I'd love to know what the lib dems would do for the "INJUSTICES " i the world other than letting them all come to Britain to destroy it. What can the libdems do for the palestinians? but give them aid which will end up buying more weapons for hamas. Maybe they would like to get rid of the jews. Idon't beleive that, my point is we can't solve the fundamental issues facing mankind this century, Not enough food,expanding populations, global warming,ethnic tentions.

Im a Lib Dem because i believe in higher VAT, taxing the poor and pensioners more, and betraying my party....clegg has really screwed over liberalism.
There are som good Liberal Ideas that I belive in. I just cant take the big government part. It should be 1/5 its current size. Police/Fire/Millitary sized. Then I would be a Lib.
@npe1 yea because someone who supports change to an electoral voting system that nigh on never results in a hung parliament and therefore coalition govt. really had that on his top list of priorities didnt he
cont; but I still appreciate the reasons the coalition was formed in the first place. As no party had an outright majority it would have been undemocratic for one party to be represented entirely alone in government. Whatever decision Nick Clegg made would have been criticised. Labour especially is in no position to lecture given that they had 13 years to implement certain things and didn't do so. They did not make clear what their cuts would have amounted to and its not as if they have cont;
cont; never entered a coalition with the Tories themselves. I don't see how people can justify calling Nick Clegg a 'traitor' when he has been entirely consistant- throughout the campaign he made it clear he would work with the party that had the largest mandate (the Tories). However my appreciation of the difficult situation Clegg was in does not extend to slavishly supporting everything the coalition does and you make a number of very valid points.
cont.... I should also add that whilst I am a Lib Dem supporter, I do not simply accept every policy in a ultra partisan way some other politicos I know do. There are certain Lib Dem policies I am uncomfortable with. I believe are views on crime are largely out of touch and imply that criminals and victims are on an equal footing. I do not accept that- in fact on crime, I am probably more of a conservative. I also think the Lib Dems have been far too silent on religious extremism when that is
cont; that as liberals they should be the most outspoken critics of this, but to an extend the politically correct notion of 'not offending' has shackled this party for a long time. That is not 'tolerance' or 'egalitarianism' it is just stupidity and weakness. There are Lib Dems who may cringe at my comments but I believe activists or supporters of political parties should be honest in areas they feel those parties are flawed in.
The so-called Liberal Democrats are nothing of the sort; they are Labour in disguise. Improving standards of education does not require higher levels of public spenidng or taxation. Taxing the rich is not necessary in order to bring back discipline in the classroom and allow headteachers to expel unruly pupils. Building free schools requires government funding, but this can be achieved through spending cuts not taxes. Vote UKIP for a low tax economy.
The LIbDems may have compromised on what they actually get done in this coalition, but they havn't neccesarily compromised on their BELIEFS. Why do so many people assume this?
Definition Clegg: Two varieties - A flying parasite that lives off of sucking the blood of living animals, or a human parasite that's making a good living off of the votes of other LIB DEMS.
These are excellent reasons, principled and honest seeming.
Yet now that they are a coalition force under the Tories, how can we believe them.
They lost their independent voice yesterday, as a stable government means a united front. I agree with Simon Hughes for example on Palestine, but are you telling me their 57 or so seats bring enough clout to change, Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox, who thinks we should naturally ally with the Israelis over Palestine, and who supports a war against Iran?
If they believe in Liberalism why not vote for the Liberal Party?
How can that guy say he does not believe in "big government" when the lib dems agree with the European Union, devolved parliaments etc. Also If we have a free market economy then "little people" need to have a stake in it through small businesses. As the E.U. favours big businesses they would not. People should also be aware that the Lib Dems support post office closures. Post offices are often a centre of village life.
If Herr Hameron can make a deal with Herr Cloebells of the Lib Dems, then there will be a new Nazi government in der Britische Isles, the first since Frau Thatchler.
the Lib Dems immigration policies are insane: an amnesty for illegals, pro-multiculturalism. Some Liberal Democrats want open borders, i.e no restrictions on immigration at all! They even took time to have a policy ALLOWING 16 year olds to watch and be in porn films. People need to know this.
