View From The Top Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Just wondering as to whether any inhabitants of The Lounge, plenty of whom are quite politicised, are actually members of political parties or NGOs? I was a member of the Labour Party until Blair took us to war and had been since I was 14. Now I'm a member of The Green Party but, oddly, understand where UKIP are coming from regarding EU membership, which is a concern for an avowed Europhile!

So you could fight for democracy but couldn't belong to a political party that represented democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean...easier to remain "impartial".....otherwise with what I do, people would go digging and digging etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Labour Party! Are you content with that dweeb Milliband as leader? Can you really ever see him as PM? I can't. To me he is the most feeble, slimy careerist loser that the Labour party have ever chosen to lead them. He is an utter drip. What happened to the real men who used to lead the Labour movement? I mean, even Brown - the worst PM this country has ever, ever had - at least he had substance. It was horse manure substance, but at least he was a Big Man. Milliband should still be breast feeding.

There is no doubt in my mind that David Miliband would have been the next PM. Cameron bullies Ed in the HOC exchanges even when it's on a subject that Labour should have the upper hand. There has been so much to pick up on that the Tories have screwed up (already) yet it's been almost ignored by Labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Joined the Labour Party when I was 18 and there I stayed until the Iraq war when I resigned on principle. Rejoined when I moved to Dave's Witney constituency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Very interesting that Dr Who is a labour supporter. For the record, I am not a member of any party but at the moment it is the Tory party who I feel are the best choice to lead the country after the Labour c*ck up post Blair.

shurlock Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Done a bit of paid work for Labour and know some of the lot under Brown and in opposition; but definitely not a member. What I will say is that scratch under the surface of the leadership and you'll find more committed, down-to-earth people in the party -people who go to the football and like to banter than you'll ever find in the Tory party. Whatever you say about Labour -much of which is true, you're kidding yourselves if you think the Tories are the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 I was a member of the Liberal Democrats, but no longer. May re-join at some point soon. I did look at joining CLEAR recently, which I may still do. For those who don't know, CLEAR is a party pushing for drug law reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
