I don't have champagne in the house but I've got a tin of Gin and Tonic from Lidl for when I watch Eurovision later.

I'm really not classy at all...

It just occurred to me that maybe DaisyAnne wasn't talking about that kind of party grin

Just realised that last comment might seem a bit crass at the moment. Sorry blush

Good answer WWM and I can only agree. I don't think you're alone GG13

I'm still looking for a party simply called the Democratic Party.

I thought I might be a community capitalist. Yet, whenever I've thought I'd found a definition, I look it up and am stunned by what I read. So "Democratic", to include the little bit left, a little bit right or a little bit liberal and me as I feel like all three at times.

Does anyone fancy starting a party?

With the odd exception, everyone on GN seems to dislike extremism, we mostly meet in the middle but it is the way to achieve what we want that we disagree on.

I'm not particularly a socialist, but I do like champagne. Having it tomorrow as it's DHs birthday, and DD and SIL are throwing him a bbq.??

I couldn't vote for any party that Johnson led. I simply cannot be bothered with adulterous, scrounging, self serving, congenital liars.

Which is what he is.?

Yes but no but Mr Starmer drinks beer
Just saying.

You're like all of us who dislike extremism.

Fair comment WWM2.

I still advocate champagne for all though wink

Why shouldn't the socialists have champagne too?

Champagne for all!!!

Well they can if they wish. But you won’t find any on here.

Whitewavemark2 I just want a government I can trust to do the right things for all the electorate…

(Off to open a bottle ?)

Who cares, you vote according to your conscience. I have voted Tory in the past but not any more. I am not a champagne socialist.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 14-May-22 15:12:24

Of course not. You are just another voter like the rest of us.

You are probably a democratic who believes in the capitalist system just like the rest of us.

There are no economic socialists on GN as far as I am aware.

You may like me enjoy the odd tipple every now and then?

Before I head off into our garden for BBQ with DD & GC I have a serious question for the political experts here.

As I have turned away from Mr. Johnson and the current Conservative Government am I now a Champagne Socialist ?
