Auld_Reekie Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Undecided. Like others have said, I support the principles but have real problems with the practice. So the dilemma I have is whether it's better to come out and hope for reform/rebuild, or to stay in and affect reform/rebuild. The former seems to have more bite but more risk, while the latter is safer but less likely to affect change. Ill also admit to being somewhat influenced by the independence campaign as well: what will make it more likely? I find this important because no matter which of the scenarios above plays out, being represented by the UK Government in the EU is every bit an issue as the EU itself. All things considered, I'd probably settle for voting to remain in the EU especially if rUK votes to leave. That will be a trigger for another referendum IMO, which we'll likely win and would represent a unique political and economic opportunity to reestablish Scotland as an independent nation. Quote
dipped flake Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Nah, as per my post above, I think very unlikely that Trump beats Clnton. Two reasons: 1. He has completely alienated the Hispanic vote and it is very difficult to win without them. 2. He is relying on the vote of a bunch of people who don't normally vote. Clinton for Prez. Your second prediction is looking more and more likely, your 2nd point is very valid, most people who agree with Trump are too stupid to know how to register to vote Quote

Auld_Reekie Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 "They didn’t want to talk about these issue until he brought ‘em up. In fact, they’ve been wearing a, this, political correctness kind of like a suicide vest." Holy f***. Quote

Padre Andrew Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hilary in trouble https://newrepublic.com/minutes/128023/bernie-sanders-clobbering-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire-according-new-cnnwmur-poll Bernie seems like a good guy on the economy. What's he like on foreign policy? That's what we'd notice most about him if he ever became president. Quote
Scunnered Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Sorry for editing your reply but he is the same as Clinton and Trump. Horrendous Padre. I quite like him. Comrade Corbyn as PM, Comrade Bernie as president. Stuff of dreams! Quote
ParisInAKilt Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Bernies not a war criminal yet so bit harsh comparing him with Obama and Clinton. Although I doubt his foreign policy would be dramatically different Quote
brant grebner Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Meanwhile in Bernie land.... painful viewing at times. (action starts at 47 seconds.) That's hilarious.These 2 racist dykes hijacked his meeting to a 4 minute moment of silence for Michael Brown. Not Trayvon, but Mike Brown - the guy who robbed a store for the ingredients of Purple Drank, assaulted the store owner and then attacked a cop and tried to shoot him with his own gun. Black Lives Matter - founded by a white guy who claims that the father on his birth certificate is not his real father (cos he's white like his mother is) and his real father was a light skinned gentleman of colour; who is essentially saying that his own mother is a cheating hoor who likes big black cock - have no stance on black on black violence whatsoever but race bait the justified killings of young black criminals. They hold black people back by blaming everything on whitey and doing nothing about the thug culture that leads to so many young black men being killed and jailed. The vast majority of blacks see them got what they are and disagree with them. Sanders showed himself up as complete pussy by pandering to them. The moment they stepped in front of him he should have got his security to set about them with Alsatians and fired water cannons at them. Quote

phart Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Thomas Sowell piping up as well. I find him incredibly insightful. http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2016/01/19/what-are-elections-for-n2106351 He cites Eric Hoffer who was a american scholar who said these sort of folk pop up predictably. "Eric Hoffer's shrewd insight into the success of charismatic leaders was that the "quality of ideas seems to play a minor role," What matters, he pointed out, "is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world."" sums Trump up and Hoffer died in the early 80's.
