Cannot think of a more perfect Tw*t to take the can when the pack of cards comes crashing down. Typical Labour, and sure the new PM will be keeping him on a very very short leash.

SarahBell Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 GB doesn't need one. He's written the budget with so many delayed things in that there's not much to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahBell Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Is the only way to have a real say is to join the labour party and go to meetings and get it discussed and bought up as policy? If everyone did that (yuck it'd boost their numbers) but it'd get to be heard more by people almost in a position to do something about it.

Yes maybe change from within could work to an extent - We'd just all need to join the party in Government then change to a new party when a new one gets elected! When you hear a twit of a politician spouting you tend to wonder how the heck they get to impose their point of view on the rest of us! Of course it's just because they belong to and are favoured by a political party who then have access to the media One problem seems to be that politics is to a large extent based on the ability to be stubborn or have the 'gift of the gab' which can lead to presentation winning over content You probably stand more chance of changing things by forming a pressure group within a party than thru the ballot box but I doubt if enough people such as priced out ftb's really have the drive to join a political party and become active and try to change things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
