Had a very interesting argument with a local labour cooncilor on Ashington high Street about MR LAVERY. Pointed out to him, Convicted football hooligan, no respect for police(due to football hooliganism charge) also his denouncement of the Labour party! His reply 'Well he was only a young boy at the time we all make mistakes! He was 21 at the time. Does a convicted murderer or a convicted paedophile get a chance to stand for parliament because 'He was only a young boy at the time' and we all make mistakes. Cooncilors reply was 'No comment' I wonder if John Venables stood for parliament how many votes he would get, I mean he was just a young boy at the time and after all we all make mistakes!!!!! Don't We! Oh and by the way Ian I hope you enjoyed your party because it will be your LAST, at least at the expense of the local working man who you supposedly stand for YOU !*!@# (*&&^%£%(_&*&%^$^*(()^%$%$&*()(^$&%^£%*&+__)&*()&*(%&%^£^"&^%*()_*(^&££&^(&^&%^&^(&^$&^%^*&%^%$&*&*(%$&&*_+_(*$£&*&)*%$"£$&*)_))%$""£%^&*(*($£$&*(()*$%$"£&*()*%^%$%$&**(&*&^$%$((&$$%&&^%&%&^&*%&*(*%$$*_)_+_+%£""$&**( WIT :lol:

Why not just get rid of political parties and vote for people who you believe are up to the job instead of ones because they wear the right coloured rosette?

With thanks to the BBC. What are the electoral alternatives being discussed? 1. Additional member system 2. Alternative vote 3. Single transferrable vote 4. Proportional representation. Additional member system: In this system, people get one vote for a constituency representative and one vote for a representative from a larger area such as a county or region. Alternative vote: Voters rank the candidates. If no candidate has 50% of first preferences then second preferences are counted and so on until someone has a majority. Single transferrable vote: Several constituencies are combined and voters rank the candidates. Members are elected once they pass a certain number of votes, known as a quota. Proportional representation: Everyone has a single vote. Each party has a list of candidates and the number of them elected depends on the number of votes the party gets nationwide. So everyone clear now................

Look! Clegg is the man in power at the moment. Cons and Labour will bend over backwards to give him anything he wants to get a majority to stay in power or to gain power. What a position to be in! Write your own cheque scenario. Don't do what I want.Then I'll go to the other side. Ha Ha get out of this one Brown and Cameron! Lib Dems Rool Ok. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic,you couldn't make this up in your dreams. The looks on their faces was class, absolute class, they haven't a clue what to do. You know what? Who at this minute gives a Damn? Date for next General ERECTION any body :lol:
