Any conservatives in the house?

**Major König** · March 23, 2006, 10:42 AM

Are there any conservatives belonging anywhere on the right in TWC? Also, just a warning, political debates will happen here.

Yes of course there are a lot of conservatives and rightists on TWC.

I suspect you posted this topic just to use that little picture.

**Perikles** · March 23, 2006, 10:48 AM

I am a Conservative, on most issues.
There are a lot of conservatives and rightests on TWC, I thought you would have known that! Anyway, why would anyone not be a conservative....
(waits for political debate)

I knew, I just wanted to see the exact number. The little picture was fun too. I also knew huge debates would erupt when liberals moseyin on in here.

I'm a member of the British Conservative Party, argh!

**Bwaho** · March 23, 2006, 10:54 AM

I'm a member of the British Conservative Party, argh

do you wear a black top hat and complain about the lower class?

**Major König** · March 23, 2006, 10:54 AM

That is awesome. I'm not up to date on British politics, but how many representatives do you have in parliament?

**Perikles** · March 23, 2006, 10:56 AM

I'm not old enough to be a member of the Conservative party but, I can't see myself voting for any other party when I am older.
The Liberals seem to have a lot of stupid policies to me, they have some good ones, but in their newsletter thing we seem to get every week they said that murderers should not be punished! Labour is corrupt and seems to stand for most things that I don't, the BNP and the Green's are also too extreme, so I would call my self a conservative.

In American (why do we always need to fit in the stupid 'left/right'-system from America) I would consider myself not-conservative, simply because I disagree with the Iraq-war, gun-legality, and other 'conservative' themes. This does not mean I'm 'liberal' either (I don't know a sole thing about American liberals).

Leftist, sure, but a majority of Europeans is 'leftist' compared to American terms.

Are you sure they said murderers shall not be punished? I, in all my fifteen and a half years on earth, could never fathom that..

They probably didn't say it like that. Dramatising policies of the 'opposing' party can justify your own political choice.

I don't support the Iraq war or gun-legality, but I am still a conservative.

They said that murderers should be put in rehabilitation day centres and not pnished at all! I am not dramatising at all....The unlimited immigration thing put me off the liberals as well, but yet I support the idea of 50% tax for people earning over £100,000. Like I said I am a conservative on most issues.

Also, I heard the BNP's were Nazi's and were in league with skinheads and what not. True?

*snooping liberal pokes is noses in to see what the tories are upto*

"do you wear a black top hat and complain about the lower class?"
occasionally but mainly they just laugh at cockenys and northeners

seeing as your up for it...

Consrevatism doesn't work. it's clear to see that as we move towards a increasingly liberal society and economy global quality of life is improving directly due to liberal advances.

p.s. don't kill me

**Major König** · March 23, 2006, 11:05 AM

I knew it! But really, all liberals think about are the middle class. What about those displaced people from Katrina? How is their standard of life? Somalia? Yugoslavia? Anywhere in Africa?

I think they'll accept any help and (good) future regardless of what faction brings it to them.

)

As a member of the 'working class' I obviously care more about the working class. I don't believe that any political party is affiliated with a certain class anymore. The Conservatives seem to be all about 'Social Justce' while Labour is selling off peerages to donors of it's party.

oops, double post, sorry

As a newly patronized member of your house I forgive you...

**Sétanta** · March 23, 2006, 05:19 PM

Conservative is my middle name

**Major König** · March 23, 2006, 11:12 AM

I think they would. I'm just pointing out that the global quality of life hasn't really been improved just because there are democracies. I'm just saying how I heard it.

It depends on what time you are comparing common day with.

**Major König** · March 23, 2006, 11:16 AM

Let us say ten years ago. I believe because of technology and the fact that today's factories can pump out so many products, people will get hold of them. And because of this, quality of life is increased. But only because of technology, not ideology.

It is essential to explain why quality of life increases with the number of products one can get hold of, if you want us to understand why you believe that last sentence.

But of course, technology and science have greatly influenced life-quality. Progress, in other words.

They said that murderers should be put in rehabilitation day centres and not pnished at all! I am not dramatising at all....

You could say rehabilitation is a punishment as well. Not a bad thought, though crimes should indeed be punished.

..., but yet I support the idea of 50% tax for people earning over £100,000.

Good to hear. :sweatingb

Like I said I am a conservative on most issues

Whatever. As long as we don't fall in extremes. *cough* Drak *cough* (I wonder when he'll show up)
