Kind of ironic that they've got an ad for Talk Radio on the forum page

Yeah.....they lost me at "Rex has been an avid talk back radio contributer for 37 years"

(Besides the apostrophes issue, a spell checker would be handy for them...)

Sarcasm.

The prosecution rests its case your honour.

Bwahahahahahahaha missed that one, quality. So if you get on Jerry Springer does that make you eligible for President?

Fair play to them though

From what I can see, they do have a good message overall, ie, we are all sick and tired of being lied to by bastard pollies, the unjust way commerce is undertaken, the normal folk not having a fair go and all that kind of malarky.

It is a message that a lot of people in the pubs, cossie clubs and RSA's all over this great nation would say "fair nuff, good on 'em" over a beer or 6.

But how effective can they be..??

I admire them for getting out there, at least they are doing something. At this stage the forums are very much toe in the water stuff, they are looking for ideas.

Best of luck to them I say, you simply never know. I mean, look at Lech Walesa in Poland, geezer was a sparky but he rarked up enough bodies to change the political landscape of that country and pull them out of the regime they were in.

My point is that you can never rubbich or under estimate anyone with a message that the people of this country would get with. Our enemy, as with everything, is apathy I suppose

Hope not. I was kinda hoping someone might have driven a stake through whichever bits it takes to keep them down.

Anything that makes me change browser to see it doesn't work, by my definition.
No I had not seen the site fully when I posted. I now have. Looking past the terrible use of language and the fontcrime, I have some further observations:
1. I know it's early days but their policies are pretty vague.
2. I'd be interested to hear their detailed ideas on fairness. (And how many here would agree with them).
3. It's great being responsive to member input but what do they actually stand for? What are their base values? What's non-negotiable?
4. Why would I give them (rather than, say, a passing Nigerian scammer) my money?

And...
Colours are green and red, talk of eco friendly homes and energy independence and they're not being decried here as "watermelons"?
