It's never really been a Socialist Party, as such. It's had Socialists within its ranks but its always been a far broader church than that. | |

Yes I wouldn't argue with that. Although there's no denying that its main principles up until the mid-80s were firmly based on the tenets of socialism. | |

No. Progressive taxation, wealth redistribution, social fairness. Actually all parties are basically socialist as they all support wealth redistribution to some extent or another. | |

I've never been a "right-winger." That phrase just conjures up ideas of monetarism and unfettered capitalism for me. The Market as panacea as opposed to the lefts's State. Both soulless concepts, shackles of a different hue. | |

You're imputing what you'd like Socialism to have meant, not what it was in practice. A sin we're all guilty of when it comes to our own pet theories, I suppose. [Post edited 21 Apr 2014 4:30]

Your wrong they are all in it together with us mun On a serious note spot on, they don't care about us, big banks and multi nationals are their pals As for Farage cn*tpipe of the highest order, although he has said he'd take on zero hours contracts which are a disgrace I don't believe him | |

FAO Clase: Let's go see Farage. on 09:37 - Apr 20 by exiledclaseboy | I may actually get some leaflets done with the definition of the word "libertarian" printed on them and hand them out on the door to those going to see the Dear Leader speak. In my experience most UKIP supporters haven't got a clue what the word means. And UKIP isn't so much a political movement anyway, it's more of a cult of personality. I've just brought the mental image of Farage crumpled up in the wreckage of that light aircraft crash a few years ago back to my mind. Satisfying. Happy Easter. |

That resounds of second-hand, recycled, bigoted nonsense. No personal offence intended, fella' but that just smacks of the knee-jerk, lefty baseless hatred of anybody who's got a few bob more than you and it makes me cringe, honestly it does. You're a free born man, make your own way in the world. Don't worry about what somebody may or may not have got. Take care of yourself and yours. | |

It's not about WEALTH per se it's about POWER and the ability to influence the lives of everyone in this country. I highlighted the attitude towards their perception of the working man as an example. We are constantly having their (ie the governing classes) values imposed upon us. Putting it simply I just want a fairer distribution of political power. | | | |

Well, mate, it's hardly the first time I've come home late, three sheets to the wind, and got hold of the wrong end of the stick. A fairer distribution of political power, you say? I'd agree; most of us outside of the left would be keen advocates of steps in that direction. First things first we need to have a clearer understanding and sound definitions of exactly what "power" is. Where it resides, how it's wielded and the difficult part: how to appropriate it? I've got no ready-made, simple solutions for you. Who has? What I have got are suggestions for reading matter for you if you have the time and inclination to develop your ideas. Off the top of my head... Hilaire Belloc - An Essay on the Restoration of Property. - The Servile State. G K Chesterton - The Outline of Sanity - Utopia of Usurers Ernst Schumacher - Small is Beautiful | |
