More lies. Perhaps you'd care to explain how I've voted Conservative so many times? .

No they are not wrong, you are simply not reading and understanding correctly, as usual. See my previous post. .

Try to understand what the OED mean Zlatan, conservatism isn't an expression of politicality. Definition: A conservative (small c) is someone who likes to conserve, keep things as as they are. The word conservative is an antonym of radical. To illustrate using ourselves, you have...

Oh dear, more weirdness. Being small "c" conservative isn't necessarily about a person's politicality, hence that definition saying "not necessarily" voting conservative. Conservative voters are NOT by definition large C conservatives. By arguing that you are arguing against the very...

No I'm not wrong, you said: The definition is without NECESSARILY voting Conservative, a very big difference indeed and your "conservative views" should not have a capital C. Your post was wrong since the majority of Conservative voters are small "c". But you were right in that the majority...

Wrong. I don't think I've ever known someone with so many weird and untrue views. Here's some corrections: Most small "c" conservatives already vote Conservative, that's why they are in power and have been for so long. Even many Conservative MPs are small "c", we call them the moderates. As...

Rubbish, see this link How do you think Momentum magically gained over half a million Labour Party members. They sure weren't a sudden gain of half a million new union members. Anyway, why is wanting members of a trade union political party to be trade unionist wrong? No-one has to vote for...

That is what small "c" conservative means !!! i.e. Very slightly right wing, a sort of caring right wing, so long as it's not too expensive. The UK is certainly not predominantly centrist, if it was the Liberals would be in power since there could hardly be a more centrist party. .

I have to disagree, the British people are overwhelmingy small "c" conservative, so not inclined to any form of radicalism, which true Labour is and should be. Which favours the right. The left promise fairness which fundamentally cannot be done with a lie to influence the individual, since...

No Zlatan, don't keep repeating this lie: Labour party standard membership fee £4.42, open to ALL over 14. Reduced membership fee £2.21, open to the Retired for obvious reasons and Trade Unionists since they already pay their political contribution so shouldn't have to pay twice. Other...

That isn't true, one does not have to be a Union member, anyone over 14 can join the Labour party. It's already open to anyone. That's why Momentum were able to gain over half a million new labour party members, there certainly wasn't a sudden gain of half a million trade unionists! Are you...

Actually the Union power has been reduced, but with no effect. Trade union membership fees use to contain a compulsory political contribution, which of course went to the Labour Party. Until the Tories rightly pointed out that this was unfair, so by law it had to be changed into a voluntary...

They can't lose that Zlatan, as I've expained before, the Labour party was formed out of trade unionism and the unions have to be their paymasters. It takes lots of money to run a political party and unlike the Tories, the party has few wealthy private backers. They can only lose the trade...

The irony is that when they were forced to re-establish the GLC because they made a mess of trying to run London, they rigged the present voting system in the hope of it benefitting themselves. It didn't work then since we voted Labour back in twice before they were finally able to briefly...

There'll be such excuses for a while, but I think as the difficulties crop up up we'll gradually make concessions and creep back into closer union bit by bit, perhaps saving face by eventually joining EFTA rather than returning to the EU. .

Yes, that was Edwina Currie. It was strangely out of character for John Major. .

If only that were true. I'm afraid the record of how long principled PMs since WW2 survive is very poor: Clement Attlee, Alec Douglas-Home and John Major were undoubtedly very principled. Anthony Eden, Edward Heath and Gordon Brown were arguably principled and honest in office. Now look at...

It is possible to add a freewheel and I've done it and described the process on this web page. However, that was long ago in 2007 and it wasn't really worth it other than as an exercise to show that could be done. I doubt it's practical to add a cassette core in the same way. New rear hub...

Starmer hasn't got what it takes to be a successful politician. The look of a rabbit caught in the headlights is no substitute for the essential bluff of relaxed self assurance that politicians rely on. The near impossibility of Labour winning the next GE without the Scottish vote, plus Tory...

Agreed, but they used to support the idea of PR, though admittedly when they didn't have such a dominant position. And they had already accepted a reduction of the number of Westminster seats with the Scottish parliament independence and their independence has substantially increased since so...
