 | Just thinking... does anyone else always feel noticeably less well informed when its election time? I've never been
 so puzzled as to whats going on cause they propaganded me so
 hard. They spend so much time banging on about really
 irrelevant stuff, particularly all these seemingly
 hard-hitting but actually extremely short term/inefectual
 solutions to MRSA.
 
 Anyway my home constinuency went Conservative again with a
 few percent increase as well.

 | yeah it's all bollocks. i've been (un)lucky enough to be able to sit watching the television constantly over the past
 month. they say pretty words but it'a all meaningless
 soundbites and empty promises. there will be no change, and
 i don't think that was ever in any doubt.

 | i've ignored all campaigning by any party, ( has been easy as i've given up t.v - except for this circumstance watching
 the results) and have ignored all leaflets and canvassing.
 unfortunatley if you wanna cut out all the crap, you gotta
 find things out yourself.

 | And yes limiting higher education to the top 20% will do wonders for your economy by
 
 neatly seperating out the poor and minorities that go to the
 
 shittest schools under the most deplorable conditions.
 
 Which part of the statement,
 
 "You would naturally offer slight
 balancing for those from deprived backgrounds (in the same
 manner that oxbridge colleges currently do)."
 
 did you fail to grasp? Are you one of these tedious people
 who intentionally 'misunderstand' people, or do you just
 skim read other people's posts without actually taking in
 the meaning and then say something that makes no sense/has
 already been covered? If you work/study, I pity anyone who
 has to have meetings with you.
 
 Also, as I've already mentioned with regard to withdrawal
 from the EU, it has nothing to do with education. My biggest
 gripe is that another country can change our law, without
 consulting us (yes, I used to believe that was a reactionary
 exaggeration too, until I actually studied EU). Worth noting
 that when the original countries signed up, this was never
 mentioned and it was only due to some rather sick case law
 in Holland that it actually became precedent.
 
 Now 'they' can overrule our democratically elected
 government, not only on things they should debateably be
 able to, like human rights violations (which, in the UK is
 largely uneccessary anyway), but things that are none of
 their business/do not affect them.
 
 Re: Election results. Well, as I predicted, labour got in.
 Thankfully, a reduced majority, so perhaps Labour will stop
 taking the piss to the same degree they have been, for fear
 of being ousted next time round.

 | So can anyone clarify what the upcoming referendum on the EU is about? Will it be about leaving the EU?
 
 If so i had better leave as soon as possible.

 | Don't worry, it doesn't matter what we say, they'll do what they want (as it's labour, stay in). The only sort of
 refurendum that matters is a binding one: one that
 they have to do as the voters say. Any other sort (as this
 is highly likely to be) would be little more than an opinion
 poll and an illusion of some say for the man in the street.
 
 One of the BNP's good policies is that of binding
 referendums. Shame I disagree with some of their other
 policies...
 
 A lot of liberal people are under the illusion that
 membership the EU somehow makes for a more liberal approach
 to law, etc. This is not the case.
 
 Have a gander at this: EU Constitution Revision.
 
 The only reason I can see for this is that typically the
 left parties want to stay in, the right parties want to
 withdraw. To associate continued membership as favourable to
 the left's interests is unwise.

 | My main concern is the freedom that i have to live and work in any country within the eu. This is the basis of a
 longterm plan. I would feel cheated if i had that oppotunity
 taken away from me.

 | I reluctantly voted Labour yesterday. I mean they have done some good.
 
 Here's why:
 
 The Iraq War- 100,000 people dead!
 
 PHI- Yes, any public service left, we'll privatise it and
 call it Modernisation. School canteens sponsored by Pepsi,
 profit driven private health companies being integrated into
 the NHS resulting in the closure of city centre hospitals in
 cost cutting drives.
 
 More privatisation! buses, trains, you name it!
 
 Did I mention privatisation?
 
 Britain Forward Not Back.
 
 Still, better than the Tories, dear God.
