SHOULD THE QUEEN DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT NOW.

Everything related to politics in Cyprus and the rest of the world.

SHOULD THE QUEEN DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT NOW.

Postby miltiades » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:47 am

Complete and utter corruption of our MPs has led to many people now calling for the dissolution of Parliament and fresh elections to be announced . This could happen after the results of this Thursday's EU parliamentary elections which would see Labour's share of the vote slump to an all time law.
Respect for MPs and Parliament is at its lowest level ever and disillusioned citizens are likely to turn against the incumbent government of George Brown in support for fringe parties , including the BNP.
When the UK Home Secretary lowers herself to the level of a prostitute thieving from clients with her utterly disgraceful behaviour in claiming for adult films as well as a myriad of other so called expenses in reality nothing more than "nicking money out of the till" then its high time that Parliament is dissolved by the Monarch .

This great nation faces a mammoth task in restoring some level of confidence and trust in our parliamentarians. Both the Prime Minister and the Conservative leader ought to hang their heads in shame .
Is it time then for HM The Queen to exercise her constitutional powers and pronounce the dissolution of Parliament calling for immediate elections ? The British public will be in full support , no doubt about that .
What do you think.

I’m behind you Miltiades, but I think we are both a bit too old to fight a revolution but, you have to admit it could be a very rewarding experience to discuss when we are really old?

The problem is that although the British people are ‘angry, very angry’ they don’t have a central figure to focus that anger and change the system. In every revolution there is a leader, in the UK there is no one I can think of, that I would follow into battle and to hell with the consequences, which I suppose is the basis of a revolution. The whole country is aware that things have to change but there is no one (except Joanna Lumley???) out in front banging the drum.

I cannot help thinking, why do all the parties have a down on the BNP? After all, according to what I read they are a minor party led by a bunch of racists with no hope at all of getting any form of representation in the UK parliament, let alone form a government. Or, is it that their manifesto is far more reflective of what the people want, than any of the major parties want us to have and the others feel they do have something to fear. It seems to be OK for the Scots to fight for Scottish rights, and for the Welsh to fight for theirs, that is not considered to be racially motivated, but with the English it seems not to be the done thing to fight for English rights for English people, as some politically correct un-elected council job’s worth charges you with racism or some form of political extremism.

Does not seem to be a level playing field........................

There is of course the Royal family to rally around! The Queen remains as the constitutional Head of State and how about the Duke of Edinburgh for Prime Minister, put Harry in as Forces Minister, William into the Home Office and Charles could become Agricultural Minister. Edward could be the Minister for arts and Andrew could be Foreign Secretary!!!! I could be talked into giving up my retirement, for the good of the people and become Canceller of the Exchequer. Then, set a guillotine up in Trafalgar Square and have a reverse French revolution and this time execute all the MP’s, Bankers and civil servants that have robbed the British people blind over the last 20-30 years.



p.s. I wrote to Nick Klegg about 3 days ago and gave him the benefit of my vast experience and guess what, he actually replied and thanked me for my suggestions :roll: (Well, his communications officer did!!!).........which is a bloody site more than I have ever got from even a minor civil servant in the Cyprus Government. :evil:

The "Politics and Elections" section is the right place for a topic like this. Where does it say that it’s a Cyprus-only forum?

Come on Oracle, never judge a book by its cover ????– I read so many accusations about the BNP being another name for Nazi’s, bring back extermination camp’s, shoot all immigrants etc. etc., I thought I would have a look out of interest and see what they had to offer. Now, this is not to say this would actually happen if in their wildest dreams they actually did get in but, tell me which party has ever actually stuck to its manifesto once it got into power. So I ignored the party title and just looked at what they say they would do, it does not look THAT extreme to me……………..by the way I am not a BNP Party member, nor any other party come to that, if I was anything I would be more Lib/Dem than the other main parties……………………..