Nick Clegg states that he has No religion!!! but his wife and children are being brought up Catholic!!!!! another tony blair in the making.... to reck the United Kingdom
What have the White British or those of British origin ever given the world? NOTHING but slavery.
Now we are fighting back, and one day you will hopefully be a minority in your own fuckin country. :-D Your numbers are already dwindling, thanks to abortions (God bless those doctors who dismember those unborn white kids) and also thankfully 'positive discrimination' is now taking a hold of the UK. you white males can't even apply for some jobs! things will get even better when lib dem get in.
@janebusby If you worked hard all your life and end up with 50% of your salary going to pay for benefits for people who will not work, and houses for people who get knocked up just for a place of their own.
David Cameron is someone who is going to bring back a bit of power to the government, cutting off benefits for people who won't work. Making people who are on benefits do community service, that seems pretty fair to me.
I am a Liberal Democrat because I believe in the right of the individual citizen to a free and democratic society. I have had that belief since a very young age and I will retain that belief until my dying day.
@LeonSKennedy828 I am not right wing at all. The simple fact is that immigration is a major problem and the Lib Dems cannot be trusted. I'd rather have Labour back.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Such a shame that what we've got now is a party that sells out its values just so it can have a seat next to the prime minister. Throwing its massive base of Student voters to the wolves, standing by and allowing Trident project to go through not to mention nuclear power stations being proposed. Sacrificing proportional representation in faovur of the A/B system which can only benefit them (No labour voter will by Conservative in second place and no Tory will put labour 2nd)
I made that comment before the coalition was formed. However I still stand by the points I made. As the smaller party in this coalition, I think it would be naive for people to think it would ever have been a 50-50 situation. Admitedly I am not overly enthusiastic about a party I have supported for 5 years now working with a party which has some policies I loathe (esp the Tories vilification of all welfare claimants- but that is something New Labour is equally guilty of) con;
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 I appreciate your comments were made 6 months ago. Subsequently, events have unfolded that have shown the Lib Dems in a different light. I used to vote Lib Dem at every election. I had hoped for some backbone from them to temper the Tories in coalition. Lib Dem voters have seen little to no evidence of that. Clegg is little more than Cameron's fag ('fag' as in Eton gopher) it seems, parodied in press cartoons as a shoe shiner (The Times). The Lib Dems have acted shamefully.
All we need is everything equal and fair; the other two parties cannot and have not delivered this.
I think its a contributor to that odd "boredom" factor that not just teenagers experience (and is therefore a contributor in part to the rise in anti-social behaviour), but now the public at large, the insane feeling of going in circles with no real choice but to walk the de-facto lifestyle of mortgage-debt-flatline.
The liberal democrats are the only party who can change this, and bring choice.
a) the BNP is a small party that hasn't got a single MP
b) British muslims are represented in all three big parties
c) Criticism of Islam and especially not Islamism is not a substitute for 'racism'. Some critics are racist, but others, such as me, recognise the real threat posed by the ideology of political Islamism. I have friends from across the world, including a number of muslims but the idea that religion should be above criticism is absurd.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 - no my claim has real foundation, firstly no areas that have very large asian populations have returned a liberal democrat MP. I do not vote because this country isnt democratic at all! - You prove that yourself when you state that the bnp hasnt a single MP!! haha Parties like respect you keep out - keep power for yourselves! Oh, as for muslims are represented by all three parties - those parties only look after themselves - they represent NO ONE!
The Labour party recently said that lib dem supporters should vote for labour to keep the conservatives out. NO! THIS MAKES MEANGRY! We should vote for the lib dems to keep the conservatives AND labour out!! If everyone makes a stand for change by voting lib dems, they might actually have a chance of winning. Don't just assume because they haven't won before that they cannot now!!
