Can I become Prime minister?

Post by Fbac » Thu Apr 11, 2013 6:44 pm

With no qualifications in politics, self taught from classes in economics and reading.

To propose a "unselfish capitalism" system as mentioned by Oliver James

Join the "monster raving luny party" and hand out fliers saying "The topics in this party are all silly, we know that here is some information on unselfish capitalism. (I was thinking an info-gram-pic showing how political changes have moved the UK from an unselfish to selfish capitalism)
((The idea behind this is that we all know they are a non-serious party, thus the votes they do get must be "throw away votes" and hopefully come from people believing that labor or tori are the same and that voting makes no difference but yet they want to make the point they are not voting labor/tor)


To the question the "rich control the media, the politics, etc etc" surely with the internet and that now seems like a time where people are willing to ask questions about societal change there is some light at the end of this dream like tunnel?

ideas????

(This is just a quick summery of what I am thinking but am curious to know what others think)

the prime minister is the leader of the majority party, not voted in by citizens, so unless your party pops off...no

sounds like you should start a british chapter of the rhino party

Step 1: Get born into wealth.
Step 2: Goto a G20 school.
Step 3: Study PPE at Oxbridge or St. Andrews.
Step 3.5: Choose political alliance based on how racially diverse your rugga team is.
Step 4: Work at Daddy's law firm or Mummy's financial firm.
Step 5: Become Spad (see 3.5).
Step 6: Become party leader with the help of party donors(see Step 4) and media outlets.
Step 7: PM...Lie through your fucking teeth and cling on to power at any cost, while making global connections for the inevitable demise of your groomed political career.

^So I guess the real question is, "Is it worth joining a party hoping to change its ideals to help towards "unselfish capitalism" OR "Start a new party based upon these ideals for change"


Go figure the Uk has the most frivolous partys

You could migrate to Oz
where you don't need Pedo's list
and it still helps to be an ex-Pom
(both PM & opposition leader)
or you could become a backroom boy/spinmeister
(like our PM's British advisor, Ian McTernen, ex-Tony Blair tactician)
and push your radical agendum without having to be televisual.

(I'm assuming you're ugly and poor...poor because your trying to compensate for lack of wealth by espousing unselfishness and ugly because rich people tend to breed with the better-looking amongst the plebs so that, over generations, the poor become bereft of the genes for attractive symmetry...personally, I must have a well-to-do ancestor (maybe the Brummy arms manufacturer that got done for forgery) because I'm half symmetrical)

One of the planks of my platform will be drug testing: everybody'll have to try 'em at least once. :cornlol:

I wish everyone would do the former...then it wouldn't really matter which party.
Maybe if you joined the Monster Raving Luny Party, you could become the Prime Monster.

If you have anything that can defame you in office, it will defame you, unless you were very sly about it.

David Cameron smoked weed at uni but because he acts all anti-drugs and his rich friends won't say shit no-one's got anything on him. He was also a member of the Bullingdon Club as well, basically just smashed shit up but paid at least twice over so never got charged as the proprietors never complained.

a bit easier would be to:

1. Move to the states
2. Enjoy lengthy career of ridiculous action movies and bodybuilding
3. Then become governor of most populous state in worlds most powerful country

Interesting, il have a look into McTennen,
Im not entirely sure why im interested in unselfish motives when you put it like that. Maybe due to growing up in a less selfish capatilist society like germany for many years has had an impact on my perception of UK society over the past 10 years.
As of now i dont see the point in making music (an intrinsic value of mine) , nor want to put children into this world, feel like without change it would be best to move to japan or norway.
Im also fairly symetrical O__O maybe were both lost royalty! lol.

Also the belief that "genes" determine us seems to be a firm mindset with people i speak with, that nature is more important then nurture, whereas the enviroment/society seems to have some pretty good evidence that it is the dominante of the two in developing behavior.


@Deadly Habit: I would vote for you, and if you are seriouse I will Fb my american friends you message to help your campaign.. (please officially change your name to "dirty habit" tho)
