drugs and plotting with the Libs to stay in power even if the Tories win!
Even other Lefties hate them for their warmongering!

@TheDustpile While Iam an American, I also follow English politics from time to time. You are right that other elements of the British left hate the Labour party. That's because this is New Labour not old Labour. New Labour is militarist and interventionist and has largely discarded socialism. The English have suffered through enough wars and borne enough of WWII and its aftermath. Both the tories and labour are worthless as far as Iam concerned.

Last time the Tories were in control during a recession we had 3 million unemployed and 15% interest rates.
The recession we're currently in is much much worse, yet we have significantly less unemployed and significantly lower interest rates.
THINK about it!

@janebusby right, yes. Let's pretend the British government controls everything, including all the global stock exchanges. Surely, that'll give us a clear view of the present situation, no?
No. You'd have to be out of your bloody mind to think that all the shite going down currently is the work of the labour govt.
trallala 1 year ago
@janebusby Erm...I think you'll find this recession is much worse AND unemployment is rapidly heading to 3 million AND even before we start reducing the ANNUAL deficit that Labour kindly gave us.
wikichris 1 year ago
@janebusby not quite. The highest it got was 13%, although it did come down from 19% which was the last labour govt figure in 1979. The current low in interest rates is arguably more dangerous, and certainly will be if we go into deflation.
Unemployment figures are fudged these days as we have 2m on the so-called 'incapacity benefit', a haven for under 35 yo recovering alcoholics.

This is the reason that the BNP have got so far. The left has up until now shouted down any discussion on Immigration as Racist. Hence why we now have the shame of a rising fascist movement in our country.

I will always prefer Conservatives to Labour because Conservatives are pro democracy.
Whereas Labour have undemocratically handed over Parliament's lawmaking powers to the EU without public consent, against the general public's will.
The EU now makes most laws in the UK. Completely at the expense of the UK's economy and already causing the loss of thousands of jobs. Labour promised a Lisbon Treaty referendum and refused to have one after they were elected.
Tories will make referendums law.
MrJST87 2 years ago
Hahaha, since when did the EU make MOST of the laws in the UK? Christ, mate, do some fucking reading before saying shite like that.
Also note how referendums have no legal standing in the UK. The Tories would have no vested interest in doing more referendums and making them legally binding, given that as soon as a referendum comes up on inheritence tax, that's the Tories fucked.

"Hahaha, since when did the EU make MOST of the laws in the UK?" -
Last year it was about 75%. Now YOU go and do some reading.
BTW, I meant Conservatives will make it law that referendums on treaties have to take place before a treaty is signed. Like in Ireland.
The majority of the UK were against the Lisbon Treaty, and Labour refused to let us vote on it.

Bollocks. Give us a source or there's no way you have any credibility. Are you taking statutory instruments and secondary legislation into account? Do you even know what that is? Do you even know how most of the law in this country is created through the courts? Nice going there.

@MrJST87
You do know that the Tories were the party who took us into Europe don't you. They didn't have a referendum on Maastrict. The Tories have now said they wont have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty even though they could if they really wanted. Also, the EU is a massive benefit to the UK economy and creates jobs, not destroy them.
If the Tories really thought the EU was as evil as you seem to suggest then surely they'd propose withdrawing. Which they haven't and wont.
alexswood 2 years ago
1. They took us into Europe with a referendum.
2. The Maastricht treaty almost got John Major's government dissolved because so many Tories opposed it.
3. There's no point in a Lisbon Treaty referendum AFTER the treaty has already been ratified. The treaty can't be UNratified.
4. Haha, if you genuinely believe the EU benefits our economy and doesn't destroy jobs, go and tell that to the thousands upon thousands of people who've lost their jobs due to factories closing down because of EU law.
MrJST87 2 years ago 2
5. I didn't say the Tories view the EU as evil. I said they want referendums on future treaties and opposed the Lisbon treaty. They will also try and repatriate important powers lost by the treaty.
6. Anti PR? Cameron is a LOT more public than Brown. Brown avoids PMQ's and interviews. Cameron is frequently on radio and tv interviews, and posts videos here on youtube and on his website.
7. The NHS was created shortly after WW2. It's 2010 now. The Tories are different people.
MrJST87 2 years ago
@MrJST87
and as for tories being 'pro democracy', they are the party who voted repeatedly against expanding the franchise, against devolution, and are probably the most anti PR party in parliament.
AND they voted against the creation of the NHS. The tories are bastards.

This might be totally off topic, but am I right that English people pronounce "issue" differently than American people do? I think Americans mostly say "ishue" or sg like that. Forgive me if it was a stupid question, English is not my first language you see but I'm wiling to learn every little thing about it. :) Btw, I love this video's irony.

As it has been expressed to me, political affiliation is defined by brain chemistry.
So, of course, it's extremely silly to be arguing over who is right and who is wrong, and which side should have the power to push the other side around, when it all comes down to something so intrinsically uncontrollable as chemicals flowing through the brain.
Things might appear more civil if people would stop trying.

@Jcolinsol
I would find this highly unlikely considering the fact that the government changes hands (approx) every 8 years. Unless large swathes of the population are replaced by death or immigration (in the region of 20%) then that wouldn't make sense.
Although there is the old maxim; 'never discussion religion or politics' (because in theory the argument will never end). I discuss both however :P
perfacetus 2 years ago
@Jcolinsol hm I don't want to argue with you 'cause I'm far from being an expert on the subject and English is not my first language but I believe that our poltical view is not determined but somehow developed through experiences. For example a gay man will never be a far-right winger because he's hated in that community. Speaking of myself I deny my parents' ways of politics because of things I found out about myself that I know are not compatible with conservativism.
z91tora 2 years ago
Well, conservative and liberal are really meaningless arbitrary terms. I mean there are homosexuals in the republican party. And the far right, the libertarians, are often quite accepting of homosexuality. I think it's important to break down these stereotypical notions of politics, and studying it from an empirical perspective (i.e. studying brain function in relation to politics) is useful towards than end.
Jcolinsol 2 years ago
@Jcolinsol well you might be right. I just brought up homosexuality because I couldn't think of a better example and it's not so accepted by the right-wing where I live. Btw, are you studying the subject? If so I would be very thankful if you linked me some studies according to the topic, I'm really interested. (Sorry for my English)

How Sickeningly true, let us be reminded of this during the up-coming election! This is the real face of Conservatism I fear. Whilst voting Labour is also pretty inefectual, seeing as how all political parties are pretty much the same i.e. we are now all enslaved to market forces, and are probably all governed by the illuminati in any case!

VERBAL warnings would be heeded--or no warning at all would be necessary--if 1997-2009 did not show a WORSE AND OPPOSITE REALITY.
If the electorate live lives they are satisfied with, they would be voting for the Party in power or be indifferent to voting--why do you think there are protest votes and incumbents get kicked out.
