Thanks for letting us have a forum on h2g2 where we can discuss the election.

Does anyone think we need an Edited Guide Entry on The Representation of the People Act, so that non-UKians will know what is going on?

Actually I think this is probably a good thing for Non-UKians on h2g2, it means that they can avoid being bored with details of the UK elections.

Count yourself lucky! At least on h2g2 you'll have some election free conversation.

I have to say I'm impressed with the conversation already on the election page, the quality of the debate so far seems great.

Sadly, my only intellectual conversation over there involved bitching about the spelling of "spamming"... smiley - blush

As long as we don't cuss or curse the candidates - new rules.

Are UK politics really boring. From some of the stories I read I thought they could be fairly exciting.

Keeping an eye out but still staying Ziiiiped. (mostly)

'Are UK politics really boring.'

Like a lot of things, it takes a particular kind of mind...

It's more interesting than Irish politics. All our parties are the exact same.

crazy, so the BBC are impartial, but the contributors don't work for the beeb, so why can't we express our views about individual politicians, crazy, don't worry, I am sure points will be made with careful wording. For instance, I intend to vote for a Party that is truthful, whose leader would never lie to the country about real big world issues, a leader who is sincere. Not much choice have we. So I have not named a politician or party but everone knows the truth.

Golly, sure wish we had such a party and such a person. When he wins could you have him come over and shake hands with our politicians. Maybe some of it would rub off and we could get at least one honest man.

By the way, What do they mean when they say not to start a new thread here?

Hey, thanks. This is seriously a step up from "The Great Debate" forum. Hope this goes well and eventually political statements can be made anywhere on h2g2 at any time.
