Well, they all promised to boost UK economy and as you can see they did that indeed. Perhaps a bit different way then we expected, but they did it Smiley.

Arrogant, witty, rich old guy wants to get into politics. Pays for his own campaign and has a net worth of around 8billion dollars. 'Hiring actors' is no god damn surprise to me. Its Donald trump, I have always hated him, always will. Obama might have his flaws but he is a much better prez than trump can even imagine to be.

This seems to be happening in general though, it seems to be common practice, I've forgotten where but it's not just Donald Trump apparently doing this and obviously it's going on around in the UK. The propaganda these mainstream parties get up to is ridiculous, even Hitler never needed to pay people to come to his rallies.

I don't think that money alone will allow Trump to win the Republican nomination. He will be a sore loser, just like Mitt Romney. Even if he wins the republican nomination race (just like Mitt Romney), he will lose the POTUS elections in 2016, as the neutral and fringe voters will either stay away, or vote for his opponent.

They seems to be following politicians from Asian countries, particularly from India.  Cheesy Wasn't it the case, that when indian prime-minister recently came to US, he brought his followers along with him to let world know how popular he is all over the world  Cheesy

Wikipedia says his net worth is 4 Billion dollars but when questioned, he says that 'they' don't know. Claims he lives a private life and enjoys it. Yes, Obama might have his share of shit but I really like his personality and friendliness. However, that's not enough to run a god damn nation haha. Still, Obama over trump ANYFUCKINGDAY!

Don't US Republicans have the same claim of US Democrat politicians, since they offer handouts and entitlement programs as a part of their platform? It's like compensating for votes.

It is all the same really instead of trying to fix the problems they have it's about giving tax cuts and so on to the groups that have the most votes.

Morally speaking, this is wrong on many levels:

1. The political parties are acting dishonest, giving the impression that a crowd is supporting them.
2. The rent a crowd company is running a very questionable service.
3. The people actually whoring themselves out to pretend to be supporters, but which only do it for money.

The only good thing I can see is that the people are not forced to show support. As we know, in some countries, you have no choice but to show support when asked..

But who should be surprised, when was politics ever honest?

This is of course, speak to hide the fact that they did in fact work with the company but won't admit it until more compelling evidence is brought forth

In my place, the supporters are given gifts, food and free transportation to attend the political parties campaign, the same supporter will take all of the fortunes randomly from every individual political party campaign. But it is really shocking for me that how come these sort of freebies rise in the United Kingdom.

I don't know why are you surprised by this, this is a standard practice for many countries and parties. It is idiotic, those people don't have a brain, nor a spine, and that is what you get.

Didn't he himself say that his net worth is 8 billion dollars and not 4, which is the official net statement? Either this means that he has successfully buried a lot of $$ and doesn't account the tax for it or is too arrogant and tries to show off more than what he doesn't even own. I see nothing positive about this, and I don't find him worthy of being POTUS at all.
