Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Sep 2020 12.17am) well spotted on his crappy grammar Mr Sterling me auld drum-banger. it should say.... Iolar Na h-Eireann ( the eagle of ireland or the irish eagle ). Which uses the grammatical form known as An Tuiseal Gineadach.

No, I don't and I never have. I vote in what I believe to be the national interest. That's what every responsible citizen does and, as your question indicates you don't, your own selfishness is laid bare. Do you belief Somalis,pakistanis and Congolese (as a typical London sample) vote in the same national interest? If so, which nations interest do you think they are voting for?

Anyone, whatever their country of birth, who hold British citizenship are irresponsible if when they vote in a UK GE they don't put the British national interest first. Those who acquire citizenship are required to sware allegiance to Queen and country before it is granted. Non citizens, with limited exceptions, cannot vote.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

So a middle class voter wants lower taxes he is a selfish bar steward but a non worker on benefits who votes Corbyn is doing it for the good of the country.
All of the major parties have fairly moderate policies even Labour will say they would welcome tax cuts if the country could afford it but the priority is health, education etc. Can you tell me that someone not working and on benefits votes Labour because they believe it is for the benefit of the country and not for their own selfish reasons?

Edited by Badger11 (21 Sep 2020 8.55am) The original accusation was about how I vote and I responded to say, quite truthfully, that I always think of the national interest which is what I believe we all must do. That many don't, from both sides of the political divide, is indisputable, but that doesn't mean it is responsible behaviour.

I enjoyed the video clip below that the morning shows have ignored of Democrats in 2016 demanding Trump fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court quickly as it is not democratic to leave it open. Hmmmm

Edited by Badger11 (21 Sep 2020 8.55am) My take on this country. You are born wanting to put the world to rights and have a tendency to lean to the left. It doesn't take long to realise that the only way you are going to see much of your hard earned money is to lean to the right. It really is an easy decision. Anyone who doesn't vote with themselves in mind is a fool, or has so much money that it doesn't matter either way. It's easy to be a philanthropist though if you have millions, just ask Abromovich's Jewish mates.

It's about where that bit you dont see goes and gets used for. I've got no problem if it goes to a useful cause. I know some has to go to the feckless etc but under labour it's a load of it for votes. I also have an issue about state services pleading poverty 24/7, then wasting so much on s***e and filling up offices with management and bins with perfectly usable equipment and associated stuff.

I will put the caveat that it is a bit HMG inflicted with the way budgets are calculated.
