General Chat

After the first war the German people were uneasy because they had been landed with reparation which would have kept them in debt for seventy odd years. They did have a particularly fair government with proportional representation which would have almost guaranteed a stable country had they not been uneasy.

The new National Socialist party focussed particularly upon that unease and built upon it.

Please be careful.

Farrage has already said that he won't form an alliance with the French National Front, thank goodness. Now they are scary!

As at least 75% of the Europe wide votes went to non-Euro-septic parties, not a lot will change. However, the results have made the individual democratically elected national governments realise that not everyone agrees with all of the EU policies which effect their daily lives.

None of our 3 main parties will consider a conciliation with Ukip. Thankfully they are unlikely to have enough MPs to form a Government.........as long as the main parties have a serious think!

I agree with +++DetEcTive+++ that in the last General Election voters who were disillusioned with Labour and Conservatives voted for the Liberal Democrats.

In the recent European & Local Elections, voters who were disillusioned with the current government's policies and the opposition's policies, voted for UKIP, and Europe was not the only reason they did this.

The trouble with politics today is that politicians, from all three of the main parties, Conservative, Labour, and Liberal Democrats, have managed to change the role of a politician, from politicians being there to serve the people - to the people being there to serve politicians :-S a situation that has to be reversed, alas I don't see that happening when I look at the current options on the menu :-(
