    So we should clamp down on immigrants

    so that builders and tradesmen who aren't good enough to compete with them are protected? Builders with a good local reputation, who know their trade backwards, handle projects to standard, on time and always with a professional manner shouldn't be worrying about immigrants. The other 95% are fair game in my opinion.

    Coming over here, taking our jobs, can't even speak the language! Yep, can't even speak the language and they're still taking their jobs. Britain must be proud.

    RE: the only ones who will get us out of europe and do summat about immigrants

    I can't believe we treat people who serve Great Britain so loyally and effectively with such contempt. Without getting too Daily Mail when you compare it to how thanks to Blair adopting the European Human Rights bill we accept any other individual irrespective of who or what they are, it's shameful.

    RE: if they put a donkey with a red labour rosette on he would win in Barnsley

    A Vote for UKIP is a wasted vote - they're nothing more than a glorified pressure group

    If it's intended as a protest just spoil your ballot paper

    RE: we need a total shift, a removal of the political class.

    Its time for proportional representation and a reduction in the number of MP's by a at least half,elected second chamber. The end of employing relatives as secretaries,researchers etc, a rent allowance not a second home allowance for those with constituencies outside the M25 and travel allowance for public transport only.

    I'm not sure those countries do have firmer policies

    Australia is still taking in migrants at a healthy rate. And what a place... Brits, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Somalians... all rubbing shoulders together. And all catered for too... you only have to turn on the telly to see multi-language television broadcasts. Britain would not be so accommodating. True they aren't in Europe so they don't have the obligations to take everyone in from there. But is it so bad to be part of Europe? Britain didn't want to join the Euro and look how that turned out... possibly the most catastrophic decision in the last century. I hold my hands up in saying I didn't see that coming but the lesson is safety in numbers. Stronger together you might say. Britain, believe it or not, does have a reputation for being tough to get into. And this is coming from Aussies (and educated ones at that) who you'd assume would have it easier than most nationalities bearing as they do the union flag.

    Is the UK being shafted? I thought you were talking about the dregs of the building trade being shafted? The UK itself is benefitting in many ways from "these sorts". Okay, the sudden influx of people has upset the apple cart a bit. The NHS for example can't cope with the extra patients. So is it expanding in line with these extra tax-payers? No, it's making cut-backs. But this isn't the fault of the immigrants.

    Quite worrying that

    Would think disenfrancised Labour voters would generally have more in common with the Lib Dems, but seems they have short memories and are willing to shaft themselves even more!

    proportional rep is no good

    since that usually the two main parties get a similar actual percentage of the vote as they often come first and second in individual constituencies. This gives weak governments unable to pass much legislation and leave the actual power in parliament with the likes of the Lib Dems and even Plaid Cymru, Paisley's lot and other minority groups having the effective 'casting votes.'

    as for elected second chamber is dragging the house of lords into proper party politics going to do any good? There are only 92 hereditary peers now so they are the ones committed to their political role, whether it is right or not, and the rest are appointed from positions of experience or responsibility ie. church so that they can examine laws without worrying about losing their position is a good thing in my opinion, so long as the elected lower house has its current precedence

    not because of the thatcher period but becasue this new image is nothing more than a smokescreen.

    George Osbourne for example is heir to the Baronetcy of Ballentaylor, obviously of little meaning given that Ballentaylor is in Co. Tipperary but that his family were among the elite awarded land in Ireland says something.

    David Cameron is a direct descendant of King William the fourth, due to the number of generations involved so a re a lot of people but what I'm saying is they are still the party of old money.

    RE: proportional rep is no good

    It doesn't lead to weaker goverment it leads to more pragmatic goverment, and you think the Lords is better because ordinary citizens don't have a say in its make up why not extend that to the Commons,abolish elections and let a few toffs decide who will run the country.......actually doesn't that happen now
