I like Simon Schama (Starkey is my favourite TV historian though) but wow, he sure does move a lot.

Well like they say, ignorance is bliss.J Tourettes said:
But honestly, I doubt I would have got a high score for BNP - I'm far more liberal on social issues (though I noticed the telegraph didn't ask questions on liberal issues). It is really only my economic individualism that pushes me to the right on these quizzes and relative to my economic view, the BNP are practically Marxists!

Why is it that, both in the UK and Australia, moves are being made to limit internet access and the like, but not in the United States? I have some ideas as to why, but I want to know what others think.

As I'm not British, I couldn't answer some of the questions, most notably the reform of the British political system. But based on more universal issues like international affairs, defense, environment, economy and such, these were my results.

Also, one of the dudes voted against ebill and was quite vocal against it was Tom Watson. Never heard of him before but his performance tonight gives me abit of respect for him.
Absolutely horrible; do politicians really wonder why so many refuse to vote when they pull stuff like this? Not to mention that so few MPs even know the basic consequences of such a bill.J Tourettes said:
On another note, I was kinda surprised with Ming Campbell tonight, he seemed the only one to come out well after that. That audience was pretty poor as well - far too many people making general statements and not asking, you know, questions.

he's also a big supporter of the games industry. his smackdowns of illberal tossers like keith vaz in parliament over gaming violence brings me great joy.

Its a first for my brother and he basicly said
"I dont give a fuck, what have they ever done for me"
Then picked up the leaflets of two of the guys and read through them questioning everything on it
"Two sons and two daughters!? do you know them? I dont. Ever seen this guy before? says hes a football fan? Never seen him at a local game."
It was quite amusing but abit sad aswell.
Not really sure who to vote for tbh.. give me a bullet pointed list for each party :lol

Weird result for me in the Telegraph's thing:
I've accepted the fact that I don't fit neatly into any one party's manifesto, though, so I'm likely to get widely differing results. Very pro-Europe so definitely not a Tory voter, but I agree with the Lib Dems on the majority of things. Nuclear power is one of the few areas where I'm completely the opposite of their policy.
They don't call it the Torygraph for nothing...

According to the Telegraph:
Liberal Democrats: 57%
Scottish National Party: 56%
Labour Party: 54%
Sounds about right.

Do you guys have a Ninja Party?Chinner said:
Edit - Oh, and just because I was curious:
Labor Party: 58%
Liberal Democrats: 52%
Green Party: 40%
I put down "skip" for about a fourth of the questions because I didn't know enough about the issue to have any idea what the fuck they were asking/talking about. No matter where I am, though, reforming the government so that it represents the people as best as it can, and making sure it has the people's best interest as the number one priority, will probably always be my number one issue. If you have that, the rest should follow.

Yup. Two in a rowiapetus said:That's two policy-based polls that give you BNP/UKIP as your party of choice, isn't it? Maybe you just have to accept that you're a closet Nazi.
I answered 'Yes' to 'England should have a separate parliament' but none of the others struck me as especially BNP/UKIP other than 'Should Foreign Born Criminals Be Deported?' to which I answered 'No' because I feel the severity of the crime and time of residence needed defining.
I know I can be a bit 'off' at times but I didn't have myself down as the full-on-foaming-at-the-mouth-Mail-reading-white-van-man. Perhaps I ought to re-consider that Cobweb tattoo on my forehead. Is there an 'Am I a closet Nazi' personality test?

Maybe, just maybe not every Conservative/right wing voter is like that? I think that's the common misconception that the three major parties have/had allowed the BNP to sneak up in support.

I promise not to goose-step around GAF

Neither UKIP nor the BNP will enact any of their policies in actuality. They're useless bunches of people focusing on single interests masquerading as legit parties. In order to flesh out a manifesto beyond "Fuck the UK, Fuck Immigrants, ENGLAND FOREVER!!!" they insert very popular and sensible policies. I wouldn't want them in charge of my country though.Enosh said:so why are you voting lib dem if 2 pools in a row get you BNP and UKIP
do you even agree with any of the lib dem policies, hell do you even know them or are you just doing it beacose it is the cool thing to do :lol
kinda half joking
I'll be voting LibDem simply through a process of elimination. I'm not hot on the Conservatives (old enough to remember last time), Fuck Labour with a sharp stick, they're diametrically opposite to me, The Greens are a non-starter for me and neither UKIP nor the BNP should be in charge of anything more important than checking pay & display car parks for valid tickets. Just leaves me LibDem. I don't find them offensive so they win.
Unless The Monster Raving Loony Party field a candidate in my area.
Edit:
I do actually! I sing in my sleep too. I once confessed to an ex that I was sleeping with someone else (and gave the name) in my sleep. That led to a rude awakening, let me tell you.Salazar said:

Nazi here also.
Even that. And didn't the press [and MPs] misreport the situation as being one of European legislation rather than the faulty British implementation of a directive?iapetus said:
Also, there were existing mechanisms for ensuring linguistic ability and competence at the application stage which should have been followed but weren't.
