[Closed] Why wont people vote green?

chewkw - Member

Voting Green is like voting for monster loony party innit?

They are protest group Not politicians.

Everyone can write detail policies if that is the job/career.

I rather Green party become extreme eco warrior taking up arms ...

Absolute twaddle, as usual.

[quote=Trimix ]So, out of all the parties I can vote for, which one(s) will do something about population expansion ?
They will get my vote.

I believe there was a socialist party which had a solution, or was it a national party? A bit final though IMHO.

edit: oh and i don't like growth,-there I've said it growth, growth, growth thats all the others bang on about looks to me like we could all do with growing a little less.

Over a long enough period, the correct amount of growth is 0%.

Too many self-interested people

Thats my point, Binners can vote green/labour, cos it hurts them little, if at all.

What does that actually mean? I genuinely have no idea what you're blathering on about. Who is the 'them' you're referring too? Would you care to expand on what on earth it is you're failing to articulate. You're just like a random word generator, thats been infected with a virus from a right wing think-tank

UKIP is not a single issue party take for example its intent to privatise as much of the NHS as possible and to reduce benifits for all by a further 30% and to slash local authority spending further than all other parties.

It's easy to find what UKIP policies are - they're published in their daily newsletter, the one which gives away free lego.

😆 As if Green is going to be in govt. How many MPs do they have in the Parliament? Why can't that number go up? [u][b]I see plenty of people backstabbing the Green? No?[/u]

If they take up arms I will vote for them especially against those over fishing issues.

Can we vote for Cheekyw? His head would explode if he became a zombie maggot....

Greens regularly get my vote. I don't agree with their stance on nuclear energy but I understand it and accept that it's a POV based on discussion rather than the business interests of mega-corps

Just for Binners.

[i]Too many self-interested people

Now, please, calm down. You've had plenty of chances to address the fact that voting green/labour probably won't cause you much, if any hassle and so you think its ok to vote green/labour. This is obviously influencing who you choose to vote for. And this is my issue, people vote for their own interests, we've lost the sense of 'greater good' on a group/nation level mostly because there will never be consensus. Now, chill.

EDIT:
[i]Can we vote for Cheekyw? His head would explode if he became a zombie maggot....[/i]
And there some folk are, wondering if I'm a random word generator ?
😆

Why do you (wrongly) assume that everyone votes purely and exclusively in the interests of themselves? And excludes any acknowledgement that you're voting for what kind of society we all have to live in? And that includes people worse off, and more disadvantaged than yourself?

Oh yeah… you're a Tory 🙄

So your a fan of tons of massively radioactive waste (I assume we're talking Uranium) that we have no idea how to store for 1000 years let alone tens of thousands. Yet reserves will only last about 85 years?

GM seed? Monsanto? Seed patenting that's only compatible with specific fertilizers etc?

Come on those aren't make of break issues are they?

Oh god, where do I start.

Stick it down a mine at a tectonic subduction zone.

And there's nothing wrong with GM, the sun genetically modifies things including people every day. Genetic modification is done in a controlled setting, the former is not.

that it's a POV based on discussion rather than the business interests of mega-corps

Don't mistake "discussion" for a pathological fear of anything 'da man' does.

My head would get bigger but not explode but others would especially those that keep saying how good Green are but turn their back on them the moment they are asked to vote for them. 😆

So I decided to google the Green Party leader to see if she was abit of crumpet. Maybe we can take a leaf out of Mr Bunga Bunga's book and elect eye candy:

Natalie whatshername is not even British. If You Kip find out about this Farrage will stumble over his words again.

Is that a cross on her neck?

So she's a religious nutbag and anti-science.

Who'd have guessed. Oh the predictability.

That's an Egyptian cross.

When they spend soo much time on tv sprouting political-speak (crap) why can't they look good in bikini's and titillate?

So she's just a hippy then, as she probably isn't coptic.

Shame.

[i]Don't mistake "discussion" for a pathological fear of anything 'da man' does.[/i]

'Da man' has so far revealed himself to be a selfish shyster. Any one that is actively sticking 'it' to him is alright by me

Except the science behind 'da man' is quite often right. Scientists do science and then it's used by corportations - if it makes them money. If it doesn't or it opposes their own viewpoint, then they will often attempt to discredit it. Much like the environmental movement, which is full of people with a bad case of confirmation bias - both sides have their own selfish motives.

Funnily enough it's mostly non-scientists who have an irrational fear of radiation.

Tell that to Marie Curie.

Marie Curie died in 1934. What year is it again?

You should be more worried about being killed by a mutant H5N1 virus.... but that's okay I guess...because it's uhhhh....natural man.

Outsmarted again. 🙁

[quote=Tom_W1987 ]Is that a cross on her neck?

The girl in hora's pic isn't head of the Green Party - I presume given who she actually is and what hora wrote that he's aware of that, but didn't feel the need to enlighten.

No shes a Bunga Bunga party MP

Radiation

It's only scary if you choose not to understand it, my work life (including the most radioactive building in the world) kept getting beaten by X Rays.

Sod you Hora, I googled that at work.

[i]Why do you (wrongly) assume[/i]
a) Prove it !

b) you're actually making some very wrong assumptions, in your own posts. Which, amusingly, you appear to have failed to spot.
😉

[i]Oh yeah… you're a Tory[/i]
😆 Nice try binners, but not voting Green/Labour, doesn't make me a voter for the conservatives. Well, not to anyone who isn't a rabid lefty.
😉

I just google imaged "Bunga Bunga party MP"

Oh heellloooooooo 8)

😆 I might not have heard of Noemi Letizia before googling, but I did know what Bunga Bunga referred to!

I thought a Bunga Bunga Party was an event rather than a political grouping, where letcherous old goats did unspeakable things to underage girls? Like the BBC in the 70's

The Scottish Green Party supports Scottish Independence. - See more at: http://www.scottishgreens.org.uk/independence/#sthash.EzS5UzVM.dpuf

Their other policies are irrelevant.
I wouldn't vote for them.

Funnily enough it's mostly non-scientists who have an irrational fear of radiation.

Got a BmedSci, an MSc, an RSS Graduate Diploma in Statistics and my undergraduate laboratory project involved a big **** off radiation gun/thingy. I think I'm alright and I feel completely qualified to make that sweeping statement.

Cool ^^^ A chart, you've got to love a chart.

All I can manage is a meter...

Only just spotted the edit -

[i]It's only scary if you choose not to understand it [/i]

I understand that when it does go horribly wrong, the consequences are pretty eventful...

Usually in ancient or badly designed reactors...

I think the problem is that sooner or later they all become ancient and that the bad designs tend not to be spotted until after it's all gone pear shaped...

So some here don't want to do anything to reduce contamination of our environment by agriculture, industry and the energy sector even though [url= http://french-revolution-2.blog.fr/2012/01/05/cancer-la-catastrophe-silencieuse-12341851/ ]we're killing ourselves.[/url] Our kids are twice as likely to get cancer at any given age as we were.

Mike, for me...that was amazeballs, as I'm the type that would accidentally release a zombie virus from a cat 4 lab.

Our kids are twice as likely to get cancer at any given age as we were.

Our kids are twice as likely to get cancer at any given age as we were.

On the plus side they are less likely to die of Polio, infection, diphtheria, measles, smallpox, tetanus, typhoid, TB or a whole host of other diseases.
