New political party

In my constituency, anyway.

Not sure why they say I only get to vote once every four years. It's five years since the last General Election. And this confuses me...

We Stand For The System That Will Radically Change Politics
We Have No Political Agenda

The leaflet came through the letter box today - yellow text on a purple background.

I don't think so.

Here is one interesting idea.

Finance

We can get out of the current financial mess
Q2) Should we print more money equally in every country to get out of the financial mess we are all facing in all countries today?

Points raised were:

It should first be established which country is in the worst position e.g. If America, were in £1 billion debt, then every country worldwide would have a unilateral agreement to print that same amount of money in their own currency, which would then stay with that Government.
Countries with leadership problems would have to be monitored.

The obvious advantages are:

Responsibilities towards global warming could be swiftly addressed.There would be more work and business for everyone to chase.
• It would stop the impending years of recession and depression.
• Third-world countries could develop their own infrastructure.
• Indirect and stealth tax by Governments would not be necessary.
• World markets will not change as all countries have been given the same.
• There would be a first-rate gain. NO ONE LOSES.
•
• Employment and businesses will automatically flourish.
• The fictitious money that we all have “enjoyed” living on will become a reality.
• This idea will enable Governments to fund pensions, health care and education from a strong financial basis.

Lost deposit??

Yesterday evening I did something I've never done before; went to a hustings with all of the parliamentary candidates for my constituency. We too had the statutory nutter with bizarre ideas, an independent with "lost deposit" written all over him - I wonder why such people bother? Perhaps it's their moment of glory in the spotlight.

Each candidate was given a couple of minutes to make their pitch, followed by taking it in turn to answer questions previously sent in. It was an interesting evening, but I have to say that if I had been interviewing that bunch for a £65,000 p.a. job, I would have readvertised...

Yes, my local hustings meeting had a raving nutter candidate shouting about smashing trade unions being the most important policy, and saying "innit" as the last word of every sentence. Unfortunately he is the Labour candidate and has a good chance of winning. We also have an official Monster Raving Loony candidate who is far more sensible.
