...but unlike them, and indeed yourself, I'm not a member of any political party.
Meaning I'm free. Totally free.
Free to speak my mind, and not worrying about the fact that I'm singing from the correct party political hymn book.

Not free thinking enough to realise being a member of a political party does not mean you must follow their thoughts exactly though!

Some political party members on here have been forced to admit the party they support, as slavishly as a football team, still support them blindly after deciding they were the right 'team' for them years ago.
Even though they've had many new managers, totally new players, a new strip, and even moved grounds seasons ago.
Yet they still unthinkingly chant the same old support.
Quite sweet really.
Blind devotion.
Though I fear not something I'll ever do.

Try and hold them to account personally then rather than prejudicing others.

As posted earlier, I'm politically free to post whatever I want, and am certainly in no position to 'prejudice' anyone.

Except by saying what you do you prejudice members of political parties by suggesting they are not politically free to post what they wish. I think you should direct your argument at the individual and not prejudice a group.

As I've said, more than once, I'm free to say whatever I want.
I don't care if in your opinion I 'prejudice members of political parties', and I don't particulary care what you think I should be doing.
It's very liberating.
Take my word.

Under this shower the economy shrank by over 5% last year the worse figures since records began, we are in debt to the tune of £800 billion and rising at a great pace, out of the 31 industrialised countries we come 30th in the list of those who were best prepared for the recession, we have more Lords as Government Ministers because the rank and file are useless, and given the fact they inherited the best economic outlook any incoming government has ever inherited and have still cocked it up, this lot ain't got much going for them

Re: brown just go.
Ah, but if we get a change of government, we'll be able to take sensible steps to deal with agricultural affairs.
Oh no, sorry, we won't because we surrendered control to the EU via the Common Agricultural Policy.
Anyway, at least we'll be able to establish a firm but fair immigration policy.
Oh no, sorry we won't because we've surrendered control of our borders to the EU.
Never mind, carry on arguing while your independence slips away...
