Which way do you swing?

[james_m]

I do not think this topic has been covered before.

So, which way do you swing?

I see in todays papers that the Conservative are edging over Labour in the polls.

I have never really taken much notice about this rubbish before and have never bothered to vote, but now that I am going for Officer I had better take notice!!

Cheers

Stricly opportunistic.


Je suis pour le communisme
Je suis pour le socialisme
Et pour le capitalisme
Parce que je suis opportuniste.

Il y en a qui contestent
Qui revendiquent et qui protestent
Moi je ne fais qu'un seul geste
Je retourne ma veste, je retourne ma veste
Toujours du bon cote.

Je n'ai pas peur des profiteurs
Ni meme des agitateurs
J'fais confiance aux electeurs
Et j'en profite pour faire mon beurre

Je suis de tous les partis
Je suis de toutes les patries
Je suis de toutes les cotteries
Je suis le roi des convertis

Je crie vive la revolution
Je crie vive les institutions
Je crie vive les manifestations
Je crie vive la collaboration

Je l'ai tellement retournee
Qu'elle craque de tous cotes
A la prochaine revolution
Je retourne mon pantalon

Well im going for the rather not say option, because discussing politics is a minefield in itself and im not getting into a fight unless it involves semi naked men and lots of mud

You dont actually say which one you would vote for and the reasons why, as my grannie always said, you dinnae start an argument unless you have made your point clearly and are sure of your facts. She also said that sitting on a cauld dyke would give you piles - never happened!!

"Say no more! Does she go, then?!?"

[james_m]

Well observed Flo. I didn't say which way I would vote as I don't really know. Never really followed politics that much except what I hear my parents chatting about and what I catch on the News.

Which party offers the Armed Forces the best future?

I used to think Labour were the one to go for but to be honest I now think they are pretty crap with all the immigration etc etc...

Then again, could any other Government do any better? probably not.

BNP for me baby.

Yeah all the way.


Nah if I ever get round to voting it will be Ukip cause IIRC they want to get out of the european union, which is what I want.

No good will come no matter who gets in unfortunately...

[flighty]

You sound like an intelligent bloke.

Care to come and share ideas with me?

The best way to cause nause on a military forum is to ask stupid questions like this.

Politics and Religion always cause trouble.

Fair point, just thought I might provoke some banter. Don't want to start a fight.

Aaaah that very word PROVOKE perhaps you should have used the word encourage - its much more Officer speak and so much friendlier and PC

Oooh or implement- now that is a good word.

[james_m]

Thank you Flo, even "spark" would have been better. I think it was because I had read Artists post who was talking about causing a fight and so "provoke" was in my head at the time.

Cheers

Yep spark is good but it means to ignite, which is not a good thing to do, and my grannie also used to say that many a fight was won by words and the wiser and more articulate the words the better they were to confuse and fool the enemy

Och my granny was great

Hmmmm.
Not so sure. When I try it with Paul, he just quits reading after the second tome of my reply...

Or is it that I use too many words????