Remember my friends its going to be you and I who have to tell our children why we did not vote for the LibDem when we all had the hard facts tell us we should. Its a fact that if we dont vote for the LibDems in 2010, you and I we will get more broken promises / blunders/ lies from labour & conservatives, Its going to be a very sad story to tell your children and grandchildren that you and I had that chance for change, I was a conservative for more than 55 years, Im voting for the LibDems.
The Conservative & Labours behaviour over the last 50 years is diabolical. All the false statements made with deliberate intent to deceive us so Lord Ashcroft could be a Lord. Ive been a Conservative for more than 55 years, and Im sick of all the smoke & mirrors and broken promises, one after another. My wife and I with friends will be voting for the LibDems.
back in 1995 i prayed to vote for the party that is right for all in other words stability and fairness for everyone of all races no matter of which religion or no religion one is, even though i'm a christian. The lib dems opposed the war in iraq i suffered traumas before and during the troops were sent to Iraq under a Labour goverment and a labour council in london in which i grew up so I know Labour did handle things wrongly for communities throughout london and britain as a whole.
@anillondon89 They are not racist. This is one of the major parties for equality... everyone should have the right to find out their own potential in education etc, including those from other races.
There are Lib Dem councillors in numerous inner city areas in London, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Leeds- I have personally met a number of ethnic minority Lib Dem councillors and campaigners. And I have personally campaigned in areas with large ethnic minorities. Your absurd claim is therefore baseless. I would be interested to know what party you support?
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Like I said the the chap earlier, how can it be baseless when its a fact - no areas with a very large asian population has returned a liberal MP. I do not vote because this country is not democratic.
Exactly what evidence do you have that the British Liberal Democrats are 'racist'. They are probably the most tolerant party in British politics- some would say too tolerant.
Do you actually have conviction behind that statement? Or are you another one of the morons that have been socialised into this stupid idea that the Lib dem's aren't a serious party?
Here's an idea, try studying their policies and then maybe you'll realise that they deserve the vote more than any other party in the U.K.
Considering your Youtube profile consists of "White pride" and passages about such things as "Exposing the Jews" and references to your homophobia, I think we can safely ignore your opinion as one of a narrow-minded bigot.
How have these type of people made our people's lives a misery?
By being so soft on crime that crime is an everyday thing. By allowing our country to be invaded with limitless amounts of foreigners (unless something is done, we will be out-numbered in our own country, no other race would put up with that in their own country). By giving £billions of our money away instead of spending it on improving Britain, etc.
Your "equality" has ruined Britain and is causing needless misery.
ha you think u live in misery then go live in an indian reserve in canada or maybe go take a trip to sudan or burkina faso. and here in Canada people like you are not allowed to operate and hateing a visible minority and those of diffrent sexuality is a CRIME
@stepheng1483 lol here in canda the liberals are the natural governing party exept now but by the next election they'll be back in power ith huge majoritys again
well here in canada the conservative party had the biggest defeat in history to the Bloc, Ndp, and the Liberals and only managed to get 2 seats. even the con pmlost her own seat. lol the cons are just a joke here
no technically not beacause these are new conservatives. they used to be called the reforms beacause in 1992 they still had the PC's (progressive conservatives)
and so the populist right wing party (reform) had to stay reform coz they had the name. and also the PC,s were too weak to hold out in another election so they had formed a coalition with reform in 2003 and the call theselves the CPC now
but beacause of their unruly cabinet and retarded throne speach i expect they will be out soon
and correction it was 1993 . and also they have a minority so they have to tow the parliment line or they will be thrown out by the 3 other socialist Bloc who are Quebec National socialists basicly and want quebec to be independant, New Democrats who are far left and the liberals who are Center left.
@stepheng1483 Being againgst bigotry towards gays and other races does not make one a "traitor" it makes them decent people, unlike you right wing nationalist scum bags who hate anyone different to you.
