Reading the threads and posts on here its obvious that the war in Iraq is a major issue to a lot of people. Probably the party with the most critical stance on this are Respect. Looking at the polls from the elections the Respect party have been hammered by the mainstream parties and mini parties including the BNP.

Other issues like the environment are big talking points but the green parties only votes appear to be members of their own family and next door neihbours. If the environment and the war are important issues why did these two parties fair so badly.

Another puzzling thing was Labour being elected in Burngreave. Having worked in this area I think its safe to say there are a significant amount of muslims. Surely they wouldn't have voted for the party who's creating havoc in the middle east? Well they must have.

The Tories continued to be ignored. It's seen as an act of treason, in some areas, to vote for them. They might as well pack it in.

Well I dint know who to vote for, whatever happened to Kilroy?

Respect are nothing but a bunch of extreme nutters and apologists for suicide bombers. They make the BNP look positively moderate by comparison.

He joined UKIP got elected as an MEP then left to join another party called Veritas then got involved in a row over racism and is currently an independent MEP, UKIP are not happy about this as they got him the seat and reckon it's theirs not his so he should resign
