This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

!x*@ the Brits! Sarkozy wreck's Blair's dream of being EU President.
In Britain he has to be the most hated person of all time. People use terms like 'traitor', 'liar', 'treasonous', 'war-criminal', 'scumbag' etc as part of his name when talking about him. Making Traitor Blair the EU president would have guaranteed our UKIP the most number of seats from the UK. -

The UK about to go bankrupt!
Is a mortgage backed security really an asset? If it says on the paper that it's worth $X amount, but the value of the house has halved and the home owner has stopped paying the mortgage and plans to just default and walk away ... is it really an asset? -

He is ... it's just that the banks are sitting on the money. Why We Don't Have Hyperinflation Even Though The Fed Has Printed $1 Trillion -

And the torries self destruct campaign continues
I sincerely hope the tories lose. Not because I don't support them, but because I want Labour to be held responsible when the results of all this money printing, borrowing and desperately needed future spending cuts finally land in the governments' lap. If we're going down the path that Greece... -

The UK about to go bankrupt!
They would be even higher if it were not for the Bank of England buying the vast majority of the Gilts with freshly printed paper money. There is the Austrian school of economics, there is the Keynesian school of economics and there is the Mugabe school of economics. Guess which one we're... -

UK 4.06% (screwed) Spain 3.91% (screwed) Portugal 4.57% (slightly more screwed) Italy 4.04% (screwed) Greece 6.69% (completely screwed) Now then, how did the weaker economies in the EU get away with piling up huge quantities of cheap governmental and consumer debt that caused bubble growth in... -

The UK about to go bankrupt!
What do you mean "about to go bankrupt"? We already are bankrupt! Of the £178 billion that had to be borrowed to cover the deficit, £175 billion was just printed by the Bank of England! At least we have the option to devalue, print or change interest rates ... unlike Greece and Spain who are... -

Let the Greeks ruin themselves

Let the Greeks ruin themselves
The Greeks should not have been in the Euro-zone in the first place. Now that they are in they can't devalue, can't print money and can't borrow money. Their only option, short of leaving the Euro, is to live within their means. Socialists always bankrupt their countries in the end as their... -

Will Britain go to war over Falklands again?
They would not be going up against Argentina of 1982, but Argentina of 2010. They have a handful of ancient destroyers, a couple of diesel subs, a dozen or so patrol boats and their airforce only has 30 or so ancient 1960's era fighters. No more cruisers, no more aircraft carriers, smaller... -

Will Britain go to war over Falklands again?
If it were that easy to persuade people to give up their homes, way of life and lands then there would be no need for war. The world would belong to those with the deepest pockets. In any case the Argies are even weaker, militarily, compared to the UK now than they were then. Why would they...
