The Common Good Party - where will I find it?

MaizieD Have you heard of something called a joke? Difficult to explain but a good dictionary should define it

Well, I did laugh, didn't I?

I have seen the results of two recent polls. One claimed that 14% of over 60s and the other 20% of pensioners voted Tory, so possibly GN doesn't represent a cross-section of the population.

MaizieD Have you heard of something called a joke? Difficult to explain but a good dictionary should define it.

Although based on the evidence of last week's elections, especially where I live (Oxfordshire), it may not be a joke.

Not everyone shares the same sense of humour though unless this is now a diktat from the Tories. Does this mean we now have to laugh at Hoorays destroying a restaurant for "fun" at the discomfort of other dinners and at other tricks that the Eton crowd get up to because they were so entitled?

I always find it odd when someone on here tells someone else off for not getting their joke. In real life bad or unfunny jokes just get ignored and people don't comment about their own. The differences of online and RL I suppose.

I think the nearest to a "common good party" is probably the Green Party.

I think you might be right there growstuff the environment is important to the whole world.

The Green Party isn't just interested in the environment. I'd like to see a party with a genuine commitment to mental health, which affects people from all groups. LibDem Norman Lamb did a huge amount for mental health, much of which wasn't acknowledged.

I agree Growstuff and I find the GP interesting. I can get piles of information into my email box from Labour and the LibDems but haven't found a source for Green Party information unfortunately.

Anniebach I don't get what you're saying.

The Liberal Democrats have done a huge amount of good in many areas which is never acknowledged.

For instance party leader Ed Davey was the Energy and Climate change minister responsible for wide ranging reduction in energy consumption and Co2 emissions that the Tories now claim credit for.

How do they get away with it? - easy when they have all the billionaire newspaper proprietors championing their cause
