Johnny Foreigner, the EU – and women.

Well, and all other 'minorities'. The same party would get rid of most equalities legislation too.

Getting in this on a separate issue but companies are already endorsed to 'positively' discriminate. Personally i don't see anything positive, the strongest candidate should always get the job imo.

Indeed.

But the idea about 'positive discrimination' should be that, if you have, say, two candidates that you cannot divide, the one who has had least benefits (so to speak) shoudl win extra brownie points for overcoming their disadvantage (so to speak). That should give you the best candidate, in that they will arguably have had to show more determination etc to get where they are.

But UKIP doesn't like that.

It essentially wants a return to the good old days where you got brownie points just by being white, male and heterosexual.

I personally find that if i lean to much to the left or right i tend to fall over, it's why being generally in the middle seems the logical conclusion, obviously a little leaning in both directions will still keep me on my legs as long as i don't go too far.

I'm delighted that you've changed your mind on UKIP, then.

All parties have policies i agree with, i've always been a floating voter, my bridges though are burned with Labour/Conservative.

Same old he said she said and no substance with any of them, i'm actually thinking of 'wasting' my vote and voting for an independent.

It's tempting but I am careful with findings like that.
I once read that left-handed people were more likely to have a high IQ ... but that they were more likely to have a low IQ as well.
i.e. They had a greater tendency away from the average.

Oh, I appreciate that, but, y'know ...

Garage's latest idea is to cut MP's salaries by 75%, thus returning us to the good old days when you had to be rich to be an MP. What an !

Now of that i have the opposite opinion, these guys are running GB PLC like it or not, yes we know they're all vile sub human scum but you pay peanuts and you get monkeys.
I'd have pay structures depending on you position.

PM obviously being on the top wack, all the top cabinet jobs being on another rate, so on and so forth.

If applying those rules would you at the same time insist on some sort of track record as a successful CEO in order to run GB PLC ?

It would solve the problem of university graduates walking straight into parliament based on the fact that they went to a specific university and passed the required PPE degree but you could see the likes of George Osborne serving on the board of his fathers business for a year and claiming the required "work experience".

I'd love to see a complete shake up of our system, now who do we need to put the wheels in motion...Politicians, now that sounds like a pl....ahhh, i think i've just seen the stumbling block
