Voteting UK View of Politics USA

The normal very politcally correct Question Time has fallen into troubled times recently when it was announced that Nick Griffin from the BNP party would be on the show. The BBC has been heavily critised for its decision, but defended itself by claiming that it had a responsibility to allow members of any political party that has a representation through the councils of the UK.

The results was demonstrations outside of the BBC and headline news which must be great news for the BNP who are getting a massive amount of publicity both positive of the event and even those who disagree with the BNP party views still believe that in a democracy he should be allowed to be on the programme than it is up to the voters to decide the issues.

The papers the next day were full of opinions of one sidedness and some claimed the audience had been chosen for the night. The BNP have far right views but recenetly have had some success at the polls which many belive is due to the lack of performance from the Labour and Conservative party.

The Labour party have accused David Cameron of Dithering on the Referendum on The Lisbon Treaty and others have accused him of a U turn and a previous promise. This treaty would in affect bring in a European Union President, but with Ireland ratifying the treaty, with only Poland and Czech Republic still to vote, David cameron has said he will not hold a referendum until he knows the resulst from these two and even then has not promised one. This has left many accusing him of back pedaling on a previous promise and is creating headline news as the Conservatives head into their annual conference in manchester.

The Eurosceptics want a retrospective referendum and those in support of more power going to Brussels do not want his to go ahead in case the result is a resounding no.
