    That would have been good. But then maybe it would allow ovarian cancer deserving c*nts like the women's equality party to gain influence. That would not be good.
    Extremist = Anyone outside of the establishment party bubble?

    I thought you had got the argument that free speech includes free speech for people we disagree with. This principle extends to democracy. I don't know what the Women's Equality Party would like to do, but if I disagreed with them I wouldn't be afraid to debate their politics. And surely nor would you.

    Don't worry, I get all of that. I was merely ruminating on the various permutations and how it would be useful right now for there to be 50+ UKIP MPs. On balance, however, I think I'm with Berni.

    The Women's Equality Party would make you lick clean the menstrual emissions from their universal, state-provided, reusable sanitary towels as a reparation for your crimes as a member of the patriarchy.

    Nobody's got time for all that debating stuff because they have lives. That's what democracy is really about; taking responsibility for yourself and your family and dealing with the consequences of your decisions and actions. The only people who have the time and inclination to discuss anything with whichever random lunatic syndicate happens to hove into view is those that are unwilling or unable to accept this.

    In any case, it would never be a case of me disagreeing with them; I don't need to, I already know what's right for me and my family and my community and my environment. And it's all non-negotiable in any case; I haven't got the time to negotiate it, I've got children to feed.
