We all know they are not very bright, hence why I'm not surprised they know anything about British Politics.

Do they know what Labour stand for?

Or Conservatives?

Or the other parties?

Where did they get the idea that Labour is a party that encourages people to sit on their ass and not work?

Let me just prove you lot wrong in ONE graph:

Labour came into power in 1997, and ever since employment was on the decline, not to forget people claiming Jobseekers allowance has also declined! Unemployment increased only because of the financial crisis.

LABOUR!
:clap:

:roll:

I'm guessing Labour would be equivelant to our Democrats, and Conservative to Republican?

What are Blaire and Brown?

Salam Aleykum Sister,

Skinnies support parties that support welfare: Labor in the UK, and Democrats in the USA.


Btw, my condolences about the loss :rose: Now you know how we felt when Al Gore lost to Bush :up:

Abdikarim86,

I will make a du'a that your jobseeker allowance is not cut :up:


WestldnShawty,

I find British politics to be more interesting and fun. I love how your BBC goes after the politicians with hard hitting questions or those debates in the House of Commons :clap:

Shirib,

More or less; yes!

Blair and Brown are both Labour prime ministers. Blair was the one that took England to the Iraq war and was also the one that moved labour party close to the left-center, traditionally labour is a left party with socialist ethos. Brown took over from Blair, he is the current Prime minister.

Abdiwahab,

Walikum Salaam dear :rose:

Skinnies should support parties that help the disfranchised and I'm sorry to say but they come in Labour and Democracts. The Labour party works for everybody, the Tories aka Conservatives work for the rich. As a refugee seeker the chances that your are rich in England is slim. So we need all the help we can go up the ladder of society, plus if everyone is going up the country is going up. :up:

We haven't lost aboowe. :lol: Well it is yet not clear that Labour lost. I think the Lib dems should join forces with LABOUR. They have always been similar in terms of policies, but if Nick Clegg decides to join with the Conservatives, I'll never forgive him. :cry: :evil:

Horta, the BBC are nauseatingly pro-Conservatives. The Ugly Bastards! Last night I was so pissed off with them, I was looking for more impartiality.



Sadiq Khan held his seat of tooting!
:clap: :clap:

Ealing Southall, is LABOUR! :clap:

Warsan,

Darling, I see. To be honest, I'd vote for Labor if I was living in the UK. The Liberal Dems are a naive lot.

However, your Tories are nothing like our Republicans. They are much more moderate Conservatives.

Anywayz, Fataxada noo mar that Cameron doesn't become PM.