IMMIGRATION — time to say ENOUGH!
On current demographic trends, we, the native British people, will be an ethnic minority in our own country within sixty years.
To ensure that this does not happen, and that the British people retain their homeland and identity, we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question.
We will abolish the ‘positive discrimination’ schemes that have made white Britons second-class citizens. We will also clamp down on the flood of ‘asylum seekers’, all of whom are either bogus or can find refuge much nearer their home countries.

EUROPE — back to British independence!
We are opposed to the Single European Currency, and support the overwhelming majority of the British people in their desire to keep the Pound and our traditional weights and measures. At the same time, we are for the best possible relationship with our European neighbours and believe that the nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial, though without being forced into a political and economic straitjacket – political unification. Accordingly, we stand for British withdrawal from the European Union. In place of the EU, we intend to aim towards greater national self-sufficiency, and to work to restore Britain’s family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and to trade with the rest of the world as it suits us. Following our withdrawal from the EU, the BNP will use the £43 million per day net contribution Britain at present makes to the European Union to fund many far more useful projects at home.

LAW AND ORDER — crack down on crime!
The BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence. We will free the police and courts from the politically correct straitjacket that is stopping them from doing their job properly. The liberal fixation with the ‘rights’ of criminals must be replaced by concern for the rights of victims, and the right of innocent people not to become victims. We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals, and the restoration of capital punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers as an option for judges in cases where their guilt is proven beyond dispute, as by DNA evidence or being caught red-handed.

ECONOMY — British workers first!
Globalisation, with its export of jobs to the Third World, is bringing ruin and unemployment to British industries and the communities that depend on them. Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers. When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end, and secure, well-paid employment will flourish, at last getting our people back to work and ending the waste and injustice of having more than 4 million people in a hidden army of the unemployed concealed by Labour’s statistical fiddles. We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people. To that end we will restore our economy and land to British ownership. We also call for preference in the job market to be given to native Britons. We will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants. Finally we will seek to give British workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterprises whose profits their labour creates by encouraging worker shareholder and co-operative schemes

EDUCATION — discipline, standards, achievement!
We are against the ‘trendy’ teaching methods that have made Britain one of the most poorly educated nations in Europe. We will end the practice of politically correct indoctrination in all its guises and we will restore discipline in the classroom, give authority back to teachers and put far greater emphasis on training young people in the industrial and technological skills necessary in the modern world. We will also seek to instill in our young people knowledge of and pride in the history, cultures and heritage of the native peoples of Britain.

AGRICULTURE — quality before quantity!
We see a strong, healthy agriculture sector as vital to the country. Britain’s farming industry will be encouraged to produce a much greater part of the nation’s need in food products. Priority will be switched from quantity to quality, as we move from competing in a global economy to maximum self-sufficiency for Britain. We will ensure a major shift to healthier and more sustainable organic farming. We are pledged to ensure the restoration of Britain’s once great fishing industry with the reimposition of the former exclusion zones around our coast.

HEALTH — first-class healthcare for all!
We are wholly committed to a free, fully funded National Health Service for all British citizens. We will revitalise the Health Service by boosting staff and bed numbers, slashing unnecessary bureaucracy and by addressing the root cause of low recruitment and retention — low pay. We will see to it that no money is given in foreign aid while our own hospitals are short of beds and the staff to run them. More emphasis must be placed on healthy living with greater understanding of sickness prevention through physical exercise, a healthier environment and improved diets.

TRANSPORT — time to invest!
Increased investment is needed in Britain’s public transport system to bring it up to the highest standards in the world. The fiasco of rail privatisation with different companies running services and track leading to higher fares and lower safety also needs to be resolved. Congestion of our towns and cities must be eased by the provision of greater incentives to use rail and bus transport instead of private cars. The first step is to end the crime and squalor that puts so many people off public transport. Motorists must not be made the scapegoats for government failure. Fuel tax should be cut, motorway speed limits raised, and hidden speed cameras should be banned. Far more must be done to encourage the development and use of cleaner fuels.

