That's It, I'm Voting Socialist Labour Party...

[Svejk]

Their spokesman just said, on The Daily Politics, they're going to confiscate private pensions and give every pensioner £280 pw.

[Svejk]

Suits me, I spent all my money on beer, slow horses and fast women.

[naomi24]

Well, they'll get one vote at least so not a complete disaster. ;o)

[Svejk]

Well, if anyone else likes the sound of it you can wade through this;

[DaisyNonna]

Do you believe statements put out by any party?

[Svejk]

He sounded very earnest, daisy. Fair shares for all, brothers (and sisters)

[naomi24]

Fair shares of everyone else's savings. What a good idea! Let's all stop saving for our old age!!

[trt]

I never believe any Politicians whatever they say, coming up to an election.

In fact not at any time, just look at the last 15 years, and what they got up to to fill their pockets, swindles, affairs, free holidays and liars.

As for the posters statement, it will never happen.

[Svejk]

Nobody would need to save which would stimulate the economy. Pension Funds control 3.5 trillion pounds which would generate £280 pw per pensioner, hopefully, in perpetuity.
Ps. Don't shoot me. I'm just a messenger.

I wouldn't shoot you mate but I expect a few ex NUM members would like to shoot the leader of the SLP. Says it all really.

[Svejk]

Joking aside, I think left-wing people should have a 'proper' left-wing party to represent them.
In the way that conservatives have UKIP now.

[mazie]

I'm voting for this lot :o)

Well as an aside I had no idea Arthur Scargill was still alive

[Svejk]

As long as you don't kermit voter fraud, mazie.

[mazie]

Is the Monster Raving Looney Party putting-up candidates for this election.? I think it is, or was, a very astute organisation. :-)

I recall when one of its candidates was asked on the radio what was his reaction to the polls. His reply was to the effect that he had nothing against them but they should stay in their own country.

Hans.

[anneasquith]

S,don't you mean, fast horses and slow women ? :)

[AB Editor]

That's a good read! It includes the phrase:

"We must re-establish a British motor car industry with a Socialist perspective."

That's the bus isn't ?

[Prudie]

surely that means a return to car workers who are always on strike?

[Zacs-Master]

"Our Party’s policies do not seek to ameliorate the austerity caused by the capitalist system"

I think they probably lost most of their target audience with the 8th word.
