  • Why are Brits talking about Scottish referendum?

    When the European elections are sooner. Has the entire country just forgotten to write that into their collective calendar. For all you know SNP, EDL and UKIP could become the three largest parties in the country. The Scottish referendum could become a fait accompli.

  • Now that the talks in Geneva have failed will Syrians be allowed to rule themselves?

    These negotiations were all about getting the two sides together which should have happened in 2011. Now that they are finally working for the Syrian people is it not time for Syrians to take back their country from the outsiders. Mercenaries,militias and thugs who have no interest and never had any interest in seeing Syrians working towards peace but instigating wars and Wahhabism. It was the intentions of major players like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran & even smaller countries like Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine to unload their threats onto the people of Syria. Al Nusra was not set up in Syria for tourism reasons.

  • Why does politics reflect society 30 to 50 years past?

    Politics is way behind in terms of what society is behaving like. Also economics also well ahead of the game. For example the Libertarian party is the US was big in the 70's but it is only now we see Libertarian parties. Also parties here in Europe were already euro sceptic as far back as the early 1980's yet only now are they making any impact.

    Shouldn't politics reflect society at that point in time then over time politicians can learn and move on from mistakes instead of having huge parties that just recruit large numbers of members and build up over decades until they control all institutions of power in a country. Would not multiparty pluralism work better?

  • A question to all British spies out there?

    Are you bugging the Gardaí Siochana? I know during the troubles you had the entire state and various IRA organisations infiltrated. Are you doing it again? We know you spy on your own people but we are a separate country and if you want to know about our criminals all you have to do is make it public instead of spying on us. If indeed you are bugging us which is by no means the case but in light of the history of your country and the intelligence community being involved in all sorts of spying allegations this affair is right up your alley.

  • Why do people keep using the political spectrum?

    From Left to Right when the 20th and 21st centuries have discredited it. The Nazis were Far Right but by today's standards they would be comparable to Anarchist while Libertarianism have some conservative principals yet are totally at odds with Islamism and corporatism.

    It defeats the purpose to apply such terms as left wing or right wing, liberal or conservative. You can be socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Then we have the Greens, Communists and socialists who are different again. Some are Eco fascists while others are Progressive Democrats.

    I smile at those who call Global Warming a hoax because they take the Green agenda way too seriously. I also know of many left of centre parties adopting populist measures that come across as down right Fascist.

  • If Obama is a fascist does that make Assad a Democrat?

    According to Conservatives you seem to really believe that Obama is a dictator so assuming for a moment that he is then would I be correct in saying that since technically Assad is fighting a war on terrorism.

  • Will the Reagan Republicans and Goldwater Republicans ever reconcile?

    In time to challenge the next Democratic incumbent.

    Your words not mine, I am just making sense of the rhetoric that is out there. I could easily have put it like this

    Will the Tea Party fanatics and GOP Rino's take on the liberal marxist Democrats?

    Either way the question is valid. A split in the Republican party that pits Libertarians against Oligarchs. Is an alliance on the table or not.

  • A Question for Republicans?

    Putting aside whatever suspicions and dislikes you may have for Democrats. I don't care as I am an outsider from the other side of the Atlantic and am not interested in these political divisions. But be honest and I am not trying to provoke any side here.

    Which states in America should be bankrupt based on the current economic picture? I was watching a YouTube clip of the Daily Show and it was making fun of the endemic corruption of New Jersey. Now to me it seems that this is not a joke and that realistically their should be several American states that should be bankrupt. The corruption was scary, organ trading and mean yikes!

    So without getting into the political rhetoric which States either Democrat controlled or not have lost he plot completely?
