In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.
I couldn't have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.
The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.
I've never been a member of a political party, but people will superimpose on you what they want.
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
I understand that the nature of politics sometimes involves fending off frivolous, anonymous allegations.
Political parties don't work when people just announce what they are doing and expect everyone else to follow.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
When you start attacking cronyism and people's political interests, it gets nasty.
There's so much mudslinging going on, and people get so turned off by that. It seems like neither party is aware of that. They're too concerned with blasting each other.
