How many politicians would you trust 100%?

by blackie333 Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:47 am

Dennis Skinner is the best one of all for telling them all to bugger off if he gets the hump or is trying to ask a question and
they are trying to stop him asking a question for someone or anyone needing help and admitting how bad it's got under the Tories.

zero

pretty silly to trust any politican 100%

by Syl Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:37 pm

None.

by Miffs2 Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:40 pm

Anyone wishing to involve themselves in politics never do it from altruism but from a desire to self publicise.
Trust none of them.

by Ben Reilly Tue Aug 30, 2016 3:49 am

It would be ludicrous to trust a politician 100 percent, or anybody with power.

by 'Wolfie Tue Aug 30, 2016 6:49 am

Ditto...

I would never trust any politician, company boss or corporate CEO..

Nor used car salesmen, plumbers or real estate agents.

I'd trust the low-key ones, the newbies just starting out. Most People don't go into politics for themselves - lots of them go into politics to try and make a change because they think they have ideas and ways to make a change.

It's only as political life goes on do they realise that they're not making a lot of money and bigger MP's are winning the war and I reckon they get to feel a little helpless.

None of us know what it's like and what a tough fucking job it is to please all the people, go to work with sharks and keep up with the ever-changing and shifting politics of the world.

I think every single one of you always see things in black and white.... "Most MP's are bad because the papers and TV and my own eyes tell me so"

None of you have absolutely any idea what it's like and how easy it can be to look like a baddie when you're swimming in a pool of sharks.

If you have this impression of MP's may I ask:

WHY DO YOU VOTE FOR PEOPLE YOU DONT TRUST?
WHY DO YOU LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE PERSON AS THE SAME?

It's little wonder some of you are the way you are and think, the way you think.

How sad for you that you love a life of simply saying "No evidence but I trust no one"

How about doctors? Some of them are greedy and manipulative and play to the powers that be.
Are they all like that? Do you think they went into medicine for the right reasons?

I have no hero worship of politicians or anything, but I'd never make a sweeping statement about them either.

So is Asians letting their kids pee in the gutter instead of taking them in to pee in the loo but they still do it and dont tell me they dont
or i'll tell you tell you to pee off as well.
I've seen them do it lots of times when driving past.
In their own countries it's normal but not here for god sake!
I have nothing against them but we would just give them a slight slap on the back of their legs or bum
and tell them to pee in the toilet and you know we would!

Unfortunately the many that lie, fiddle, line their own pockets, swap and change their minds depending on who they believe can further their careers, avoid answering direct questions and waffle about things they know nothing about....tend to disillusion people.

Also Eddie, why should we trust people we don't personally know 100%?
I trust completely my family and close friends.....everyone else I have a right to be wary of.

by SEXY MAMA Tue Aug 30, 2016 11:43 am

100% no one.

But when you vote you look at the pros and cons and weigh up the lesser of evils as they say!

SAD!

Not that here in America we have the 'exception to the rule' about TRUST & MORALITY for our potential electable humans ...but we often do have many that enter into the political arena for valid reasons and end up getting burned out!

By the time he had reached middle age, Max Cleland thought he had nothing to live for. Vietnam had left him a triple amputee. He had lost his seat in the U.S. Senate, and in the grip of depression he had lost his fiancée, too. But instead of giving up, Cleland discovered that he has what it takes to survive: the heart of a patriot.
Doctors did not give Cleland much hope when he returned from Vietnam, but he overcame his despair through his bonds with other wounded soldiers. Against all odds, he realized his dream of becoming a Senator. But after being smeared as unpatriotic in a reelection campaign, a long-dormant case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder sent him back to Walter Reed Hospital. Surrounded by the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, Cleland again found the faith and endurance to regain control of his life.
In a gut-wrenching memoir that is free of bitterness but frank about the costs of being a soldier, Max Cleland describes with love the ties America’s soldiers forge with one another, along with the disillusionment many of them experience when they come home. Heart of a Patriot is a story about the joy of serving the country you love, no matter the cost—and how to recover from the deepest wounds of war.

Sure the names have changed somewhat from this compiled listing dated 2011 ...but for impact and factual data - it's important to note that not all of my nations elected are from just the legal &/or corporate sector! That the returning veterans have found a NEED TO stay connected - serve their country after finishing their commitment service period and then run for office to change things that they saw/felt had suffered while fighting for this country!

TRUST = amusing, given the issue for abuse of power around here! Twisted Evil

But I do vote according to what I've been able to ascertain {good/bad/ugly} about anyone on my voting ballot; as a responsible voter I do the research - leg work - write to them, ask questions for my specific areas of concern and then follow up and track how they vote on those matters!