ENVIRONMENT — a cleaner, greener future!
Our ideal for Britain is that of a clean, beautiful country, free of pollution in all its forms. We will enforce standards to curb those practices, whether by business or the individual, which cause environmental damage. “The polluter pays to clean up the mess” must become a fact of life, not an electioneering slogan. In towns we would work to replace the brutalist modernism of 1960s-style-architecture with a blend of traditional local styles and materials and ensure that developments take place on a more human scale.

FOREIGN AID — time to spend our money on our own people!
We reject the idea that Britain must forever be obliged to subsidise the incompetence and corruption of Third World states by supplying them with financial aid. We will link foreign aid with our voluntary resettlement policy, whereby those nations taking significant numbers of people back to their homelands will need cash to help absorb those returning. The billions of pounds saved every year by this policy will also be reallocated to vital services in Britain.

PENSIONERS — pensioners before asylum seekers!
The conditions in which many of Britain’s old people are forced to live are a national disgrace. We are pledged to ensure that all our old folk are able to live in comfortable homes, and will restore the earnings link with pensions. Elderly people who have paid a lifetime of taxes and reared families should not have to sell their homes to pay for care.
NORTHERN IRELAND — an end to sectarianism!
Britain has shamefully allowed the terrorists in Northern Ireland to come close to winning when the IRA could have been destroyed years ago. Government weakness has led to hundreds of deaths and given those same terrorists a share in government. We would end all attempts to force the people of Northern Ireland to accept foreign interference in their affairs and deal with terrorism — from whatever side — once and for all. No one with links to a terrorist organisation that refuses to lay down its arms should be allowed to enter government. We would abolish state-supported segregation in education. In the long run, we wish to end the conflict in Ireland by welcoming Eire as well as Ulster as equal partners in a federation of the nations of the British Isles.

DEFENCE — no more cuts!
Successive cuts in defence spending have left Britain’s armed forces perilously weak. We will boost Britain’s armed forces to ensure that they are able to deal with any emergency, and defend our homeland and our independence. We will bring our troops back from Germany and withdraw from NATO, since recent political developments make both commitments obsolete. We will close all foreign military bases on British soil, and refuse to risk British lives in meddling ‘peace-keeping’ missions in parts of the world where no British interests are at stake — a position of armed neutrality. We will also restore national service for our young with the option of civil or military service.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS — Britain’s interests first!
Britain’s foreign relations should be determined by the protection of our own national interest and not by our like or dislike of other nations’ internal politics. We would have no quarrel with any nation that does not threaten British interests. We will maintain an independent foreign policy of our own, and not a spineless subservience to the USA, the ‘international community’, or any other country.

DEMOCRACY — letting the people decide!
The British people invented modern Parliamentary democracy. Yet in recent years the British people have been denied their democratic rights. On issue after issue, the views of the majority of British people have been ignored and overridden by a Politically Correct ‘elite’ which thinks it knows best. On immigration, on Capital Punishment, on the surrender of British sovereignty to the EU and in numerous other areas, democracy has been absent as Labour, Tories and Lib-Dems conspire in election after election to offer the British people no real choice on such vital issues. The BNP exists to give the British people that choice, and thus to restore and defend the basic democratic rights we have all been denied. We favour more democracy, not less, not just at national but at regional and local level.

Power should be devolved to the lowest level possible so that local communities can make decisions which affect them. We will remove legal curbs on freedom of speech imposed by successive Governments over the last 40 years. We will implement a Bill of Rights guaranteeing fundamental freedoms to the British people. We will ensure that ordinary British people have real democratic power over their own lives and that Government, local and national, is truly accountable to the people who elect it.


Surely, it isn’t that bad, I don't agree with everything they propose but,………………….take it as it is presented, assume there are no hidden agendas and tell me with a totally unbiased opinion what the words say to you and why you agree or disagree.

" ... and the rest of the world" certainly covers it, interesting or not.

On the general topic of corrupt politicians, the info that is the subject of the thread is summat to bear in mind next time any Brits patronise other countries w.r.t. corruption amongst politicians.

It's outdated and short on vision. It was fine 100 years ago ... but what are you doing in a healthily multicultural Cyprus if the BNP "future" is so interesting to you?
