If I were leader I would strip those not born here of their citizenships and have them to EARN it through 10yrs work in Britain on their best behaviour without rights of benefits until after 5 years.

i wasnt born here nor have i ever taken benifits nor ever been in trouble..so youd strip me of my citizenship for what? (been here since i was 5)

as for votes, not voting
 
Have you done your 10 years contribution of working? If so, then you should be allowed to keep your citizenship. If you have done 5 years work then yes you should be stripped of your citizenship until you have done your 10 years. If you aren't working or aren't filling a gap that cannot be filled by a British born citizen then you should be deported back to your homeland. If you're doing a job that cannot be filled by a British born citizen then you should be granted stay to do that work until you leave it, unless you've done your 10 years and have applied for citizenship. We should use immigrants for OUR benefit not for THEIR benefit. Immigrants need to earn their right to stay and they definitely need to earn their right to citizenship. It may sound harsh to you but that is my opinion. We are currently a soft touch for immigration and eventually it is going to change...
 
well since im not old enough to have DONE 10 years of work no i havent :D my parents have though...

do u know how ridiculous that sounds by the way? you cant strip people who have lived here for all their lives..
Having said that i do thing something needs to be done about immigration and benifit system. BUT stripping people is not the way
oh btw in my country of birth theres loads of brits who have migrated, should the same count for them?

What are you? a lawmaker or something?? seriously, immigration is not a big problem in UK as much as it is here on US-Mexico border. You dont see as much drug smuggling by immigrants there like you see on U.S. borders. If you lose your job, I think you should be deported aswell...to a mental facility.
 
So am I, Laura. I want to stay up all night to see who wins. But I've got college tomorrow, so...

Heck, just do both. Coffee and Lucozade will fuel you long enough. :statisfie
 
I never tell anyone who I vote for. I like to keep people guessing. It's fun.
 
I've voted Labor because I like my MP but not a fan of the party. I might stay up to watch the results but I might fall asleep in front of the TV.
 
I'm rubbish at staying up late, I don't think I'd manage. :P Hello by the way, you're the first Bhuddist I've met on here. :)
 
Since the election ended in a hung parliament, what happens now? Do they hold another vote?
 
I think a hung parliament may not be such a bad thing.
At least it means that not just one party is in power and can run away, doing what they like. Instead they will have to team up with one of the smaller parties (most importantly the LibDems) to get anywhere at all!

It also means that we have a good chance (with the LibDems as the driving power) to change the voting system to a fairer representation.

In yesterday's election, the Conservatives were voted by 36% of all voters ... but they gained 47% of all seats!
Labour were voted by 29% of all voters ... but gained 40% of all seats!
The LibDems were voted by 23% of all voters ... but only gained 11% of all seats!
How is that a fair voting system??! :heated:

Good news is that the BNP got nowhere!!

No, they try and run government. If it collapses, then yes another vote - and given the parliament composition I expect another election in a year. Perhaps with a slight change on the FPP.
 
Galloway.. a slimey character? You whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaat? I think he's brilliant.

He's very charismatic, but I wouldn't call him the most dignified and squeaky-clean of characters. He works on the Muslim vote for his anti-war, anti-american and anti-capitalist stance and founded basically a socialist party based on this. He also didn't win his seat this time round and neither did any other Respect candidates.

How can you just like that drive away people who have grown up in Britain all their life? Because there were no vacancies for them to work? How is that their fault? Aren't you being a bit too undrestanding or thoughtful..

By doing this it would leave more houses and jobs for British people,

I agree with few you've said, but some others I fully disagree with. On one hand you complain that if a person doesn't work for a reason that might be as well acceptable (which you seem to be fully inconsiderate of "If they leave that job then they should be made to leave the country immediately." ), one the other hand you claim that they shouldn't get jobs, because it belongs to the British.


we wouldn't be having our cash being sent overseas to families

What do you mean?

and there would be very few claiming benefits.

mhm, but to me, some policies you mentioned are unreasonable.

The BNP didn't have any seats to loose in the first place- but they were humiliated by coming third in the only constituency they stood a decent chance in.

I don't want the Lib Dems to form a government with the Tories. They need to form one with Labour, whose economic and political policies are far more similar. Anything to keep out the posh, slimy, stuck up, over confident, Noddy look alike of a joke, David "Just call me Dave" (cos I think I'm a really cool guy) Cameron.
 
I voted for Lib dems. My first vote and i didn't think with my head. Oh well, it's a hung parliament anyway. :p
 
It's law and order policies I'm really interested in. At the moment we're far too soft it's help for the criminals and not the victims. The Liberal Democrat policies weren't very impressive on that score and we know Labour doesn't even know the meaning of the word justice, that's the problem. I'm hoping if the Conservatives get in they'll be tougher. UKIPs law and order policies were the strongest.
