Generally I suppose the Tories (conservatives) are 'right' & the Labour Party is 'left' (but just at the minute its more right than left) & then there's the Liberals (who are left on some things & right on others, but mostly left & never get enough votes to get elected) .. & everybody wonders why the hell I'm confus-ed ! :D

To the Honourable and Gallant memeber of the Confus_ed Party
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politi.../e-g/82149.stmQuote:
During debates in the House, MPs do not refer to each other by name but by a number of formal titles according to their status.
This polite tone is adopted in an attempt to maintain order and good humour during debates.
Most MPs are referred to as `the Honourable Member for...' followed by the name of their constituency.
If the person being addressed is a member of the same party he or she is referred to as `my Honourable Friend'.
If the MP is a practising lawyer he or she is referred to as `Honourable and Learned'.
If a member is a past or present member of the armed forces they may be addressed as `Honourable and Gallant', although this is very rarely used nowadays.
`Right Honourable' indicates a member of the Privy Council - normally a past or present minister.
You Can't Do That!
Quote:
Smoking is not allowed in the chamber and has been banned since the 17th century. Members may take snuff though and the Doorkeeper keeps a snuff-box for this purpose.
No eating or drinking
Members may not eat or drink in the chamber. One exception to this is the chancellor who may have an alcoholic drink while delivering the Budget statement.
No animals
Animals are not allowed in the Commons, with the exception of guide dogs for the blind as used by Home Secretary David Blunkett.
Dress code
Hats must not be worn unless a point of order is being raised during a division - a fashion that has long died out - and a member may not wear any decorations or military insignia.
Members are also not allowed to have their hands in their pockets, this offence was committed by Andrew Robathan MP (Con) on December 19th 1994. Swords may not be worn in the chamber and each MP has a loop of ribbon in the cloakroom where their weapons may be left. Nowadays the loop is more often used to hold an umbrella.
[I like this one]
No dying! Finally, members must not die on the premises! This is because the Palace of Westminster is a royal palace where commoners may not die. Any deaths on the premises are said to have taken place at St. Thomas' Hospital - the nearest hospital to the palace.
Archer, Like Alice Cooper, I prefer the wild party!
Nope your definatly a fully paid up life member of this party http://www.omrlp.com/
I love that last rule, NO DEATH's

"No President can promise funds from the people's treasury which, incidentally, has no money and every penny promised comes from borrowing. All bills of expenditure must originate in the House of Representatives, not from the President's desk.

Under communism, the government creates the jobs and the slaves; free enterprise is forbidden." ...
"Millions of Americans are afraid to vote outside the two "main" parties because they fear the other evil worse than they fear the lesser strength evil. This is what it's come down to in America? The I'm too afraid brigade are wont to cave in because they no longer have the capacity to stand up to party bullies? ..."
