They (as part of a party) should sell the benefits of a party not discredit othes.  Why, exactly, should people be deprived of the right to discredit a political party?  That would mean political parties would be beyond criticism....

angle20 Â Â 10 #17 Posted May 2, 2006 Searchlight are just a campaigning group, not a party. There's something rather sinister and undemocratic, however, about an organisation which doesn't put up candidates itself but devotes itself to attacking people who do submit themselves to the democratic process.

youwhatref   10 #19 Posted May 2, 2006 Why, exactly, should people be deprived of the right to discredit a political party? That would mean political parties would be beyond criticism....  The easiest thing for any party is discrediting those who are in power. The hardest part of the job comes when they are in power which is a shame as they often dont sell their own agenda (or keep it hidden)  I just disagree with this 'dont vote' view or criticising a partys policies. Why not tell me instead what you would do for my constituency or country??  Is it right for the Torys to go round asking voters not to vote for Labour? Why not say 'Vote for Tory because.....'?  I thought thats what politicians did.. at least Mr Camerons been having a really good bash at it this week....  That is what they have done?? So the Torys would be squeeky clean?  Does that include leaders of the major religions as they, too, are asking people not to vote for single issue racist parties?....  Good question Max as this can be seen differently? It's something i'd have to give thought to without an off the cuff reply but again you may have religious leaders asking ppl not to vote for the BNP beacuse of their racist views (fair comment) but then you may get a Muslim leader asking ppl not to vote for the BNP when a Respect candidate is standing in the same ward. As Respect have the 'pro-Muslim' stigma then it coudl be viewed differently???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
