Yep "because the most tolerant people in the world aren't allowed to voice an opinion". That quote comes from many a paki friend of mine! Uneducated me obviously!

i didnt say uneducated, i said lazy. give them their due, when an activist from a mjor party knocks on my door, they can usually put together a reasonably coherent policy explanation or excuse for their position on issues...



ask UKIP (or BNP i'd suggest, but no-one from them came to my door) how 'british jobs for british workers' can be achieved by leaving the EU (our biggest export market) and they talk absolute garbage..."they wouldnt let 'our' jobs go abroad" apparently. i speak with the biggest employers in the Northwest pretty regularly, they'd bail tomorrow if they didnt have free-trade access to the EU.



many of the minor parties have no coherent policy framework other than 'single issue' politics. in my view, that's why your wasting your vote



[size=75note: some minor parties do have pretty decent policy sets - a tiny party, the Cornish nationalists seem to have really thought lots of issues through[/size
