There's a general election coming up
How about we spout politics for a week?

A chance to tell everyone what you think about politicians, politics, democracy, communism, conservatism, flatulism, all totally uncensored.


Unless you are BNP (that's like thick KKK without the robes, for our American friends)

No no no no no
Having seen some views of politics/ politicians on this site already, this is a bad, bad, bad idea. There are people who assume we have a presidential 'elect the Prime Minister' system, people who don't vote and have a lot to say about MPs and people that think that as they didn't get the chance to vote for Gordon Brown he should not be PM. Despite these people not actually living in Fife.

Yes but...
...aren't they fun to read!

Mind you, it would probably end up as being 'Ignorance part2'.

Doesn't this generally happen anyway?
I mean, if something needs to be said it's usually quite easy to crowbar it in. And the last few questions haven't exactly been dismissive (Letters, Ignorance etc... basically asking the same thing, right?)

This would be terrible.
A week of empty-headed frothing by people utterly untroubled by insight, most of which would be reducible to "I hate Cameron because of the school he attended" or "I hate Brown because he has one eye".

Indeed, it's what happens every time.
I do so love the comments from people who don't vote though. Seems odd that they can get so worked up about MPs when they can't be arsed to actually vote.

There would also be hundreds of references to:

Gordon (or, strangely, as happened in the 'people I love to hate' qotw, Gordan) Broon/ McBroon/ Clown

Tony...wait for it, wait for it,...Bliar. Hilarious, original and deeply incisive.

Extra points for ZaNuLiarBore as that is my favourite.

I hate that Gordon Brown, I do
It's because he has only one eye.

Let's mock the partially disabled!

i actually loathe him for mismanaging his roles
as Chancellor and Prime Minister.

His eye is irrelevant. I just feel his policies have no real depth (perception).
