I actually think its rather sad that so many of the debates in this thread can be narrowed down into three or four categories, most of which are not particularly relevant to the personalities or the politics which Tommy writes about in his updates. Instead of talking about what we should or shouldn't be doing in Indonesia, or about how good/evil a guy Powell is for taking over the Tories, say, we're left with talking about non-issues like republicanism or *shudder* free-market economics for the umpteenth time which Tommy doesn't even touch upon in his updates.

The only way to combat this, of course, is to actually actively debate things like action in Indonesia and Powell. Then no room is left for other, less relevant things to grow. Which shall we start with?

Well appereantly you're a Monetarist (Chicago school being the dominant, then neo-classicalism then some austrian) so you should vote Conservatives

Well economics is for starters one of the most central aspects of all parties. And as you've seen I have quite often been talking about foreign policy, UK's position in the world and so worth. So if you want to discuss these things, then doscuss them instead whining about it (directed at tanzhang). Also amusing that you like to discuss things that Tommy don't mention when it is of your own interest - like making the Commonwealth into an economical area.

So get off your high white horse and start to discuss these things So I must say I agree with Blair here.

A small update with the last three votes, which have seen the Tories drop below 35% once again. I suppose the question becomes not who will lead the government, but by how much, as 25 of 47 votes for Lib-Lab is a remarkably difficult thing to overcome.

Total Vote: 47

Tories: 16
Liberals: 15
Labour: 10
CPGB (E): 2
CPGB (S): 4

%s:
Tories: 34.0%
Lib-Lab: 53.2%
CPGB: 12.3%

Weighted:
Tories: 32
Liberals: 60
Labour: 40
CPGB: 3

Seats:
Tories: 146
UUP: 12
Liberals: 275
Labour: 183
CPGB: 14

Result: The reign of the Caesaropope is delayed.

And let none of that stop people from voting Liberal or Labour. Every vote cast against the Tories or the Communists sends a clear message to Whitehall that extremism of any hue will not be tolerated in modern Britain.

 

[Tarroque]

I vote for CPGB (Stalinist).

 

[Contravarius]

I vote for CPGB (Stalinist).

What may be extremism for you, may be sanity for others. Be careful by calling 34% and 12.3% of the population extremists just because you don't like them. I haven't seen them doing anything extreme yet like an armed revolt. Tolerance and respect for those are different, that is something you should teach yourself.

I'm still wondering what your true purpose and intent is, taking away all your ideological fronts from teh equation - as them all contradict eachother. And remember, gambling and prostitution wouldn't be allowed in a socialist/communist paradise

I'll bear that in mind should I ever think of calling them extremists, and not the parties they voted for.

Oh, right! I KNEW I had forgotten something important!

Still by claiming the Conservative party is extremist, you're also implying that the 34% of our population that support them are the same - as they share their views with the conservatives. And the party aren't extremist either. Having different opinions and point of view do not equate in extremism. But I believe it is difficult for a dogmatic like you to see that, after all only you and your peers can be correct?

Oh, right! I KNEW I had forgotten something important!

Well you're the oddball out. The violent man with no case or struggle. Disillusioned.

Oh no, I actually agree with Powell on many many things, and I agree with the One Nation Tories on many, many things - I voted for Eden twice after all.

People have many reasons for voting one way or another, and I do not believe that every single person who votes Tory agrees with Powell's tolerance of the insipid racism which is currently being practiced as we speak in Southern Africa. I do however believe that the toleration of such racism has no place in modern British society, and a vote for a party other than the Tories will send a clear message to Whitehall that that is the case. You mustn't put words into my mouth, Rosa.

South Africa must be kept under a close watch and on a short leash, the current system must be maintained. Every small change in the system could trigger a deep delve into darkness and chaos, the minority goverment is the best option for all the South Africans, no matter the colour of their skin.

I find it hard to believe that any system which seeks to partition - literally partition - a nation on the basis of the race of its citizens is beneficial for any South African. The Apartheid system is a disgusting blend of racism and neo-feudalism, and should be purged from the nation like the the pox upon the people that it is.

Any alternative to that "disgusting blend" will end in flames, economic meltdown and a small genocide. But I guess we'll all be able to witness it during the next term.
