Could we do it,there seems to be a wide range of knowledge here or as bears in the majority would we never take risks with anything and the country end up stagnating.

What would our policys be and who would we have as our leader ??

p.s I know a fat scottish bloke that could take on Brown in parliament.

Seriously could it be done and what would it cost ?

One of the genuinely brilliant things about the UK is that we are one of the most open democractic systems in the world. Remember the Raving Loonies?
It's pretty easy to start a party, and costs... £150.

Bargain.

There is hassle running it, but a lot of information can be found at the electoral commision

"Applying to register a party
In order to register a political party, a group must submit the following information to us:

an application form giving details of: the party name, at least two party officers, where in the UK the party is to be registered, and whether the party will have any accounting units
a copy of the party's constitution
a financial scheme showing how the party will comply with the financial controls
a fee of £150 (please note that once submitted, the fee can not be refunded)
We cannot register a party if it fails to supply all the relevant information, and can refuse to register a party if it considers that the name of the party may cause offence or confusion with other parties.

Please refer to the document Guidance on registering as a political party - party registration for more information about registering a political party."

You can set up your own political party for a small fee £60 i think.

The problem is that every candidate has to put up a deposit of £500 for the parlementary election which he will lose if he doesn't get 1/20th of the vote.
In a typical consistuancy this means out of 35000 votes, he has to secure about 2000 votes. As half of all people do not vote, I think this is turns into about 1/10th of the vote.

However there is no deposit needed for local elections where you can stand as a alternative councellor.

why look to men ? perhaps we should look to a higher authority to guide us from this mess

Crating a political party? What a wonderful idea. I'd like to put every last Labour MP into crates, label them 'Deliver to: Moqtada al-Sadr, Falluja, Iraq', then ring DHL up and have them collect. I suspect the shipping bill would be a little more than £150, but it would be worth every penny.

Sorry - couldn't resist.

Not another woman!

You're right! We should look to women!

Get back in the kitchen

Not until I've hidden the knives

Not a problem if you chain them to the cooker.

No response from Skinty. Do you think she did as she was told?

You keep promising to chain me to the kitchen sink but every time I suggest it you say that you have a headache ...

Next time your mother goes away for the weekend, I promise

With Marigolds? I do like to wear rubber ...

What do you prefer? Yellow or black?

Oh my good God.

What is this site coming to?

Somebody makes a mispelt (sp) call to political arms and it gets hijacked by rubber fetishists.

And a Christian.

So, which do you prefer?

Yellow or black?

Yellow. Those thick black rubber gloves are used for cleaning out toilets and I am not that way inclined.

That's just ... kinky.

Didn't you say you were half German though?
