Yep, it's one of those phases when the extremist parties pop out to play.

We all know about the BNP (well some one had to make the current crop look good! :-D) amongst others, but here's one that's got my attention:

([URL]http://www.respectcoalition.org[/URL])


What do you think?



They've certainly got my interest, especially over the ethics.
Also, as you read more you find that they're not simply an anti-war protest, although this is their main issue, it does extends a bit further than that. You can read tibits like their vision for London and why they're rejecting the European constitution (without all the "STAY BRITONS! KEEP THE POUND!!!!" tabloid malarky) to see what they're trying to achieve.

Basically, you know how all these protests happen, and not a blind bit of political notice is taken, you have to wonder why these millions or so of peoples don't just make their own party, which seems to have happened.

I know it's an old issue, but remember how Tony B sort of tricked us and manipulated us into seeing the Iraq situation rather than tricking and manipulating opposition on our behalf?
I think the general idea of the respect coalition is a party that works for us, not makes us work for them, you know. :-)


Whether they can realistically put their theories into practice remains to be seen, but I think it's worth a try.

Personally I just loathe most political parties anyway.

I want King Harry!

Personally I think they're an exercise in Galloway Self Gratification. Whilst I don't believe the Torygraph and their "Galloway received cash from Saddam!!" headlines, I do believe that the man is a slimy piece of self-aggrandising cockbutter who has the principles of a Grand Vizier in a Terry Pratchett book. A lot of the Respect coalitions ideals are sound, certainly when it comes to tolerance and ethics. However, they're founded on the (among other things) idea that the Moslem community can do no wrong, and all of societies ills are because of the white upper middle class. To me, that's as racist as the BNP, just with better PR. Whilst the Moslem community are undoubtedly suffering more because of ignorance, there are an awful lot of injustices and appalling acts committed by Moslems, against Moslems. That should really be addressed as well.

Of course, I have the bias of being a dyed-in-the-wool Libdem. Give them a go is what I say; the idea of a Lib-Lab coalition as our next government would suit me. The Libs don't have enough political experience to form a government, and Labour shouldn't be allowed sole control any more. As for the tories...well, they continue to be a joke.
