Gransnet is right wing?

Don't worry London. It's gone mad! As some of our threads tend to.
It annoys those who want to be TERRIBLY SERIOUS!
But those of us with zany or surrealistic senses of humour can't resist.

i all so worked 4 education school meals 30 years but sorry im lost of with politics and this thread xx

The chamber of the red/green/purple/ orange/etc wax!
It means as much as the titles of any admin org does!

Good point Mamie and besides it sounds too 'old boy' ...there isn't a feminine of 'ministry' is there, any more than there is a feminine of 'pope' but I digress. Department is too French methinks.
I'm clean out of inspiration.

Well I still work for the ministry of justice. Which ironically seems to be the only people allowed to practice age discrimination.

Just like to point out that they have been Departments and not Ministries for a very long time. Wouldn't like anyone to think we were a bunch of out of touch old dears.
Clearly, after a lifetime working in education, I know far too much to be Secretary of State....

Sadist!

Can I be chief whip? I think it would suit my temperament.

Right-wing? - not the forum that's for sure!

Oh and the famous 'Ministry of silly walks' mr 15/12month DGD is already qualified for that post!

Ministry of Magic is a must

Still time to bagsy a position. ana

Ministry of Much Ado About Nothing

Well, if we'd known those options were available....!

Oh! Don't forget ministry of magic.

Like the list!

Ministry of Wonder and Awe.
Ministry of Food, Drink, Fishing and Partying.
Ministry of Men
Ministry of Woodlands and Ash Trees
Ministry of Celts
Ministry of Disarmament

Any volunteers?

Thank you....I think!

Not that you'd had affairs. But that you seem well balanced and sensible .

Women's affairs? What are you implying, jeni?

Ana minister for women's affairs

I like that Seniority
jeni sorted
ana how about heading up the new Ministry of Common Sense
greatnan proposals accepted subject to their agreement.

We need some more volunteers and more Ministries.

Come on, Ana, you could have an input into our constitution! I propose Bags as Minister for Science and Technology, and Soop as Minister for Peace.

I don't think I'm left-wing enough for this party!

I have voted in every election since I was 21 and have always voted SNP. I joined the party in 1973 - since then it has moved steadily leftwards until it has nearly caught up with me!

The Westminster system is devised in such a way that new or minority parties have little or no influence (no big backers, denied PPBs or a place on debates or Question Time, seldom called at PMQs, ridiculed when they speak, etc.) and that will continue until there is proper proportional representation. PR is not in the best interests of the big two who would rather take their chances in the 'winner takes all' system. They are not too worried about an independent or small party candidate at an election because they would rather lose 1 vote or seat to the 'others' than to the opposition, which = 2 votes/seats lost in terms of overall majority.

The alternative is to join an existing party and work from within by creating an inhouse pressure group.

Good luck to the new (virtual) party - I would suggest SENORITY as the name
