Conservatives, forget the politics for the moment. Show you care about our Armed Forces personnel, past and present. Well done Michael, lets see a few more poppies on people's profile pictures until the 11th Hour, of the 11th Day, of the 11th month.

Plant a virtual poppy for the British Legion.

Thank you.

Good luck Ruth!!!

If we can make it into a respectable 3rd place then it'll be a good result.

You muppet

Great interview. He got Cammo just right.

Well if Scotland goes fully independent then Labour is f'd in England because it will lose a whole swathe of safe seats, not very bright of them not very bright at all.

In Scotland the Council Tax has not gone up for two years and probably won't rise next year. It's a good bribe from the SNP who choose to spend their UK allocation as they think fit.
Any party proposing a future large increase in Council Tax is not likely to gain many votes.

I don't know about that Nishil. Time moves on and all that.....

A good start is the repatriating of the Social and Employment Policy. A precedence has already been set by the Germans on this one.

"... the German Constitutional Court in its ruling on the Lisbon Treaty earlier this year, the EU has incrementally extended its powers in this area and overstepped its mark – below the radar of public scrutiny. The Court identified this area as “especially sensitive” for the ability of a country “to democratically shape itself”1 and consequently ruled that the EU should have limited powers over social policy.

After reading further, a thought on The Treaty of Lisbon has occurred to me....

What of the Royal Prerogative on behalf of the British Crown? One of the things it is used for, is for the ratifications of Treaties. Last time I looked, the power of the Crown was still held in Trust by the Executive. This is always passed on to following Governments. The British Crown is the higher authority and its sovereignty stands behind and above Parliament.

It would appear that the Labour Government has handed the Royal Prerogative over to the European Union. This means that not just Parliament is now subservient to the EU, so is the Crown. If this is true, Labour is guilty of Sedition against The State. Only the Crown can give away the Royal Prerogative. Parliament does not have the power.... Read more

It can be argued that when Brown ratified the Lisbon Treaty, he signed it without the authority of the Crown and the ratification could be void. The question raised is, did the Queen give the Royal Prerogative away to the European Union? If not, the Labour Government must surely be guilty of Sedition against The State.

It doesn't need to stay that way Chris/Thomas. "Vote for Change" is exactly what it states. We will turn this country around and make it a place you can be proud of again.

maybe more funds would be raised if Central Office stopped enforcing candidates on constituencies without regards to local Associations.

I agree Paul. One area of DC's thinking I don't like!

Good start, after all wisdom is not gained through on open mouth lots more of these kind of initiatives would be good.
