Ive just been reading a party manifesto....get a load of this:

1. We will bring our troops back from Germany and withdraw from NATO, since recent political developments make both commitments obsolete


2. We will also withdraw all British troops with immediate effect from Iraq. We will never again involve British troops in any more American 'wars for oil' or neo-con adventures on behalf of the Zionist government of Israel.

3. . We will refuse to risk British lives in meddling 'peace-keeping' missions in parts of the world where no British interests are at stake - a position of armed neutrality.

4. We will restore the county regimental system and withdraw from the European Union plans for an European Army.

5. We will invest in creating an integrated defence structure that can respond to all 21st Century threats.

6. If Britain is attacked by rogue states or terrorists then we will respond with appropriate force until the threat is eradicated.

7. The compulsory National Service system discussed elsewhere in this Manifesto would begin at the age of 18 with a period of basic training in the army. This would include full training with the citizens' assault rifle. Conscientious objectors who refuse to undertake military service would be allocated other constructive work for the community, but would not receive the citizen's right to be armed, or the right to vote.

8. Individuals would be free to refuse to undertake any form of National Service, but such a refusal to serve the community for the common good would result in their not being entitled to free places at university, on training courses or self-employment schemes. Whereas some other politicians mouth platitudes about there being “no rights without responsibilities”, we mean it.

Blimey...lets hope that lot dont get in then eh?
