As said above your tribalism cheapens the discussion. Even I at my most tribal did not go as far as saying that nothing Labour ever did was decent, truthful or honourable, quite the opposite I have complimented them on some of their achievements. You are simply not open to any kind of discussion on this matter as you are so stubbornly anti-Tory.

It's amusing that in other threads you criticise people for being prejudiced, etc, yet make comments like the above. A comment from the BBC page comes to mind.



These past few days have been largely statemanship and good politics at its' finest. Two not necessarily compatible parties coming together, accepting differences, compromising and hammering out a way forward despite, not because of, party views as opposed to Labour taking a similar view to the one in the quote above and essentially offering the Lib Dems their manifesto.

The same inflexibility you show with your unwavering belief that you're right was the same one Labour showed by all accounts, and is one of the reasons they are now the opposition despite the unwavering support of their Tory-hating base.

I'm sure I've asked this before but I'll ask again - what is the nature of your business? What do you do / produce? Is it something that will suffer under ConLib such as, I don't know, CCTV cameras or advanced biometrics, maybe DNA profiling equipment?

The irony is that the Tories have a much better record on civil liberties than Labour. One of the easiest things to sort out in the coalition was civil liberties as both sides were pretty much side-by-side on all issues of note. I don't even think any concession were made on either side. The only ones really were financial.

I didn't see you you criticising other posters when they declared their dislike for the Labour party, wheere were your accusations of tribalism then? Am I not allowed an opinion, or is it just the one opinion I am allowed to have, the one that agrees with the rest of the Tory supporters on this forum?

I cannot say that I have seen many posts where you have praised the Labour party, I must have missed them.

I think all of us know who everybody else follows so there is absolutely no point in trying to score just one more point...why not just comment on the current situation without little digs at what others truly believe in.
Heh its just a thought, otherwise the conversation always ends up going down the pan.:shrug:

Just to add in my two penneth, the LD's were damned whatever they did, but in my opinion I think they have done the right thing, anyone who voted for them at least has a good chance now of seeing a fair amount of their manifesto being brought into law, plus as mentioned earlier a coalition between the pair of them puts paid to any dopey ideological fantasies either of them might have wished to bring in had they got a majority.
