I just had the most ridiculous debate with someone over msn.
I dont know who he is but I was up for a debate, and by having 'Vote for Change, Vote LibDem' as his screename he was an easy target....
Caroline: oh and what about tax? lib dems are going to raise tax beyond belief!
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem' : no only for the rich, the people earning less will pay less,which went up under labour
Caroline : if thats the case, wheres the incentive to work hard and earn lots of money? If its just going to be taxed off you? It will mean an eventualy dumbing-down of britain
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': true
for Change,Vote Lib Dem': true, been campaging around my local area for the last month for the lib dems and the same with my mate up in sheffield
Caroline: lol but you just agreed with me on why the lib dems tax plans are idiotic!
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': yer that's possibly there only flaw in there manifesto
Caroline: early prisoner release for murderers and sex offenders?
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem' : ok maybe the murder one, but should be sent to a rehab centre
Caroline: what are Lib Dems going to do about electronic tagging for released prisoners? Thats what I want to know. I should imagine they are going to keep it.
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': they should it's good
Caroline: haha
Caroline: I take it you didnt see the documentary on it the other week
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': nope
Caroline : its an absolute failure--the documentary showed how those that have been tagged can easily take them off, and dont stick to their curfews
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': oh right sounds like an intresting documentary, 2 be honest i don't watch 2 much tv, only thing i watch is ice hockey or baseball, i can't stand the other 80 percent of it
Caroline: and because that they havent been monitored propery, a woman was murdered in a jewellery shop robbery, by a man who should have been monitored as he was tagged.
'Vote for Change,Vote Lib Dem': ah shit that's bad
And the crazy thing is this guy has been going around as a campaigner for Lib Dems, yet he dosnt even understand the full implications of his parties policies!
....pretty much like Charles Kennedy himself then ...haha
