If we leave the EU, we'd lose about 3 million jobs. There's a reason why all of the parties backtrack after saying there will be a referendum on Europe - because they know it'll lose, thanks to The Sun and The Daily Mail, and it will set Britain backwards by about 40 years.
Cant say I really understand the whole EU thing, except basically that the government pumped shitloads of money and resources into it, and only then offered us a referendum knowing full well that if we pulled out we'd lose the lot and the taxpayer would have to make up the difference.
I just liked the way the UKIP leader tore into the president of the EU, funny shit.
I don't like the EU, but there are many more important issues. Have you looked at the rest of UKIPs policies? A load of bullshit, with no real substance.
Something about cutting a shitload of jobs in thepublic sector, helping small businesses thrive, which apparently is one of the reasons we need out of the EU as they shit all over small businesses, basically cut public sector jobs, but help the private sector thrive so that it is all made up. To be honest I wasnt paying much attention.
I'm edging towards Lib Dems, because they're the best of our options. Which is quite bad.
I met my local Lib Dem Borough Councillor where I was working yesterday actually, gave my mate a chance to interview him. It was funny stuff.
I'll sum up the basics best I can
My mate: You lot seem to be quite popular this year, think you've got a chance?
Lib Dem dude: Well, some of our members live in cockoo land, they actually think we will win.
My mate: I noticed that your policy is to cut classroom sizes in schools, and change the tax laws so that only people earning over £10,000 will have to pay tax, but the schools are always crying about being underfunded, and with the tax cuts, wheres the money going to come from? someone is going to lose out
Lib Dem dude: To be honest, I downloaded our (forgotten the word) the other day, it's explained I think, but I cant make head nor tail of it to be frank.
My mate: Is your party actually strong enough to run the country?
Lib Dem dude: *Shrugs* Dont know really, well, we'd give it a go, we might do alright.
The conversation was a lot more jokey than that to be fair. Still, after talking to him, the lib dems definately got my vote.
