(11 Feb 2015, 9:34 pm)MrFozz Daft question...
How do I find if I will be eligible to vote or will I need to wait till my voting card arrives, as I have voted in every single election 2001 is it safe to say I am almost certainly registered to vote???

You're in Durham aren't you? If so, I had 'the occupier' letter through the door recently, which listed those eligible to vote at my address.

Two things annoying me today, but sticking them in here, due to the nature of them.
The first one, relates to Thatcher. Always had my suspicions and now it appears to be true

The second 'annoyance', goes to back to a post I made previously about the dictatorship that is the EU and the un-elected President Junker wanting to form an EU army.

(09 Mar 2015, 5:32 pm)MarcTheA4 Don't think I've ever made a good presence in this thread, so now may be the time. I have a politically-interested friend who informs me of a lot things, and he is a Conservative-obsessed guy. Very intelligent too, could prove you wrong in a situation he has little knowledge of.
I have always agreed with UKIP's policies, but I fear being seen as a racist. If I had to pick out of the 4 when I first vote - they'll get mine.
My mam's side of the family (primarily coal mining) has always been a (well, there's only her now! ) Labour family - strongly opposed and despising of Conservatives. Her side of the family was literally torn apart during the fights for the pits against Margaret Thatcher.
Whereas my dad's side of the family (which in comparison between him and my mam, he had a much better upbringing in a middle-class environment) has always been Conservative, and opposed to Labour.
A hard battle to fight, but I know for a fact we have always gone with Conservative since Labour got the push out office a few years ago.
My thoughts on the Liberal Democrats: can't stand that Nick Clegg, wanting us to go to school on Saturdays...citaro5284 wouldn't get his reviews for gods sake! On a serious note, I literally can't stand them or anything they stand for.

(09 Mar 2015, 6:06 pm)aureolin Why UKIP out of interest? What stands out as a vote winner?
Which UKIP policies stand out to you, and for what reasons?

Another that I've always liked is that we would pay exactly the same student fees as International students. Assuming I've got this right, and not wrong, that would mean I would pay less for university, and everyone would be equal. Like someone once said to me - 'money is necessary for survival, not matter how much you have'. My thoughts on it are cheaper things are, no matter how much you have to spare, will always appeal.
Without wanting to come across as racist, I like the whole 'British jobs for British people' idea. Like always, if I expand on that point, I'll end up digging myself a hole...so I'll leave that one there.
Although, having said that, one thing that would worry me was the fact I heard that Nigel Farage doesn't have a degree or further education? Do you know this to be true? I must say, that would put me off slightly.

(09 Mar 2015, 6:29 pm)MurdnunoC You do realise International students tend to pay more to study in the UK. I think you may have misunderstood something there.

Think I'll just steer clear of politics from now on.
If I try to voice my own views, be they misguided or not - it turns into a shark attack.
