Well said!!
I voted for lib dems in the last election and look where that got me. Am already thinking about who i'd vote for in the next election and i don't have a fooking clue, like you experienced i was hoodwinked in 1997 by the labour party so will not be voting for them again, well at least until they get rid of most of the last lot. I think it's time that a new party was started, the political landscape is begging for it and it would give those lib dems true to their morals another party to defect to.

Another Gang of Four, to start another SDP?
Maybe.

Not a bad shout
Also there should be some sort of test to check whether people entering the party are doing it as career politicians (probably to difficult to find out). If so, they are told to fuck right off. I think most of the probs in the country have been caused by people that just want to get their grubby noses in the tax payers trough not to mention any names....Tony Blair *cough*

True that, but look what's happened 29 years after the first attempt.
Roy Jenkins et al. For more information:

"I think it's time that a new party was started"
Not disagreeing with you, necessarily, but it's that kind of thinking that spawned the Tea Party movement in the States.

Precisely.
We don't need their ideas, just their tactics.

Tea Party
I don't think that the Tea Party is a bad idea in principle. It has just been hijacked by multitudes of people with their own agenda and axes to grind.

Aye.
The trouble with the multitude is, as an entity, they're bloody stupid, and we always end up with the least worst option instead of the best.

I agree, unfortunately the
very people you talk about shout very loudly about what they want, even if it's inane bullcrap. Daily Mail have a fair amount to answer for. I wish we could send these people away for ten years and then invite them back to show them what a great job we have done with the place in thir absence.

But there main goal appears (Boston Tea Party)
to be the interest of big business, this new party should be economy savie but generate the wealth of big business to help out the communities they are based within, just look at the areas near Canarie Wharf. Massive multi billion pound corps, next to what can only be described as third world living.

Nope
The tea party isn't a political party. Most people involved would oppose moving in such a direction too. It's more of a pressure group.
