maryportfuncity 10,666 Posted January 19, 2015 Obviously it's the burning question we've strangely failed to put into words thus far, but... For UK voters involved in dead pools, what is the best use of that vote. Sadly no party has yet articulated a specific strategy to aid dead poolers but there are a few indications. The Nasty Party are looking at austerity with a commendable disregard for freezing pensioners, the hungry poor and anyone else unable to contribute to Tory coffers, so there has to be some dead pool percentage there. Labour's usual mish mash of a little bit of social justice and a lot of disorganisation seems likely to help the vulnerable so we should avoid them like the plague (IMHO). A fringe party vote might tip politics into complete meltdown and bring about massive unrest with violence and obitable results. Personally, I was very impressed with Nick Clegg's statement about reducing suicide by getting the NHS to copy the successful practice in Detroit of hurling massive resources and care at the problem. I'm thinking if the Lib Dems got another share of power and he delivered on that promise as well as he delivered on the tuition fees five years ago we'd see the poverty porn superstars and bi-polar celebs toppling a treat for the next five years. What do our other readers think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do our other readers think? The comedy career is going well, MPFC. To answer in the vein, a UKIP/Tory coalition would probably bring the UK out of the EU long term, and therefore crashing the economy. So no money, lots of death from starving and the cold and the like, at a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though, then again, a foodbank theme team would be a shoo-in if the foodbank folded for lack of resources just after Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 19, 2015 You probably would get more responses if you'd just also designated it as a general general election discussion thread. Which you can still do with the handy editing feature. People are maybe sick of being asked to parlay this and that into deathpooling terms.

Are the Monster Raving Loony Party fielding a candidate this time round? Yeah, I know one of them who lives near me, he's definitely standing and - ironically - the last time I spoke to him he was bemoaning the Loony's showing in the Rochester by-election. They got something like 198 votes short of the Lib Dems and my mate's argument was that too many other fringe parties had intervened. Without these other loons, he reckoned, his lot would have overtaken the Lib Dems, caused a minor sensation and snagged some new members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the late 70s I went to commission some electrical equipment we had supplied to a U.K. oil refinery. The equipment was certified for use in an area that is likely to contain an explosive gas and it was plugged into an ordinary 13 amp socket. When I queried this I was told that one side of the painted line on the floor was considered hazardous whilst the other side wasn’t. “Does the gas know that”, I asked. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
