Thinking these policies might work for an MEP? (albeit maybe not Katie Hopkins)

[Fledge]

Katie Hopkins' character has been discussed to death. Let's talk policies for mumsnet.

Let's pretend it could be Ruth Badger standing as an MEP, or Jordan, or a WAG, or Cameron from Big Brother, or Will Young, Alexandra Burke (X Factor), or Jade (Eurovision).... you get the point.

So here are the policies... and remember Tony Blair's Pledge card was even shorter when you read them...

Britain and Europe ? Involved but not dissolved

Voting numbers fell below 50% in the last European elections in 2004 - way below the number voting in reality TV shows. ???? is taking an independent stand for integrity, putting real people at the heart of democracy.

INTEGRITY
A straight talker taking an independent stand for Integrity

A stand for open and honest democracy where everyday people make the decisions based on common sense.

ARMED FORCES

An ex-army woman speaking up for armed forces and their families

A stand for a higher standard of life on base, in theatre and at home.

SMALL BUSINESS

A small business owner supporting job creators and income providers

A stand for building a prosperous economy from the bottom up.

THE ROCK
A west country woman wanting to give a real voice to Gibraltar.

?The people here are straight talkers. Politicians never answer the question, I am standing as someone who is prepared to tell it like it is.?

WORKING MOTHERS

A mother of three small children championing
women at work [Ed. substitute facts as necessary - mother/aunt/uncle/cousin/godparent/brother/sister]

A stand to support womens ambitions in business.

FARMERS AND FISHERMEN

A daughter of a farming family respecting small producers

A stand for British farmer?s rights to a sustainable income, and our fishermen?s rights to fish British waters first.

BY WAY OF COMPARISON:Tony Blair's 2005 Pledge Card:

[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/blairs-six-pledges-set-battle-lines-for-the-general-ele ction-1530163.html]

THE PLEDGE CARD

1 Your family better off: Continuing policies which have "delivered economic prosperity".

2 Your family treated better and faster: Reiterating details in the health five-year plan.

3 Your children achieving more: Wrapping up promises such as all secondary schools' specialist status.

4 Your children with the best start: Child care, children's centres and out-of-school activities.

5 Your community safer: Labour's law and order pitch.

6 Your country's borders protected: Promises of action on immigration.

I don't suppose we'll win the Eurovision - I reckon just not coming last is enough to aim for these days. I don't usually try to eat anything like a curry while it's on though. If I start laughing, I could get it everywhere. I've managed to find a supply of "potato sticks" though - someone on here pointed me towards Asda for them back at Christmas-time, so we've got a good supply of nibbles.

Just had some salt and vinegar crisps, followed by marshmellows mmmm

PMSLBrokeMN - I've seen a variety of views. Each one fascinating. I'm a parent, aged 33, with two children. I like to ask questions and understand answers.

I may have a few brain cells left too; are you implying I don't.

Your "Realworld" fascinates me. In mine we debate the merits of different policies and politicians and form our own, personal views.

But I'm as happy to discuss my lunch or dinner or breakfast as the next house-husband!

I made pancakes for breakfast.... with Lyles Golden Syrups... delicious...!

I don't quite think you're understanding our answers though...

Do I count as a parent? Or should I log off because I am a man?

In mine we debate whats for breakfast, what shoes to wear with the flowery dress i am wearing, whether we will drink vodka or wine on Friday night, have k&p really split up, whos on JR this week......

We do discuss politics on here, but not with people who have come on specifically to tout one single candidate, and/or to use us to decide how to market that candidate.

With them, we discuss lunch.

Or ways to go away and not come back.

Or interesting Anglo-Saxon four letter words.

See, this is the point I start thinking all those threads a wee while back, lamenting about the men who post on here and treat female MNers as simpering dolts, actually had a valid point...

Maybe log off cos your boring

Lots of men interesting men on here

PMSLBrokeMN - can you explain them please? some of them scare me. I worry about the world my children will be stepping out into.

Climate change, jobs migrating, all that stuff. I'm guessing you do too?

Love to engage, whoever you are, but I have a life

Oh, and I had porridge with a huge dollop of golden syrup for breakfast, nom nom!

KayHarker - I have to swear in order to give a woman respect? Where does that come from?

Sorry but has any of you read the Twilight Books or seen the film? I am in love with Edward Cullen I vote him if he was real.

VT I had Ham cheese and onion panini it was lush

Fledge, it appears to come from your imagination because I never said it.

pingping, no, not really big on Edward Cullen. It is one I Do Not Get.

Fledge seriously Net mums is the place for you they will listen to your bull crap.

I am sure of us are more worried about our own corrupt government that seems to be draining the enconmy and where in 20 years will are children be then rather than Katie Hopkins latest scandel

AMumInScotland - four letter words, Anglo-Saxon... Vikings... what about the Celts? and Gaelic?

Just made a shepherd's pie for supper inspired by an earlier thread

Mr Harker... "treat female MNers as simpering dolts,"... clarify por favor!

Mr Harker... "treat female MNers as simpering dolts,"... clarify por favor!

I'm still aiming to make some French onion soup...
