Comment on Islamification of Britain by David.

“David your comments on the youth parliament saying they represent the majority again is a farce”

You are talking about populist politics, giving the people what they want and not what is right for the country. I’ll pass on that thanks.

Of course political parties don’t always do what the majority of the general public want and sometimes don’t do what many would consider the right thing.

If we asked all 45 million eligible voters if they want

1 Much lower taxes
2 Improved NHS
3 Higher standards of education in schools
4 More police on the streets
5 Harsh sentencing for criminals
6 British jobs for British workers

I’m sure a majority would say yes please.

However how can the government achieve points 2, 3, 4 and 5 if they also try to achieve point 1 of much lower taxes?

Points 2 to 5 are going to cost us more in taxes, you want better services, well you have to pay for them. And don’t give me the old BNP argument we’d pay for them through savings of not paying for foreign aid etc… Nick Griffin couldn’t even run a business successfully (he was declared bankrupt and almost took his parents down financially!) so to trust him with the countries finances is not even funny!!! I read Nick Griffin’s highest paid job was teaching English to immigrants, now that’s hilarious :-)

Point 6 is protectionism, under our current system (part of the EU) we can not go down a protectionist route without incurring significant penalties from other members of the EU. It would damage trade. I wish we could have a much stronger policy to give jobs to British workers, but if it goes too far over all we loose more than we gain. I will agree we don’t do enough to encourage businesses to hire British workers, so improvements could be made.

Good governments have to make unpopular choices, that’s the nature of government.

I’m not a Conservative voter (I dislike them a LOT), but I have to give them credit on their decision no longer to offer a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

If the Conservatives hold government next year and had a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and the public voted NO, what would it achieve, it’s already passed, it’s too late to vote no?

Your anger should be aimed at the Labour government (who I plan to vote for next year) for not offering us a referendum in the first place BEFORE it was ratified by all the other EU countries, not the Conservatives.
