IMO the reason some people feel disenfranchised by politics is precisely because of the elitest Nottinghill middle class careerists - Milliband, Balls etc and the way that all the main parties are so central in their politics. By voting YES to AV it would make the situation worse because it would mean that the likelihood of coalitions increases with the Lib Dems yo yoing between a Labour and Tory coalition. I don't want this. I want a majority Tory government and I think most Labour supporters want a majority Labour government. At least under these circumstances the electorate has the opportunity to change the nations direction, but if the vote to AV is YES the electorate will be stuck with a wishy washy system that results in horse trading and back room deals.

What does the 3rd S in USSR stand for?

It's critical to the whole debate because it's the Liberal Elite of the Labour Party - Milliband, Balls etc - and the Lib-Dems that want AV. And if they want it then it's reasonable to suggest that they want it to further their elitist PC aspirations. For that reason if you're in favour of freedom and are sick and tired of nanny state PC doctrine then you vote NO to what they want.

It's the big brother Labour Party that is more Elitest than the LibDems. We all know that Socialism and Communism are closely alligned in that both concepts are all about state control, but New Labour took this control to a level we hadn't seen in this country. The new Nottinghill generation - Balls, Milliband etc are far worse than the old Labour Party.

I'd be outraged by this. Especially if he didn't offer me some.

The worst form of bigotry today is the liberal elite's view of the working classes as a mongrel race of slothful drones We often hear of self-loathing Jews, but what about self-loathing proles – working-class people who look back with contempt at the communities they had the misfortune to grow up in? There’s a very good example of it in today’s Guardian, in this column by Lynsey Hanley, a woman who has made a writing career on the back of the fact that she grew up on a council estate. (It is testament to the middle classes’ continuing colonisation of the media that Ms Hanley can be treated as a curious novelty by Granta and the Guardian, almost as a messenger from some distant, dark planet, simply because she once lived in social housing.) Ms Hanley writes of the “terrible ignorance” of the community she used to live in, prior to her moral and mental rescue by “metropolitan elite liberal values”. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100084500/the-worst-form-of-bigotry-today-is-the-liberal-elites-view-of-the-working-classes-as-a-mongrel-race-of-slothful-drones/

Some of Prince Phillips comments: To a British student in China: "If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes." To a British student in Papua New Guinea: "You managed not to get eaten then?" To a British tourist in Hungary: "You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly." To a Scottish driving instructor: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" To Australian Aborigines: "Do you still throw spears at each other?"

And it's so typical of the holier than Liberal elite to label anyone that stands in their way as racists and bigots. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz. These tired remarks are so predictable, but thankfully because they're trotted out so often they no longer have the deserired effect. The days when the PC brigade ruled are dieing now that we have a Conservative government that has distagmatised talking about issues that the Liberal Elite tried their hardest to supress.

Of course it won't. The Liberal elite hate democracy when it doesn't deliver the result they want. The EU is exactly the same.

I think i'll pass on that, but thanks for the invite all the same.

At least Lord Glasman let the cat out of the bag... ‘Their commitment to various civil rights, anti-racism, meant that often working-class voters... were seen as racist, resistant to change, homophobic and generally reactionary. ‘So in many ways you had a terrible situation where a Labour government was hostile to the English working class' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1377477/Ed-Miliband-ally-attacks-Labour-migration-lies.html#ixzz1KiZ5FPHD

The dark days when DSM was a mod. Thankfully Boj has now stamped his authority over his minions and the forum is a lot better now.

- Webbed feet.

what?

The electorate were stupid enough to vote in a Labour government for 13 years.

You just have to read the posts from the holier than thou liberal elite on here to be not at all shocked by this story. Thankfully we now have a Conservative government and some sanity is returning to the country.

lol.

A dossier published by the Labour ‘No to AV’ group claims the system would seriously damage the party’s electoral chances. It suggests that AV would have cost Labour 20 seats last May and given the Lib Dems 32 more. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1380912/Labour-war-AV-Big-beasts-turn-Mandy-backing-Yes-campaign-kick-Cameron.html#ixzz1Kholea2d

Same here.

I bet you're a right laugh.

My view hasn't changed. I liked what I saw at the start.

Don't forget that 5th May isn't just about the AV referendum.

I remember him from the Dell. He reminded me of Blakey from on the buses. A proper character who never seemed to age as I can ever remember him looking young. RIP Jack.

The student vote is irrelevent. Most of them won't get out of bed to vote.
