A new political party is wanted
Discussion
The election is nearing and there is no party worth voting for! We have a so called politically correct government who tax us more for less! Their foriegn policy is based on proping up American foriegn policy. The official opposition is weak and does not hold much cred. The wishy, washy Liberals want to tax us more than New Labour!
How about a Countryside Party?
British interests abroad and American ones!
Tax cuts for small business.
Sensible road policies! No buslanes on motorways, no cameras, and a better road structure.
Rid of all PC bureaucrats!
The unfreezing of the 1973 cut off for classic exempt cars as introduced by Ken Clark.
National service for the long term unemployed.
Tax on incoming phonecalls from Indian call centres. Take me too long to explain; but it would work.
A new party is needed! Join the fight to get Blair Out!

How about a PH party?
* Minimal tax on super unleaded, no tax on Optimax
* RFL based on BHP output of car, the more BHP the less tax you pay
* A penalty of death for anyone installing speed humps
* Ultra fast lanes on motorways, dyno chit required for entry
* Subsidies for British car manufacturers, TVR, Caterham, Noble etc
* Massive import duty payable on dull euroboxes
* Public stocks for car thieves / vandals / general chavs
I'd vote for it.

I'm seriously thinking of taking over as Dictator.
Any ideas where I can find an army....?
David Stirling was planning to take over this country by force during the winter of discontent. The plan failed when Stirling suffered a stroke. When the BBC ran the series Great Britons; I believe Stirling should have won it. However I have no faith in any party in the current political field.
Old Labour : Socialist dinosaurs
New Labour : Two faced liers (labour is all the same!)
Conservative : Should have chosen Ken Clark as leader
UKIP: Not to be trusted and is not the answer
Liberals : Worse than New Labour
Nationalists : waste of time; just more socialists who are power crazy!
The only Party who seem to care about what most sensible want in the country are the Official Ulster Unonists!
However a car friendly countryside party would be a winner!
Foriegn Policy would be based on British interests. The overthrow of Mugabe and that place with its own supply that Mark Thatcher was interested in. Infact Mark was right to do what he did. The oil there would be far better used to fund cheaper fuel here than lining the pockets of some tinpot dictator! Our troops should be pulled out of Iraq and deployed in Africa to gain wealth for our country and the USA.

your not suggesting England return to its evil imperialist ways are you? You'll be SHOT for that!
Need a policy that promotes using brain work.
Qualified engineers should get better rewarded- in terms of pay and conditions. The way it is now, everyone I know seems to be trying to emigrate.
Need polices that are pro individualistic, pro freedom and based on a meritocracy.
Striving to achieve more in life shouldn't be faced with bitterness and hatred, but should be actively encouraged the way it is in America.
Need to get rid of this drive toward mediocratity [sp?} we currently have.

You need a catchier name.
How about capital punishment for kiddie fiddlers?
Gazboy,
Come up with a good name and you can run the home office. Dealing with sex offenders is just another thing previous governments have neglected. DNA evidence has come a long way since the abolition of hanging. The best way of dealing with the sex offeders is capital punishment.

I think we should start putting Britain first! I also think had Simon Mann succeeded; we would all be calling him a hero!
I've got one, it's called the Common Sense Party. It will be a breath of fresh in politics. There will be no spin doctors employed, the leader of the CS party will simply stand up and say to the electorate "Here's what we're we're trying to achieve and here's how we're doing - take it or leave it".
The CS party would sit fairly central in the political spectrum so it could pick up disgruntled voters from both sides and leave the radicals marginalised where they should be. In truth, it will be slightly to the right of centre, as it will be a low(er) tax but efficient government. I'd love to see someone accept they made a mistake, missed their target, we all do it. Spend less time convincing us you're doing a good job and actually concentrate on a doing a good job and the results will come. Maybe that's a function of the four year election cycle. Perhaps there's some mileage in this dictatorship idea after all...
I know it's only a pipe dream but I'd love to see a party that stood for transparancy in the workings of government but I fear things have gone too far for that ever to happen, and politics simply attracts the wrong kind of characters. The majority of businesses are run far more efficiently than any level of government I've been exposed to and that's often not saying much.
As an aside,anybody else had their politics shifted to the right since becoming a regular PH'er?

I don't know about since being a pH member, I only know I was brought up quite left wing, but as I grew older, having to put up with "friends" who would do fraudulent dole claims- who'd steal of their friends, and other lazy no good folk I gradually started to change my view.
Traditional right and left wing definitions are so narrow.
I'd prefer to think of myself as Pro individual and pro a proper meritocracy. But also a libertarian rather then an authoritarian.

Sometimes I'm left, sometimes I'm right.
Same as me, I think maybe that my shift from left of centre to right of centre coincided with becoming a tax payer as a opposed to an idealistic student. PH was also discovered shortly after starting work so maybe that's the link!
I guess the problem with picking policies from the left and right and labelling them as 'Common Sense' would only ever work for me... hence the need for a dictatorship
How about the 'Chav re-education party'?
Chavs would be allocated to decent people to perform menial tasks, cost to said decent person say a tenner a week, which goes to the chavs bed and board in an isolation camp. Presto, more spare time for the productive element of society to further the nation!
Defnition of a chav shall be at the arbitrary decision of the prime minister(ie me), and shock collars will be fitted to all chavs before being allowed into decent peoples homes. [EvilLunatic]It will be glorious![/EvilLunatic]

The problem is, people are disgruntled and instead of doing anything about it, have decided to introvert and concentrate on their own lives, hence voter apathy. Blair will get in with a much reduced majority, if I focus on me, I will not be aware that my nation is getting it up the arse.
My vote is one which will be against him, but it won't stop the opposition getting their noses rubbed in it/leadership struggles etc, come election time.
Conservatives will be in a mess. Blair will say "Im a kunt, it's all my fault, Iraq, CSA, Foxhunting, I'm off to the USA to make $$$$, here's your new President, Gordon Brown" There will be much rejoicing, apart from Britains sphincter, which will be bleeding.
