Prince John posted:An interesting article about how adopting AV would have affected the last election. I think UKIP would get a boost in first choice votes if people who normally vote Tory felt safe to put them as their 2nd pick instead. We would probably still be in a huge clusterfuck of an election though.

Pesmerga posted:The lesser of two evils in this case seems like the best approach. Yep but Julian Huppert in Cambridge is a genuinely good MP and it feels wrong to vote him out of parliament - I think people like him are sorely needed in the House of Commons. I remain as conflicted as ever.

Found out today that my boss is one of those Freeman on the land types. Apparently there is no signed contract between our individual selves and the government and thus no laws apply to him. Apparently during your "berth" the government take your soul through the soles of your feet, which is the reason for children having their feet printed. I really really look forward to the next few weeks as he is becoming more and more open and vocal about it.

You should use his arguments against him and just refuse to do anything he asks since he has no power over you as the contract you signed was not between your individual self and the company but instead with your facade self as appointed by the government, and you do not recognise that self etc etc

Strangely he doesn't seem to be a person who has been shat on by the government, instead he wants them to arrest him or fine him so that he can use his sovereign citizen status in court.

It's true - but I'm assuming that any Labour or Lib Dem MP for Cambridge would end up voting for some really really stuff. So the issue is the net 'goodness' of Huppert as against the net goodness of his Labour opponent.

OwlFancier posted:Does he think that judges are like computers and he can short them out by entering an out of bounds parameter or something? He's in for a shock. The magistrates blog I read had this to say: "These nutters are no threat to a court with a determined and experienced chairman and a solid clerk." Is he actually mentally ill, or just a complete idiot? I'm guessing from the fact he's in a managerial position that he doesn't count as one of the oppressed masses.

The Supreme Court posted:I always admire the ambition of Freemen for saying "it's not me that's wrong, it's the entire legal system" At least the people agitating for workers' revolution or blowing up government buildings were doing something, rather than appealing to some sense of universal objective right that the whole system has to bend around when you state it out loud.

The funniest part is they spend the whole article criticising the Tories and then go all - Labour has much better plans but we don't trust them to deliver on it, based on their historical record. Especially when new labour was more "liberal" and "radical-center" than they ever promised, so what historical record they are talking about It's pretty obvious they aren't being entirely honest, especially when a lot of the justifications they offer in the article (The rich will leave! Entrepreneurialism will be limited! Trickle down economics!) they've refuted themselves elsewhere.