HA lol wow you know nothig. Pierre Trudeau PM from 1968 to 79 then from 80 to 84. was a liberal socialist and was banned from enetering the united states in the 50's coz they thought he was a Communist...... wich he was but thats no matter. and he was also a firm beleiver in Liberalism. you are thinking of the jean chrétien liberals when you say that. but they had to be fiscally conservative beacause of how the proggressive conservatives had ruined the economy.
I am a LibDem because they deal with local issues more effectivly than tory or labour, they belive in scrapping tuition fees, they are for votes at 16, they dont discrimate, theyre fair and they belive pasionatly in equality
@werdanny1994 like i said, no they are not fair and do discriminate. how many lib dems live in multicultural areas? ...maybe they avoid multicultural areas...hmmm
The Lib Dems are DIGUSTING a liberal open massive immigration party that has no soultions but to benefit the upper-middle class yet there not affected by there diastrous polices.
There's a thing called the 'preamble' to our party constitution, which sums up all our values in about 1 side of A4. It's really stirring stuff and perfectly written. Every time I read it I know why I am a LibDem. One line says we 'celebrate diversity' and want 'freedom from conformity'. That's what does it for me - that principle that everyone is different and their worth is based not their class or colour or age or how much money they have or how they look. That's liberalism, for me.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
Also, the United States isn't built on fairness and feelings, it's built by the constitution.
BTW, welfare and food stamps are also against the constitution.
@rossmcl177 you know I have a massive amount of respect for those ideologies but to get there we need to get the ownership class off our backs. Labour is the party to do that.. Eventually I hope we will reach a stage that the Lib dems can run this country. But right now we need a party that will stand up to them on behalf of the people.
@cheyaura Do you really believe that TODAY's labour party is about beating the ownership classes??? The post-Blair Labour party??? Sorry but that's a fantasy. They are now so right-wing that they are almost indistinguishable from the Tories. The most redistributive party in the current election campaign is the LibDems.
@rossmcl177 I understand the point you make but I think you have to realise that just how "left wing" (if we are operating uder those terms) any party could be is defined by very restrictive parameters. Thatcher handed a lot of power to the corporations and banks and their influence over the government is very significant. The lib dems would be a great party for maintaining distribution as you eloquantly define it but too fight for it from a position of impariality is ineffective.
I have to say PR and fedralism are worth enough goals. However, why in Scotland are the lib "dems" opposing a referendium on Scottish independance; not democratic at all! And scoring political points on the issue of the Libyan bombers realise? This goes agianst the ethical/alternitve view point the lib dems like to think they have.
All Liberal, Gay Socialist scumbags living in the of the United States of America. Leave us now! or Die! May the plagues of Almighty God come down with fury upon all of your heads for your lascivious sins of lust and deception!. May maggots eat your very flesh to the bone until all of you suffer ignominious anguish and death. Die now queers and faggots! You socialist pigs make me sick to the deepest pit of my stomach! It is WAR! AND YOU WILL LOOSE...YOU CHICKEN GIRLIES!!!!! BAK BAK BAK BAK!
are you being serious, this sounds like a homophobic attack on your own country.
What do you have againt gays? is it some experience or event that made you so homophobic or are you just sick in the head?
though I personaly am not LGBT I do not protest to their views or activities, you want to know why? Because I am a normal, modern, considerate person who believes in equality and human rights and not a dumb, old fasioned republican ways.
Nick Clegg speaks the typical left-wing populist demagoguery. The so-called "high incomes" are produced by most employers: less than 5% of population. Most are not rich at all.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm all for small buisness. But having a free market sort of betrays that concept, big companies like Tesco's Microsoft and other big buisness monopolies crush small buisnesses into the ground, and well, Conservative's pretty much support the idea of bug buisness and consumerism so meh, I will never vote for them even if you put a gun to my head.
Liberal Democrats aren't all that but I can say, they are best choice of the three in my opinion.
and FYI, they aren't socialists. they are liberal centrists, get it right. Labout are on the middle right, Conservatives are on the Far right, Liberal Democrats are centre. Your just calling them socialists because their not the conservatives, McCarthyism didn't die in the 60's, we still have idiots like you going "OMFG SOCIALIST EVIL HITLER!!!11!"
