I'm standing for Plaid

[1927]

It may come as a surprise to some of you, but after what I've been through the last 12 months I have massively changed the way I look at life and have just secured the signatures I need to stand in the local elections in the Vale of Glamorgan for Plaid Cymru.
I dont believe I have a hope of overturning the labour majority, but wtf, Give me 4 yrs and I'm having it.
Whatever happens it will be an experience, and the limited bit of canvassing Ive done already makes me think that it might even be possible this year.
Wish me luck folks, and if anyone wants to help with leafletting let me know!

Good luck in your attempt to become part of the solution.

You best pay a cursory glance over everything you've said on here. Because if you look like a threat, theres going to be lots of people routing through your bins.

Have you got a battle bus?

 

[Belushi]

Da Iawn 1927! Ymlaen!

 

[Shirl]

Good luck. It's great that you sill have the energy and enthusiasm for this after the year you've had. I hope you do well and look forward to watching your political career

 

[TitanSound]

I foresee a "sex for tickets" scandal.

Well, I would do if you'd hurry up and bone Ms Single Mum

 

[wayward bob]

Tbh its the last year that has given me the energy and enthusiasm to do this. I have always been an opionated so and so ( as I'm sure people realise from my posts on here), but going thru the family courts as a litigant in person and fighting my corner on my own has taught me I can prepare a good argument, can be diplomatic when required and that I can restrain myself when needed. I also realised that I am a more caring individual than even I gave myself credit for and that far from being the tory boy that many people believe me to be i am actually a social-ist,(as opposed to a socialist), if that make sense.

Seeing as the newly elected leader of the party is also a member, albeit has a post count in single figures, I'll defend my membership here!

I don't know what to say

Do you still think we can't afford the NHS?

 

[1927]

Do you still think we can't afford the NHS?

I certainly think that we have to decide whether it should be an all encompassing free service or whether there are certain types of operation/drugs that we cant afford. As technologies improve, procedures that were not available 20 yrs ago become run of the mill, as time goes on the impact of these extra procedures will ultimately mean a larger and larger proportion of the nation's wealth will have to be spent on the NHS. To take it to an extreme, if a drug became available which would guarantee that everyone cold live to be 120 would it be something that should be available for free?

Will you answer the question?

I did.

[Lock&Light]

He did answer the question.

 

[geminisnake]

Good luck with it mate. I hope you kick some Labour arse!! I would love to help if you weren't so far away!!

What was his answer?

 

[Citizen66]

No, life enhancing treatments should only be available to those of considerable private wealth.

 

[1927]

What was his answer?

I think everyone else understood the answer.

What's cheaper, keyhole surgery or slicing someone open?

 

[butchersapron]

I didn't see an answer. I saw you saying that you think we have to decide whether to have the classic NHS or not - which is pretty much the question that you were being asked.
