Bill Maher on UK Conservatives - why the UK works NO RELIGIOUS VIEWS IN POWER! (theUKatheist)

here in the UK religion has no say in the matters, this way intelligent people are elected into power and even the losing parties work along with them to fix things. i feel that if america did the same and took religion away and elected an atheist president they would be 1000000 times better off. religion is a poison, a virus, a disease, it needs to be cured with logic and reason. give power to these things, NOT religion.

The UK is virtually non religious, only a religious person would disagree. If someone trying to get elected here spoke about god more than once, they would lose... We don't wanna hear about "god" - we want to hear about reality. How can "Faith" get mixed in with reality...

This is probably the first time i hear this Maher guy saying something clever. Republicans are an embarrassment to European conservatives, and Democrats are too right-wing compared to the European center-left parties. that's how retarded the american political spectrum is

[donzaloog1400]

I always say Americans can stand to learn a few lessons from their forefathers in Europe. I guess some Americans will find that offensive, well tough titty. The collection of countries that makes up Europe boasts countries that are older than America, it's not a bad idea to listen to your elders once in a wile, you may learn something.

@vash8millenium you should watch more of his video's then, maher is one of the most intellegent americans that america has, his views on how america should be run are totally on point, you cant run a country on faith and religion, not possible hense why britain is better run than america

"Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us; that society is stronger when we make vows to each other and support each other. So I don't support gay marriage despite being a Conservative. I support gay marriage because I'm a Conservative." -David Cameron

[MrSnufkin86]

@graemeEf1 Civil partnerships are legal and afford same-sex couples identical rights and responsibilities to civil marriage, its only a small step forward for the UK to change the unions title and this doesn't seem to far away

[graemeEf1]

Of course Gay Marriage is still not legal in the UK

@reeceyj95. You make a good point as well. However people should remember that Liberalism in the UK is more on the right than the left of the political spectrum. The Liberals have been in government three times in the last century with the Tories. Clegg's first job in politics was working for Leon Brittan (a tory). Clegg is not on the left he is on the right of the Lib Dems and of british politics. That is why he gets along with Cameron so well.

@densaner77 You make a good point, I suppose the ultra liberal Clegg balances things out. But I think Cameron as PM is the best we can get from that party. I'd hate to think what Theresa May would say about things like same-sex marriage. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a LibDem government, now I really don't know. As a 16 y.o mixed race Briton with a belief that everyone should be equal, keeping the BNP away is my primary concern,
