Because you can't think of anything else to say THM you've decided to dream up things which I haven't said. I said that the UK went back into negative growth after the Tories came to power, the ONS figures show that.

I didn't say anything about year over year growth rate, but because you can't attack what I've said you've decided to attack something that I haven't said.

Anyway, I ain't got time for this nonsense, I'm going out and need to get ready 🙂

Enjoy yourself - nonsense and dreaming things up very apt descriptions, just need to be applied correctly.

Thanks fella, and you enjoy dreaming up more things I haven't said to justify your Tory spin 🙂

That's odd, I could have sworn they were voted into their jobs on a regular basis - how many jobs have that obligation?

I could also swear that prospective MPs need to be selected as candidates, this effectively rules out anyone capable of either original thought or true, objective, political acumen.

What recovery ? its smoke and mirrors mate, the only people to benefit will be the money jugglers.

Thanks cheeky, I am fully aware of the nature of the recovery thanks. Helps if you read what I say not what EL claims I say. Try the we are all doomed thread for a recent example. I think you will find that the money jugglers are having their own problems too.

Prospective parliamentary candidates do not need to be selected by anyone. You just need £500 deposit and the signatures of 10 registered electors from the constituency that you wish to stand in.

Political parties understandably like to select the candidates which stand on their behalf, but you are not obliged to stand on their behalf.

Obviously you are unlikely like to win an election if you don't stand as the official candidate of a political party, but that's up to the voters to decide - they are fully entitled to vote for you if they want to. And they do occasionally vote for independents.

Any lack of independents in the House of Commons is down to the voters and no one else - so blame them if you are unhappy with election results.

Plus 1, even more so with the rise of cheap mass communication.
