[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 266204"] How can you call Plaid a 'poor mans BNP' Cymro? They have no racist views on immigration etc. and although they may not have British wide policies, they have policies important to myself and the rest of Wales. It's not as if Plaid are trying to be elected into government, they are trying to get MP's into Europe and the house of commons to make sure Wales is represented. I know Plaid isn't as good as it once was when Ron Davies was there, but there are some very good Plaid MP's. As for the EU, for the sake of industries all over Britain, the improved trading of being part of the EU is invaluable, and inheriting the Euro as our currency would improve that further still (though it would be sad to get rid of the pound). Being a farmers son and the fact that farming is one of Wales' biggest industries, it's therefore important to stay in the EU in order to improve the value of stock. I dont care how good some of BNP's etc. policies are, their short sitedness on Europe and their recist views on immigration etc. makes their entire party appalling and I don't understand how anyone can vote for them. If someone wants to make a protest vote, vote for the Raving Loonies or the Green Party etc. If I had to vote for one of the main 3 parties, I think I'd vote Labour. Anyone who tries to blaim Labour for the economical mess we find ourselves in are idiots, as the only people to blaim are the banks for messing up with peoples money. It was impossible for Brown to see this coming, and there's not much more he can or could have done to help. I'm not a fan or Brown and hope he goes soon, but I can't see the Tories doing any better. Lib Dem just don't cut it imo. Overall, as others have said, we find ourselves in a poor situation where there isn't much difference between the main 3 parties. I can understand why young people can't be bothered to vote. The lives of politicians are so different from most peoples day to day lives that they can't surely represent them? The circus that is the house of commons with the stupid booing and yehing also needs to go imo. They should act like professionals and have a proper debate. [/QUOTE]
