Hello! Back again with another mock presidential race!
This one will share a lot of things with the first version however, this one will be a race for the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom!
Due to the rather recent resigning of David Cameron, I thought it would be a good country. Many of you suggested we should do a race for a different country! So here we go!
Same rules apply as the last race, (reference thread "Mock Presidential Race" in "off topic")
However you will be running for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!
The following political parties in the race are the following,
PartyPolitical PositionLeader
Conservative and Unionist Party
Centre-right
David Cameron
Labour Party
Centre-left
Jeremy Corbyn
Scottish National Party
Centre-left
Nicola Sturgeon
Liberal Democrats
Centre
Tim Farron
Have fun! Remember candidates can respectfully debate each other!
Poll for party representatives will end July 15th!
After that, the winners of each party will move on to the PM race!
Everybody can vote, and your vote can be changed at anytime! Just remember to use that feature responsibly!
I'm your host Vex03,
Let's get RIOOOGHHTT into the debates!

I don't like ignorance to the plight of the rich. Do you know how awful it is for people to grow up with everyone around them telling them they should be happy because they get everything handed to them on a plate? Their parents are always away on business trips? It does awful things to a child.

Yeah, well, they're a minority. Better than a whole country of poor people, anyway.

So you dont like Capitalism, because you dont like being lazy, and things being handed to you?
Thats that socialism and communism crap, Capitalism, the government wont hand you stuff... You actually have to earn it...
or you know, vote for them stupid commies, and they will take it from the hard working people and give it to some other guy, who doesnt do squat...
your argument, is probably one of the most ANTI-Communist argument, going around...

They worked BEFORE they were rich, I'm just saying they didn't work AFTER they were rich.

Bill Gates still runs his own company, as do Amancio Ortega and Warren Buffet (kinda). And even if they didn't, why would they have to work if they became rich after many years of hard work and extremely successful ideas/products/investments?

Because nobody should have enough money to live their lives in luxury without working while others are in poverty and working multiple jobs, that's why.

Nah, cos you wont be bothered to build it, you just take your pay, and do a lousy job..
Or go private sector, build for reward. Maybe then start your own labour company.
Government would make a mess of building, almost anything... compared to the efficeny of the private sector..

Why not? Those guys had the best ideas to make money anyone has ever had. Anyone. Those folks working multiple jobs haven't. They do and should get help, but rich people shouldn't be forced to give money to them because if not there's no bloody incentive to be rich, and therefore all will be poor, and no one will be able to help anyone.

Then you don't know me. I work surprisingly hard for someone who sits around so much. You should see my coveralls at the end of a day. Last time I used them the cement that was on them came off because I got absolutely soaked when the end came off a hose. The crotch is still covered in paint though.

Yes there are unforuante people in the world. But you gotta ask your self, what is the best way for them to become wealthy or successful. Not everybody wants just money BTW...
Capitalism, helps the poor better than ever other system in the world.
China, the spread of free enterprise and free markets, lifted 400million people out of poverty!
Just to add, there quasi, in Cuba a Doctor is paid 40$ a month, as Healthcare is run by the useless government.
Taxi's are one of the few industries that are allowed to operate freely, very few sectors that allow freedom..
A taxi driver in cuba.. makes 60$ A DAY!
Most people eat in North Korea, because of secret "free markets"
Most people die because the government, cannot and will never be able to support people the way the free market and freedom can
