It's a cool lil election game, you can choose a party and you try and get your seats and stuff, it's great and realistic.
It costs £14.95, but I really think it's worth the money, so much fun!

I'm currently playing on Hard, as Labour with Ed and the torries have just taken the lead in the polls.
CON: 24.2
LAB: 23.5

Really? I support the stance of the Conservatives on tuition fees, on taxes, on education and on welfare. To name but a few. I don't think myself to be a mess. I think they have done what is best for the country.

Ever since the tuition fees mess I, like everyone else, dismissed the Lib Dems as an option. But after months of examining the alternatives and still not knowing which way to vote, I suddenly, yesterday, remembered that they are in fact still a party, they haven't vanished into thin air, and they probably do still represent my beliefs more than any of the others...
I'll admit though that I won't be voting for them with heaps of enthusiasm.

Is it possible for you to not resort to stupid petty insults when you're being educated? No wonder you people have such a bad reputation & none of us want you any more... ![Bibliotheque](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/biblio_zps23dff242.gif)

That's where I came from. My family is English and Scottish. I don't know why you can't comprehend. I also don't know why you insist on coming for me on this forum. Place me on your ignore list, and ignore the things I say. I can't be bothered with your pettiness anymore.

You're a British subject with a British passport, but your ass is not "not Irish". The place you are from is on an island called Ireland.

Yes they do... most would say Northern Irish or British.
What is this mess anyway? Supposedly progressive/liberal people attacking someone for not being British enough... sounds like UKIP/BNP speak. ![Bibliotheque](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/biblio_zps23dff242.gif)

I disagree. I think they put the interests of middle-income families and above first.

Come from Northern Ireland. Politically, I am not Irish. I do not have Irish citizenship. I am as much Irish as I am European, and I don't consider myself to be European.
My family are English and Scottish. Therefore, I consider myself to be British. Your ridiculous baseless hate against me is boring.

Speaking about Northern Ireland who's use to the United Kingdom expired after World War I when it's industry went down the shitter, creating a society of terrorists and bigots, ruled by thugs, and over 60% of it's GDP is reliant on the public sector. It's costing the UK so much money to keep that country afloat, and they literally have nothing to offer everybody else. Not to mention that everybody forgets about its existence & the only reason England keep it around is in case it starts trying to blow it up again.

This is like attacking a Canadian for saying they're not American.
Irish nearly always refers to the Republic of Ireland. And Northern Ireland is in Britain so the people can identify as Northern Irish, Irish or British.

You are from Ireland. You are Irish. Just like you're European, whether you like it or not.
PS people from Northern Ireland are entitled to equal citizenship. You might want to google The Belfast Agreement, "jus soli" & Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 2004.

I am British, you troll. Politically, I am a British citizen. That is my choice, and that is my truth. I just voted for the BRITISH Conservative Party in the BRITISH General Election.
Like I said, you don't seem to be able to let go of me, but please do. You are boring to me.

No it's not. There is actual legislature which I recommended to Darren detailing Irish citizenship. People can identify as whatever they want, but if I have black hair and I say I'm ginger, I still have black hair. If they were born in Ireland, they are Irish ( as well as British if they were born in Northern Ireland).
Also you are wrong. Northern Ireland is not in Britain, it is in the United Kingdom. Countries in Britain include: England, Scotland & Wales.
