Line up all the lying, greedy, arrogant selfish politicians (That'd be all the MP's then......) get members of the public to shoot them, stake the bodies onto the walls of westminister, and leave them to the ******* crows!!!

Time for a public revolution......

the problem with our goverment is we dont choose our pm
we vote for our local bloke or bird they go off and the lot of them choose one of there mates without our imput
i'd be a yellow man if push came to shove but i dont vote because i hold the belief that due to the way our country is run its a waste of time its all singing and dancing before election time then just the same old hat and more legisltion with someone elses name and party attacted

I'm not ignorant or nieve to the government and their policies / scandals etc, I keep up with current affairs etc - but I pretty much believe that every government will screw you over at some point in time. I try not to think much about it really, as it will only stress me out through ****ing me off. I've come to accept the fact that every penny I earn, the government wants!!!!

Interesting to hear how many people claim to hate the government we have now.

The writing was on the wall way back in 2005, but at least 35.19% of you voted for them.

And to those who don't vote, you have no right to comment on politics or the way the country is run. If you have an opinion, the place to express it is the polling booth - 'They're all as bad as each other' and 'better the Devil you know' are just lame excuses for not wanting to make a decision on which side of the fence you stand.

I did vote,but not Labour in 2005,and thats from a traditional Labour supporter.I wouldnt vote for a government that illegally invaded Iraq.Having done that on principal I think I was right for other reasons too.Too long in power has made them arrogant and stale,but I wont hold my breath anticipating great things from the next lot.
Actually I dont think it will matter much who gets in next as economic collapse will dictate what happens,whoever is in Downing Street.

As a side note which did rather amuse me, a few years ago the BNP had a kind of "big push" and managed to secure some popularity and a fair few seats round here. I think they would have had more luck to have the "big push" now given the current climate. Or perhaps leave it a little longer and wait for some hyperinflation...

Humm, no government will be perfect.
I will not be moving to another country because I firmly beleave this is the best country in the world to live in. esp if I get sick, loose my job or find myself in legal difficulties. There is always help somewhere in this country I feel.

Saying that, I do feel completely and utterly p@@@ed off by the chav culture.

The "having to prove your self inocent" if some one blames you for some thing totally ubsurd culture.

The fact that people seems so self absorbed that they forget that in fact we are all humans and have feelings and not robots culture.

The I don't need a job because I'm on drugs, booze or too fat or lazy to earn my way in life so what the heck, scum off the social culture.

And that some people feel the need to get so drunk or high on drugs that they feel the need to stab, glass or hurl abuse at people because it makes them feel good culture.

you can't blame the government for everything too.


I'm not sure who I will vote for as they are all as bad as each other.

Boris should be PM. That would be interesting!

I did ask before which political party would be better. It was a geniune question, yet no-one has answered.
