If we think about it, all of us have foreign ancestry, even those who came here thousands of years ago...... And many of us who still live (or who, as in my case, have returned to live) in the Mother Country have traceable roots elsewhere. In my case 13th Century Brittany. Does that make me some kind of undesirable European and unable to vote let alone stand for Parliament in the UK? No. We forgive most sins with time. And given the option of a local candidate the Monster Raving Loony party manifesto doesn't necessarily make for wasted reading. Other opinions may be available.

RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted December 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well, no MRLP up here (Gateshead) but in the nearby Blaydon constituency, Lisabela Marschild is standing for the Space Navies Party. No idea what their manifesto is, though. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 One of several parties proposing more direct democratic systems. The technology to implement this is - excitingly - now available, but the optimates are way better organised to defend the typical 'universal adult franchise plural polity democratic system' status quo. Which is the worst system of government ever devised, excepting all the other ones... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Popular Post AY Mod Posted December 9, 2019 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 Pah, at least I don't try offering bizarre donations to political parties unlike some. Anyway, if I get into real power on Friday some of you lot best watch out. I've already earmarked someone for their extreme anti-establishment rantings for the guillotine. Yes, I'm bringing back the birch for people who I think need to get a grip on themselves and reality, the stocks for those who keep banging on that manufacturers don't make what they think they should and erecting the gallows for those who start gauge wars.

I'm sure he couldn't be any worse than their current MP! There doesn't seem to be any minority candidates standing in my constituency at this election. The only loony no-hopers that I could waste my vote on would be the Conservative, Labour and Green party candidates! None of them have been doing any campaigning locally, because none have any prospect of being elected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kingzance Posted December 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2019 PMAYMod (Peamaymod has a certain ring to it, don’t you think) will struggle to rule over such a disparate bunch as RMWebbers by his own admission. Just how he will cope on Friday 13th trying to run any semblance of a rail service when the fighting between electric, diesel and steam factions with the broad, standard and narrow clans amongst each breaks out into open warfare I do wonder. How will we all get to Whitehall to be given our portfolios in such circumstances? Lesson 1 in politics is that peamaymod won’t please all the people all the time. I anticipate things will get worse before they get better or “the flogging will continue until moral improves”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single time he voted the government got in. In Australia, the seat of Eden-Monaro was known as being a 'Bellwether' seat. From 1972-2013, it was always a government seat, which meant it changed parties several times. Also all MP's in that period lost their seat at the election, meaning none retired or resigned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_Eden-Monaro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
