Fourthly, you are naive. The liberal democrats are a centrist party. Advocating the 'third way', they combine socialism and capitalism. It has been proven countless times by looking at other nations (ie. Scandinavian countries, Japan / the Social Democrat party of Sweden) that the most successful countries are centrist/ centre-left, moderately socialist and liberal as in social democratic parties. Study politics and you'll understand why my view is more than justifiable.

And if you don't care about the environment, that's not my problem. To be frank, I find it disgraceful that we have so many alternate energy sources available, yet we stick doggedly to fossil fuels.

You bloody liberal democrats have sold us out to the torries. For now on I'm voting for Labour. Unless, of course, you fix the voting system. Then I might forgive you and vote you, Nick.

You know what would REALLY be fair? Instead of figuring out who pays what % of their income in tax money based on what they earn, just have a single, fixed % that everyone pays, regardless of income. Or better yet, get rid of income tax all together and tax people based on what they spend instead of what they earn. THAT is fair, not what you just described.

Nick claims he is "behind those who work hard!" - But he'd love to tax my dad out of existence through "mansion tax" and various other income taxes. My dad has worked his arse off over the last 20 years to get to where me and my family are today, and all of a sudden Nick wants to take that which we have EARNED ourselves and shove it into the pockets of some illegal immigrants.

Vote Conservative, vote Labour, heck vote for anyone but this twat.

you might not be a racist, but you're a massive twat

[dalailama64]

YOU ARE A TROLL WHO HAS NO REAL FACTS. I've proved you are a troll already. This conversation is over as I do not converse with moronic losers such as yourself.

what Im highlighting is that right now we have a rather urgent issue of employment and bsuiness survival (not just in the airline industry but thats a good example). Dizzy libdem dreamers dont know how the real world works.
