| CrazyHorse said: It's too early to decide yet, I'll wait to hear what comes out from the remaining party conferences as well as the manifestos closer to election time. I'm not really keen on any of the parties will go with who ever comes closest to my views. Pro-European Pro-Nuclear Energy Pro-Electoral Reform (elected House of Lords, proportional representation) I would like to see tution fees scrapped but entry requiremnts significantly raised so that university becomes a career choice again rather than a lifestyle choice (and pointless courses should be dropped). Not too sure where I stand on taxation but I like the idea Kowenicki suggested about reducing income tax and rasing VAT. Not sure about the war either. I don't think us leaving will be good for Afghanistan but I'm not sure us staying is going to resolve the situation anytime soon. |
oh cool, another pro-Europe brit, there are way too few of us
electoral reform im in favour of too
still a little suspect on nuclear myself
tuition fees should be scrapped on principle that education should be free to access for all imo (or at the very least, there should be a free option when it comes to education at any level), I agree some course's need to go (pointless ones), however, I think education is great, people should do it if they want too, raising entry standards a little maybe, but not so much as to stop people like me going (im good at stuff, just not great at exams, don't see why that should stop me learning more though)
taxes I don't know too much about, but should be covered on my politics course (doing at the moment)
war in Afghanistan seems pointless to me, we cant afford it for a start, it doesn't serve our interests so far as i can tell either, taliban fought off the empire and the USSR, both had more resources than Nato, Afghanistan government is one of the worst there is, no way should we be propping them up, this is not to mention the fact we seem to have acheived little in the past 8 years
