You did not state that until you needed to bolster your argument further on in the thread.

The thread title was about Left & Right wing, but has manifested itself into something connected with it, but not actually directly about it.

I have stated that a vote for Labour or Conservative, is not a wasted vote in the next election.

I have stated that "seats" are a part of the voting system, but make no difference when it comes to those who rule the country.

The extreme Left wingers exist in the Labour party and even though the majority are on the Right, the end justifies the means, no matter who is part of the teamwork.

I added "seats" to the argument, as it was worth adding.

"Keith Vaz's only fan????"

That has to be the biggest laugh

I can certainly say, that Keith Vaz has a massive fanbase.

Anyone can also like a politician in an opposing party and admire them, which is NOT what I am saying.

What I am saying, is, that there is positives as well as negatives in regards to that politician, and I am not saying that I personally like him especially, but certainly point him out.

"I have stated that a vote for Labour or Conservative, is not a wasted vote in the next election."

As only one can win (unless we have a coalition) then like the liberal vote, if you vote for any other losing party it is a wasted vote with your thinking. so your above statement falls on it's arse.

My above statement is true.

My way of thinking is in relation to a vote in the right direction.

If you play Roulette, it is safer to bet on Red or Black.

There is a "0", but that goes to the banker.

But Politics is much more complicated, but the end justifies the means. Gordon Brown & David Cameron are very sure of the two options.

I am thinking on their lines

A vote for new Labour is in effect a vote for "Old Tory". Pre 1980's........We don't have a Labour Government. Our Choice is "New Tory called new Labour" or "New right wing conservatives as propogated by Thatcher".....

Bottom line is from a political perspective the choice is Right wing tory under Labour or even more right wing under Cameron...

The Lib party for what they are worth are clones of old labour and as such will remain unelectable....

[rex3]

im the body of the bird, neither right or left wing. All I wanna see is less frigen wars, less monaplization of poorer people in and out of the country. And not a pontamine of Poletians yelling left or right.


your all getting dragged in, the fake craze of being left or right, the media keeping alive terms like right and left wing, just want you to forget about what is actually going on. and how zionism effects the whole world....

[Jack]

I think I'm more right wing and quite old fashioned in my views.

[secrets]

is,nt this government all champagne socialists.?

that way you can be as left as you like but live a life of obscene excess.............but not for us mere mortals.

I forgot about this thread.

So the LibDems vote is a wasted vote.

Ealing Southhall by-election June 2007.

Labour hold. Lib Dem second. Conservative third.

Out of 85,262 possible voters 36,618 people voted. Labour beat the Lib dems by 5070 votes polling 15,188 votes. Thats 17.81% of the total electorate.


Sedgefield by-election June 2007

Labour hold. Lib Dem second. Conservative third.

Out of 67,314 possible voters 27,962 people voted. Labour beat Lib Dem by 6959 votes polling 12,528 votes. Thats 18.61% of the total electorate.

Ok, Labour won both, but with less than one fifth of the total available vote.

Now, how many of the people who did vote voted for labour/conservative as a negative vote to stop the other getting in, rather than voting for Lib Dem as it is deemed by some as a wasted vote. We will never know but the cold facts are that the Lib Dems are the second party in these areas. There is no reason this could not be converted to a national level.

"Seats", yes we know

The house of commons has an area especially for the Liberal Democrats, we all know that.

But, the Labour Government are first, the Conservative's are second and the Liberal Democrats are third.

The Liberal's are going to stay third and the battle for Government/Leadership is a two horse race which will continue that way.

I appreciate about a minority amount of areas in the country who do win seats, but it just ain't good enough, is it....

Anyway, this thread is about (Are you on the Left or the Right?) The Labour Government is split and extremists on one side in particular, especially Socialists, with certain views, who go down another path, Gordon Brown doesn't strike me as a Left winger?

No Comment from the "right" side of the tory camp

Old Labour were known as more-to-the-left, and socialism was more their style, but Tony Blair and today Gordon Brown is nothing like Old Labour. It is New Labour, with NEW ways, but amongst the party, there are politicians who have the views of Tony Benn and we know where he stands, don't we

Not interested in the Tory's and extremists on their side. This debate is controlled and manipulated by the author

I know you don't want to discuss right wing extremists

You seem to want to keep quiet about them and concentrate on left wing extremists.

I have noticed in my experience that its a well worn method of extremists, and those who share their views but are too gutless to actually stand up and speak the courage of their so called convictions, to attempt to concentrate the spotlight on "the other side". To find someone to scapegoat, usually minorites in the case of far right extremists for example.

As for your comment about "manipulation"......



If only you could understand ......

I am talking about "Left Wing Extremists in the Labour Party", "Left wingers, also in the Labour Party". Am I interested in the Conservative Party and their left/right sides? NO......That word has an (N) and an (O) and nothing hidden between, just like ME

Nothing hidden

I am speaking MY mind on this debate, just like yourself, but with a bit more Tact, I might add

Still waiting on a decent response to my opening thread, whereby I asked certain questions and some-how, missed certain things out for a specific reason, which is in relation to the thread title and how I set out this thread with MY rules and regulations

You know me, don't you

I understand "manipulation" and how it is used against ***********, But the Labour party, left-side......Well, I'll let you explain it all and I shall pick at it.............

nodisharmony

the left wing of the labour party, or should I say the far left wing of the labour party, which you seem to wish to concentrate on is a toothless non-entity.

Completely irrelevant in todays world, a bare bones clique living on its past "glories" in the cold war era and of its union backed power stranglehold of the late 60's to late 70's.

On the other hand the far right expremists, of whom you do not wish to speak are a very real threat to the fabric and harmony of our society, especially their aims to foment discord within the inner cities for political gain.

Of course you don't want to speak about them, you say you are "speaking" with "tact". I say you are attempting to divert attention from the far right and opening a debate about the boogeyman of the far left which is a complete irrelevance.

The far right hate minorities, immigration, think immigrants are treated better than "the british"etc etc - I have seen members of the far right express these ideas on various forums, and I have seen other people express the exact same ideas and thoughts on other forums...... havent I ?

Therein lies the rub of your argument. Manipulation of the "discussion" from the relevant to the irrelevant.

How very transparent of you.

As are a lot of people, you are not alone in thinking it. the situation has been componded and created [to its current level] by the insane politically correct policies of Labour. Which, as anyone who reads press releases can fathom are going to be adhered to by the conservatives.

the difference is that despite the patronising stupidity of both Labour and Conservative they don't actually want people being bottled or stabbed or beaten in the street because they are "foreign". Although I suspect it is going to become a more and more frequent news headline.

Whereas our Far Right neighbours see that as a means to an end, and some applaud it and excuse and apologise for it - the far right has plenty of practical professional apologists trolling around the www and coming up with specious excuses why it is excusable to beat on someone because they are not caucasian.
