All of them are reasonably interesting posters tbh... just becuase you don't agree with them!!!

They prefer the cleaner hair.

China won't support North Korea in any war. It isn't in their interests to be. Also, there is much talk about North Korea dropping a nuclear bomb on South Korea. This would be paramount to bombing themselves, especially if they were to do it on a place like Seoul.

The policy on Asylum Seekers was not 'let them all become citizens'. It was to hand over the decisions of who can stay to an independent body and allow asylum seekers to work rather than just live off the state. Don't see a problem with that? Other than that it was their policies on political reform, economic reform(tax system etc) and then other stuff like tuition fees policy and so on and so forth.

Exactly, as a Liberal Democrat I am not overjoyed at some of the policy coming out of this government and I won't stop arguing where I think they are wrong. However, I prefer this arrangement to a pure Tory government any day of the week.

Remember, even in a one party government there is massive disagreement and compromise. Political parties are all coalitions.

Not what I said. What I said was that the Tories being in office solely on their own (the same for labour) with only just over a third of the votes is ludicrous. That would give them absolute rule of the majority when the majority did not want them. The same would apply for the Liberal Democrats. Coalition is fairer, not perfect, but fairer.

Nope, not at all. The other option would be for the conservatives to have absolute power with that percentage vote. I think it is farcical that Labour had a comfortable majority with 35.2%. It's the tyranny of the plurality.

Yes, they were. 36.1% is hardly a romping endorsement though; neither was Labours 2005 general election 'win'.

I think the last election shows that the conservatives at least at that point were not that popular. I still do not think they are that popular. They won the election on the back of a strong want for change and a large anti Gordon Brown sentiment.

If you have a look at many areas of government policy like the fairness premium, like the prisons policy, part of the policy on banks, AV referendum, the raising of the income tax band etc etc etc you see a big lib dem tint.

Policy. I can see myself in the policy coming out of this government that a lot of it is watered down Tory policy and some parts are very Liberal Democrat.

It will be comforting to many to have confirmation someone is fighting our conner in the coalition. Also, Liberal Democrats hate Rupert Murdoch.

Oh yes, we are angry about that and still are. However, these leaked comments will endear him to many Lib Dems.

I think I agree with you that we will most likely do little about this, at least not until it is too late. However, this does not change the facts. I disagree that it will be forgotten in 10 years time as the effects of it will become much more visible. Climate change is extremely serious. It's sad that it has become second priority to the economic system in the last couple of years. There was a great article in the independent the other day about this and how once the earth ****s up you can't just bail it out. On the issue of global warming, ironically, it could lead to the UK becoming a cooler country.

I should hope though that the majority of people in the army should not care about it. If they can't cope because they have to work with a gay man, sack them. Don't you agree?

Indeed, climate change could involve the ozone layer. That's another thing that annoys me; people that think climate change is just global warming.

Yes, I am VERY sure of this.

I get that, but why should it affect combat effectiveness? I can see why it COULD, but it shouldn't. People should be professional, if they can't do their job effectively because someone they are working with so happens to be gay, they should be sacked.

Good, it doesn't mean they have to come out, but at least if they are out it doesn't mean they also get kicked out. I don't see how being gay affects your performance as a soldier.
