monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 What Britain really needs is electoral reform and, hopefully by that means, a decent Government. The current mob are a disgrace and the opposition even worse. As for Button......anyone heard of Tim Henman? Electoral reform? As in proportional representation? Isn't that a LibDem desire? I really do wish you'd be a little more forthcoming instead of just ranting aimlessly without either substantiating or explaining your reasoning? What on earth has the British government or Tim Henman got to do with this thread?? With regards to the topic in hand, I agree that JB does need to get a win or two under his belt. I think that he is capable of it given the right machinery (the environment he finds himself in seems conducive), and the added incentive of wanting to beat Rubens may have the desired effect in pushing him to raise his game. DR is perfectly entitled to speak his mind although I suspect there is an ulterior motive involved. I respect DC, but I do doubt that he would have done any better in the BAR during '04.

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 "Is this true? I thought Toyota spent more and maybe a few others. I wonder if we could see a more competitive financial battle in F1 than ever before as the japanese manufacturers go head to head near the front?"yes, that's the quote that stood out for me. surely this can't be true and is richards getting carried away with himself. keeping jenson was costly last year but i still think toyota must be spending comfortably more than honda. with regards to fighting at the front and back, midland have toyota engines so the eventual main competitor of the honda engines in the rear of the super aguris will be the toyota's in the midlands. it makes sense in that respect. Yes I agree with all that. Toyota's support for midland is a bit more reasonable than Honda's sato-dream-team though! Honda have increased their budget since they bought BAR so I wonder if DR knows more about it than we do. Really I expect you're right though. What Britain really needs is electoral reform and, hopefully by that means, a decent Government. The current mob are a disgrace and the opposition even worse. As for Button......anyone heard of Tim Henman? I think british politics is going in just the right direction. If we followed your advice we'd soon have alcoholics running the country!

Franklin Delano Roosevelt won 4 terms and died only a month after being sworn in for his fourth term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 Our Conservative Party is similar to your Republicans in their outlook. You may be too young to remember, but Margaret Thatcher was Conservative. The Labour Party are the British equivalent of the Democrats, and the Liberal Democrats are somewhere in between. For Ben: I think a nationalist party is a bad thing. It would be divisive in our multi cultural Britain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 indeed, i didnt quite mean nationalist like that, a nationalist party that sees britain as multi cultural and wants to upgrade her status as being great once again! Its important that we accept and learn from being multi cultural, there are huge benefits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