It's something i've learned over years of watching the bug*ers fiddle us all for their own gains.
Did you ever watch Maggie Thatchers daughter in the Jungle programme?
She needed a pee so rather than go to the Jungle loo thing she had a pee right next to where people were sleeping
and her son got lost somewhere once on one of his jaunts somewhere and millions were then spent of tax payers money looking for the idiot.
Had that been your son they'd have looked for a while but then given up and had your daughter been a dirty git like her daughter is you'd have
dragged her off that programme the same day as she did it, the dirty git!

Well, the question was whether we trust them 100 percent. I don't trust anyone 100 percent, outside of immediate family, and even them, there are a few I don't.

I think 100-percent trust means you don't have to keep an eye on them, and with politicians that would be really stupid. But we do need them, so we pick the ones we trust most.

trust is not binary you trust in percentage or proportion or comparison

you trust one more than another

and lack of trust doesn't equal corruption, it may mean you think they will bend the truth to suit their position.

trusting 100% is saying "I would trust this person's statement over my own eyes and ears."

Okay, so, in a democracy, politicians are supposed to be our employees. You know, they draw their salaries from money we pay in taxes, so there's this whole "accountability to the public" thing that those on the right tend to ignore, thinking we're basically electing our communities' honorary parents or something.

But let's stick with the whole "my taxes pay your salary" thing for a second.

Would you ever hire someone to do something and not check on how good a job they were doing? Well, maybe you would, but you'd be stupid to. Anybody who's getting money from me is going to be held to a certain level of, "are they fucking around while they're supposed to be doing something I'm paying them for?"

Therefore, thus, and hence, no -- you should not trust anybody you've hired 100 percent. But it is a given that you did need to hire somebody.

by eddie Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:23 am

That's a lot of words that still say: I am voting for someone I don't trust and I will choose the one I trust the most and vote for them becasuse they're saying what I say but I still don't trust them but I'm gonna vote anyway and even if they're found to be corrupt or naughty I'll still vote cos I don't want the other guy to win cos I think I trust him less"

Yes but he's still saying "I am voting for the one I THINK I trust the most"

And know what? Once people have made their minds up to vote for the "most trustworthy guy" (and let's face it that is simply opinion!) it doesn't matter what that guy does - the voter will still never change their mind and vote for someone else!

Like all the Hilary-voters: they wanted someone else - someone more trustworthy (Bernie) and when that wasn't possible they then chose the next best thing (though she wasn't good enough initially) and their brains have convinced them that now, she's trustworthy enough!!

It's self-brainwashing.

If my guy pulled out, or didn't make it through to the finals.....I wouldn't vote.

by Guest Thu Sep 01, 2016 10:08 am

Oh jee, that makes perfect sense!

Lets give you a scenario. An election to rule the world between Ghandi, Hilter or John Major (the good, the bad and the indifferent).

You back Ghandi, Major for some reason is doing better, Hitler is last.

Because only 2 contestants are allowed, Ghandi has to drop out. Ghandi's backers, instead of voting for Major say they are not going to vote, so they don't. Hitler wins.

The world ends.

actually you dont have to
if everyone voted for what was best for them then you end up with what is best for the majority

If you live in a house where the electric can be blown by plugging in a computer, you live in a house that should be condemned.

I say this as a guy who used to activate his toaster without realizing the AC was running, only to find myself running to shut off the AC before I lost all power throughout my home.

I am not proud, I only dispense what wisdom I can. With as much style and grace as I can muster.

That sucks about the toaster though. I'd hate my toast-preparations to be so rudely interrupted.

Same with Tommy, do you actually like anyone?

Do you ever read any of the actual comments that I have criticised, nicko...

OR do you only look at who it is that I've criticised ?

Tommy calls me an idiot, I feturn serve..
Eddie collectively insults virtually everyone preceding her comment above there, I return serve..

People who don't appreciate copping my abuse, should stop so blatantly insulting me, themselves, if they don't want any return serves..

Your attacks on me are totally unprovoked!!!

And everyone knows it...!!!

A liar and a cowardly keyboard weasel...

I insult no one unless I'm insulted first and even then, I normally ignore it at first or give it back.
So wolfie talks poo again.

Tbh, I don't give back abuse even half as much as I could, as I lose interest in arguments with people very quickly.
They simply don't have the comebacks to keep me interested Cool

In my opinion Wolfie is the one member I never or mostly never agree with but he's great to post with
as he comes up with some great replies and posters like him make for a great forum Wink
