(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Seeing as there's a thread for the US Democrat & Republican parties... I thought it would be a good idea to make a politics related thread for here in the UK. I thought having 1 thread would increase the debates and discussion.

So yeah, talk about it here.

If you don't know much about UK politics, we currently have a coalition government between the Tories & the Lib Dems (Tories didn't get the majority of votes). The four main parties are:

Conservatives - British Conservatism, British Unionism, Eurosceptism -You must login or register to view this content.

Labour - Democratic Socialism, Support the working class -You must login or register to view this content.

Liberal Democrat - Social & Green Liberalism, Internationalism, Social Democracy, Left Libertarianism -You must login or register to view this content.

UKIP - Eurosceptism, Libertarianism, Traditional Conservatism - You must login or register to view this content.

There's also parties such as BNP who are right wing, BNP in particular are very anti-immigration, SNP & Plaid Cymru who focus on independence for their constituent countries, as well as other parties such as the Green party who support British Republicanism

...do you even know what being in the EU entails or what negative effect it has on our country? I ask because most people who spout this don't and are just repeating what the Daily Mail and The Sun have been telling them.

EU not the problem is lazy MEP's
Which sadly UKIP are part of the problem in that respect.

Was she good ?
I couldn't tell you so you tell me

UKIP MEPs are basically there to try and pull us out aha, and give us a few laughs on YouTube.

Still love some of the videos on YT due to it, so funny. Sort of worrying lol

This is really short,

They can pay millions for a funeral of Margaret Thatcher's


And then they wonder where all the money is going ..

UKIP makes significant gains at the local elections and came second gains-wise behind Labour! Lib Dems and Tories suffer losses.

Could have been worse for the lib dems. Labour sort of did not get much from it UKIP did. Low turn out also at the 30% mark.

Yeah, Lib Dems expected much higher losses, but they were clever and kept loyal voters in a lot of their areas.

I've been edging more and more towards UKIP lately, they're interesting. They seem to speak their mind more than the other parties which is something the British public like. I'm worried that a lot of the younger people only call UKIP racist because that's what the media and society have made them about to be.

I'm still don't completely agree with them but they'll probably sort themselves out a bit more from now until 2015. It's still nice to see a new party making things more interesting, despite them not necessarily being that new aha!
