    Did anybody see it? Was like a bad acid trip, strange ambient music, they had a little animation of a cow shitting onto a conveyer belt to be burnt for sustainable fuel. Was quite odd.

    But if we ever needed proof that voting never made a difference, we now have two political parties who are identical in all but faces (they are of course identical in colour and sex, heaven forbid we have ethnic minorities or women in parliament) leftist partys are formed of George 'I'm a cat' Galloway and a bunch of hopeless Trots.

    What does everyone think of Cameron's 'reforms' to the Tory party?

    I think he&#39;s an amazing politician

    As far as the left in Britain goes...well... ...it&#39;s pretty bad...

    Didn&#39;t see the broadcast (don&#39;t watch tv) but that animation of a cow sounds hilarious. Little like "Dave" and his huskies. How stupid/naive/gulliable do they really think the electorate are?

    As to what I think of the reforms, I think this sums it up:

    Hm, I would go so far to say he is an amazing politician. He had done well yes, but profited hugely from people getting pissed off with Blair and his govt.&#39;s scandals then people supporting the Torys.

    Blair should leave asap, but to regain Labour as a party of the working class would be near impossible now.

    I disagree about the two parties being the same. In terms of their leaderships policies yes. In terms of their class character and membership, deffinatley not.
    In what relations do the Communists stand to the proletarians as a whole? The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to other working class parties. They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole. They do not set up any sectarian principles of their own, by which to shape and mould the proletarian movement.

    It is only by strengthening ourselves ideologically, inculcating in ourselves the values and ideals of the struggle and building up the ranks of the revolutionary party that we will make it.

    Bloody political broadcasts. The Labour one where Cameron is a chameleon constantly changing to suit the situation but always being blue at the end with the tagline "Vote Blue, Get Blue" was fucking sickening; how gullible do they think we are, if they still think Labour are seen as red you can vote red and get blue as well.

    And "Vote Blue. Get Green." If green is a reference to the colour of my vomit then, yeah, that sounds about right.

    I could vote Tory or Labour in some marginals to prevent the stronger of the two at a given time from forming a majority.

    The laobur party is lead by reactionaries but I think to dismiss the whole party as &#39;tory&#39; is wrong.

    I&#39;m prepared to leave the country and go into exile if the Tories get elected to power. It&#39;s tru, Cameron has grabbed the attention of the camera, especially the widespread coverage of recent news on the BBC (bias?) But I think he&#39;s just another clown....just like Blair, it never changes. I have completely lost faith in British politics, for a long time now.

    Expect to see the BNP win a large share in the local elections. *sighs*
