End of the Union

No not the United Kingdom, but the European Union, with the Germans pushing for greater financial integration, were all national budgets are agreed by the EU before they are put to national parliaments.
If this is agreed by the 27 EU member states, and if there is no complete opt out for the UK. If the UK cannot get an opt to every single clause in the new agreement, this will cause a referendum in the UK, as detailed in the Coalition agreement.
What are the odds that the most euro-secptic nation in Europe voting yes, to any further loss of powers to the EU, I would say the chances would be slim.
So were would that leave us, there would have to be a re negotiation of the treaty after the no vote, which if there still no complete opt out would require another referendum, with similar odds as the first one in passing.
So we've twice voted against the new treaty, do re negotiate again, knowing without a complete opt out, that there would have little chance of a yes vote, so that leaves us in my opinion with only 1 option and that is to have a vote on whether we stay in the EU or not.
Which I think would lead to us voting to leave the EU.

Hey ho the wicked witch is dead

Well that's the end of that cycloptic cunt
Lets how see how long this lasts, they've signed on for 4 years, if it lasts the 4 years I would be really impressed, that they could hold it together for that long.

I've Joined

I decieded this evening to join the Conservative Party, I am disgusted at the way the Lib Dems have treated us, they talked to a Labour negotiation team behind our back, I say let them form a Rainbow coalition of losers, they won't get AV through the house of commons, either because the coalition will not last long enough or the Labour party cannot get enough of its MPs to vote for it.
We should never have given them the option of AV, take it off the table now and sit back and see how the dice fall.

End of the Union

I am not talking about the end of the unions, even though I would still like their powers curtailed further, what I am talking about is the end of the union of the United Kingdom.

It is plain to see in this last election that the Celtic Fringe as in previous elections, have a disproportionate, influence over the majority of the population, which are the English.

We have it seems vastly different outlooks on life, the Celts want a more socialist way of life, in Scotland mainly due to the influence of the Presbyterian church.
Were we the English, want a more fiscally conservative liberal society, with small government, not just greater personal freedom, but the freedom to choose what we believe is best for ourselves and families and not to be dictated too by the centre.

It is currently not a union of equals, with 10 million of them and 55 million of us, but the 10 million of them have as much if not more power then 55 million of us

We the English are not liked by the Celtic fringe, in fact we are detested by large parts of them, where when visiting these places, by just speaking with an English accent, will see you physical attacked.

So I say its time to end the union, let them suffer, they have everything in their favour now, why shouldn't things be in our favour, we shouldn't bow and cur-tow to the minority

Northern Ireland would be the first to go, I wouldn't lose any sleep and we could do without the headaches, just it give it the Republic. They couldn't afford to run NI in the good times, never mind they are struggling with a huge deficit, savage cuts in public spending, due to the collapse of the Celtic tiger economy.

The Scots, plainly don't like us, so I say fuck'em, give them independence, they bang on about oil and gas reserves, these reserves are dwindling, they would only get maybe 20 years maximum out of them and each year with dwindling returns. Even with the oil and gas from the north sea, they still would probably have to raise taxes, to keep their current standard of public services.

The Welsh would be truly fucked, they don't have the oil and gas revenue as the Scots, their taxes would have to rise substantially, or huge cuts in the current budget.

Oh by the way I would make sure they took, their share of the national debt with them, it would still leave us with the largest ammount, but without the grossly disproportionate public spending they receive, we could reduce the deficit and start paying off the debt.

End the union, end it now

Election

Ive changed my mind, looking at the fall in support for the lib Dems in the polls, I have decided to swap Labour and the Lib Dems, with Labour on 28 and the Lib Dems on 26

Election

I am not sure what to think, the polls say one thing, the pundits say another, the betting odds say another, we are looking at anything from the Tories being 40 seats short, to a majority of just less then 20.
I am going to have a go at predicting the % of the national vote on election night
Tories 38%
Lib Dems 28%
Labour 26%
Others 8%

I am not sure if I have the Labour and the Lib Dems the right way round, but my belief is that come polling day, when people go to vote they look at the voting slip, and think to themselves, I just cannot bring myself to vote Labour and will Lid Dem instead.
