I'm forming my own party. It involves pencils.

Vote Graphite - friction free politics!

 

 

We draw on all sections of the electorate, and are unarguably the only party that ticks all the boxes.

Je suis carbone!

Vote Graphene ... where the real future lies.

Before you take-up the stubby pencil in the voting booth you might like to check-out what all the shysters pocket.  In the Guardian today there's a report featuring the work of a couple of IT wonks who've created a 'one-stop' website to allow us to check; they also have downloadable aps for those who want to add a button to their browser of choice:

I know the info is available elsewhere but this site saves having to mine down through Government sites.

Hi Malcolm,

 

I'm one of the the founders of the website www.whoshallivotefor.com.  Thanks for visiting our website.

 

However, I'm curious - can I ask what you mean by your statement "another database crawl"?

 

Regards,

 

Chris Haycock

Chris, there are quite a few like this and they all perm the answers to come out with their results. Not saying its wrong or anything just a+g+k+x=c1..... whereas...... a+b+k+x=c2........ Or have I got it worng?

How dare you promote your upstart party here!  Everyone knows that Graphene is just a fad, and that a vote for Graphene is a vote for Soot (the nasty, dirty, party that wants to bring back the industrial revolution).

 

Napoleon wanted nothing more than to get his hands on us (because he had irregular balls), but as the one true national party we sent his pathetic troops sliding.  Remember Graphite is a moderator; not one of your closet fissionist parties.  In fact without us there'd be universal nuclear meltdown!

 

Like Coal, Love Anthracite, Vote Graphite -- the purest and most stable form of Carbon!

If you're an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself.

The government says there's no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what

do you do? You opt for Part G.

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun (Part G) and four bullets. You

are allowed to shoot four politicians. This means, of course, that you'll be

sent to prison where you'll receive three meals a day, a roof over your

head, central heating & air conditioning, cable TV, library, and all the

Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's

great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or

heart? They're all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as

they do now!

And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told

you they can't afford for you to go into a home. And....you can get rid of 4

useless politicians while you're at it. And now, because you're a prisoner,

you don't have to pay any more income taxes.

Is this a great country or what?

Now that we've solved your senior financial planning, enjoy your week ..

Problem for me Malcolm is who to shoot....  why travel to Westminster when I could get just as much pleasure going to County Hall at a fraction of the cost?  in fact....    where's that bus pass Lotty? I'm on me way   

[pilgrim]

Malcolm - the other half read this and would like to point out one thing you missed - in prison the food is required to be of a particular standard which is higher than that required in nursing homes!! (double bonus)

..I wonder if GCHQ will have picked up the phrase 'shoot four politicians' -- set your alarm for 3am each day and take the dog for a walk, that way you will be out when they give you a visit at dawn.

Just about on my way to work then pilgrim.........and if I don't do what I do they don't get their.........

Malcolm,

 

Of course, there is an element of that - there has to be - but our algorithm that determines the final results is not as simplistic as this.  Factors such as an 'importance' weight score and others are used.  That's why our overall results are beginning to look quite different to other websites that offer a similar service.

 

Thanks for the interest, anyway. 

 

Regards,

Chris

[pilgrim]

oooo don't do weight scoring or Greggs will never open again!!!! ... Al Murray with a pencil factored in .. where did he come on the poll??

[Malcolm Robinson]

Pilgrim you don't knwo how close you came to being zapped!!!!!! LOL.

[pilgrim]

sorry Malcolm - it was the voices that made me type that......

[Maggie/915]

It seems UKIP were out in force outside a Pub Landlord Gig, trying to persuade the audience.

Maybe there really is no bad publicity .

Turning a negative to a positive or could it be a positive to a negative.

[pilgrim]

I seem to recall that a positive and a negative cancel each other out ( I remember that from Star Trek ) leaving you with nothing. 'Its life, Jim, but not as we know it'.

maybe graphene is the way forward -- I would rather smear that on my face than the other forms of the most basic atom (this is getting very surreal)
