Kiyouta Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 LOL. Someone in the town where I live has graffitied our local David Cameron poster by giving him a Hitler mustache and nose ring.

Anathema Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 And this sums up the future one:Hehe.Blair was just as bad, though- IIRC the previous lord chancellor whatshisname was his flatmate from his college days, and I'm guessing he's not the only one.As for Thatcher, I'm not sure I would have voted for her if I were a contemporary Brit...but some of the stuff she's now reviled for was necessary and would never have happened under a labour government. For example, she banned the closed shop practice. Before that, unions forced employers to hire only unionised workers. This is even more galling if you realize that part of your mandatory union fees would, in most cases, be funneled to the Labour party in election time.That said, I don't like either Labour or the Tories much. I'd probably vote Lib Dem, even if they don't stand a chance in my constituency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Found an interesting article recently about political posters as they are now compared to as they were. I'm inclined to follow the logic, given that practically anything said by a politician these days is uninspiring and insipid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 As for Thatcher, I'm not sure I would have voted for her if I were a contemporary Brit...but some of the stuff she's now reviled for was necessary and would never have happened under a labour government. For example, she banned the closed shop practice. Before that, unions forced employers to hire only unionised workers.And what exactly was wrong with that? Closed shops are the best safeguard against union-busting employers. They ensure high wages and may even reduce capitalist exploitation to a tolerable level.Besides, banning any kind of agreement between employers and unions is a use of state power to restrict freedom of contract. And I thought you liberals supported freedom of contract as a matter of principle. Or is it ok for the state to intervene in the economy as long as it's on the side of the capitalists?This is even more galling if you realize that part of your mandatory union fees would, in most cases, be funneled to the Labour party in election time.And part of the mandatory "fee" that you pay to your boss - the value he extracts from you in order to make a profit - is often funneled to the Tory party.That said, I don't like either Labour or the Tories much. I'd probably vote Lib Dem, even if they don't stand a chance in my constituency.Ever the loyal liberal. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 "Lib Dems aren't really liberal in the continental meaning of it though."Depends. They're certainly more like the D66 than the VVD in Dutch terms. Mind, they're often happy to push privatisation when they can't score political points off opposing it. On the other hand, even the Orange Book wing aren't the rabid free-marketeers you get in the continental liberal parties, and there is still a clear social-democratic strand to their politics, which is sadly being brushed aside by the present leadership. That's a mistake that'll cost them, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
