Ukraine counter offensive

[denso13]

Really, they all come across as all pi*sing in the same pot to me.

Is that not allowed? You prefer some dissent?

The exception being Victor Orban who objects to Ukraine joining because of their human rights record on minorities.

There you go then, parliaments can decide.

I'd say they're all singing from the same hymn sheet, since it's Christmas an' all, although some of 'em can hold a tune a few discordant voices throw a misericord into the melody, giving the casual listener the impression of disharmony.
The money is good so all of 'em want to be in the band, really.

Lol

Isn't it healthy for 'democracy' if you have different perspectives, otherwise you end up with the voters given a choice of voting for parties which are two cheeks of the same ar*e.
Parliaments decide which part of their manifestos they stick to and those they throw in the bin with one or two leaders along the way and then the voters have to wait another term before they get to vote for the other party who carry on in the same manner.

Not just for the sake of it.

Not just for the sake of it.

I'm sure you know what your on about.

 

[denso13]

I'm sure you know what your on about.

Do you think there has to be a different political perspectives for absolutely everything? Are there not some things that people will pretty much agree on?

 

[gant]

Er, don't the voters make that distinction.
Screaming Lord Such hasn't been able to get a seat in parliament yet.

Screaming Lord Such hasn't been able to get a seat in parliament yet.

Maybe because he shuffled orff this mortal coil many moons ago...

I was asking your opinion. Nevermind.

like, 'Russians are bad - Ukraine good', that sort of thing?

 

[gant]

I was asking your opinion. Nevermind.

My opinion is voters make a choice out of a desperate lot that they have to choose from at the ballot box.

 

[denso13]

like, 'Russians are bad - Ukraine good', that sort of thing?

Not really, there are two sides to that one, even on here.

Girl x and boy y = bad? Do we really need an opposing view, just for the sake of it?

 

[gant]

like, 'Russians are bad - Ukraine good', that sort of thing?

There are one or two who think you have to take sides on here and can't look at things objectively.

Nothing to do with the question. Nevermind.

 

[gant]

It's you who said for the sake of it without a question mark.
My answer speaks for itself in that you'll get no traction at the ballot box if your being contrary for the sake of it.
Oh look what I've hit on here, somebody being contrary for the sake of it.