Labour on the middle right? Conservatives on the far right? Sounds like the perspective of a radical left-winger, a socialist or communist, not of the majority of Britons. You have given yourself away, my friend.
The reference to McCarthyism is ridiculous. In any case, the Venona files prove McCarthy was right - there WERE Soviet agents in the State Department.
I am on the left wing, but I'm also a humanist and pro civil rights. I'm not a communist and generally I try to take the good from all political philosophies and put them in one. You seem to think Socialism goes hand in hand with dictatorship and all the bad shit for some odd reason. You are very naive if you think that.
I take an NHS from Socialism, take Rights from Liberalism and possibly the removal of inheritence tax from Conservatism. Its not just black and white, the worlds a mixed bag.
In so far as the Lib Dems support Muslim immigration and multiculturalism they are undermining democracy, destroying Britain's national and cultural identity, and promoting a totalitarian ideology that denies people their human rights.
It is Socialist policies, implemented by the Labour party, that have brought Britain to the brink of extinction as a free and independent country.
Would the Lib Dems behave differently? Nothing their leaders have said leads me to suppose otherwise.
Britain needs Muslim immigration like a hole in the head. If immigrants are required, they should be carefully selected. Uncontrolled immigration has led to the formation of a Muslim fifth column in Britain. High Muslim birth rates will bring about a Muslim majority in a few decades and consequently the loss of indigenous Britons' rights and freedoms. Non-Muslim Brits will become an oppressed minory in their own country.
ha talk to a canadian and they'll tell you they think cons have destroyed canadian national identity with the Fta and Nafta.
infact it was thatcher who pressured canada to accept FTA and also befroe you vote conservative think back to margret and look at how she fucked your country
McCarthy was a retard, he walked around calling anyone who wasn't far right a communist, why don't, I just walk around calling all black people criminals, sure theres a few black people who committ crimes sure as there is white people and all the rest, but why not,
If you examine the record, you will find that the overwhelming majority of those accused by McCarthy were in fact communists and Soviet agents. The Venona files prove that.
WTF?! How generalised do you want to be?! I'm afraid that "western" politics is a lot more subtle that this and you really need to go and get some books read.
The world isn't divided into "Left" and "Right" any more than you are "English". Your ancestors, whether you like it or not, were a soup of 15-20 nations that all invaded at one time or another.
So it is with politics. One can't legislate for individual cases as you would never get anything done... (cont'd)...

These are excellent reasons, principled and honest seeming.
Yet now that they are a coalition force under the Tories, how can we believe them.
They lost their independent voice yesterday, as a stable government means a united front. I agree with Simon Hughes for example on Palestine, but are you telling me their 57 or so seats bring enough clout to change, Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox, who thinks we should naturally ally with the Israelis over Palestine, and who supports a war against Iran?

If they believe in Liberalism why not vote for the Liberal Party?
How can that guy say he does not believe in "big government" when the lib dems agree with the European Union, devolved parliaments etc. Also If we have a free market economy then "little people" need to have a stake in it through small businesses. As the E.U. favours big businesses they would not. People should also be aware that the Lib Dems support post office closures. Post offices are often a centre of village life.

There's a thing called the 'preamble' to our party constitution, which sums up all our values in about 1 side of A4. It's really stirring stuff and perfectly written. Every time I read it I know why I am a LibDem. One line says we 'celebrate diversity' and want 'freedom from conformity'. That's what does it for me - that principle that everyone is different and their worth is based not their class or colour or age or how much money they have or how they look.

In so far as the Lib Dems support Muslim immigration and multiculturalism they are undermining democracy, destroying Britain's national and cultural identity, and promoting a totalitarian ideology that denies people their human rights.

Britain needs Muslim immigration like a hole in the head. If immigrants are required, they should be carefully selected. Uncontrolled immigration has led to the formation of a Muslim fifth column in Britain.

Non-Muslim Brits will become an oppressed minory in their own country.
