    You've gone down in my ITK rankings. How the hell can a source fuck up spelling McCallum so badly?

    All those things you mention were only let through because the metrics told them it was just too unpopular. Gay marriage was opposed by them for years, people like Hunt have been arguing for a US based healthcare system for years and have snuck privatisation in everywhere - it's just they know...

    What stops people committing crime in the first place? A society that has a more equal distribution of wages as well as fairer access to decent education and removal of economic barriers like class. Secondly access to services such as mental health so issues can be caught before they become a...

    But there the lack of deterrent is not not going to prison, it's that it's not likely to get investigated at all. We've had prison for more than donkey's years and it hasn't stopped re-offending either. Whereas other countries not that far from here take a completely different view and their...

    Because prisons aren't shown to be much of a deterrent and leads to a high percentage of reoffending. In some cases prisons are basically seen as criminal gang recruitment centres. People who get drawn further and further into that world for what started out as minor offences. Things like...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    For me I don't think I'd want the entire thing to be PR, but at the same time I think it needs to be reflected somewhere in the govt. I'm no fan of transferable voting as it just seems everyone ends up with someone they didn't really want. Hence why I like FPTP for constituency MP's and PR for a...

    I thought it was more a comment on her political position. Enoch but worse.

    But it can be looked at differently. I've already had a few people say "well they only won four seats so we don't need to worry about them'. And that's what increases their popularity until all of sudden they ARE getting elected and you're left wondering "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!" It's a warning...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Especially as politicians seem to spend loads of time in their subsidised bars. On a similar note I once had a boss who went golfing pretty much every day. But hey, that's fine. He's 'networking'.

    The thing with Reform was none of their immigration policy made any sense as a joined up coherent strategy. Even if we ignore the fact they were going to exclude the biggest reason for immigration (health and social care workers) and basically 'stop the boats;, which accounts for something like...

    Well ,considering the Spectator (a very Tory sympathising publication)said that using the criteria/assumptions Sunak was to say Labour would put up taxes, the Tories would have gone up even more. So you should be happy that your taxes aren't going up more under a Tory govt. And if you want...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Because we're now seeing a huge increase in older people who need looking after. Very few homegrown people want to do this sort of work, and certainly for the wages on offer, having been constantly told that they should be looking to work in things like finance and make loads of money as that's...

    It provides more into the economy than it takes out. It provides a workforce for our health and social care sector which would be on its knees otherwise. That's two,

    But when you grew up you could work for a half decent wage in a job that provied security and gave you enough money to look to the future - own property etc. Now jobs are short-term, insecure, low-skilled drudgery with poor wages that offer you no sense of improvement for the future, and that's...

    General election poll

    Pretty happy with my prediction. Only main failure was not getting just how much the SNP would lose. Take that difference, add it to the LD's (who I though would be their main challenger) and I'm not far off.
