Cos Im that great

Names James

Just found this forum and thought Id register.

I was born in 1992, so Im kinda young

I hate the EU for various reasons, chiefly its just a huge form of collectivism

I hate that were controlled by people who now not only live 300 miles away, but now 3000 miles, and were unelected in the first place. IMHO more power needs to be given to local councils.

I want Ron Paul to win the 2008 US elections.

Oh, and I want to either go into IT or politics when Im older - any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome jgrabham glad to have someone like yourself onboard and also being a young person like yourself its good to know that another young person has woken up to the danger that the UK faces from the EU now any questions just ask mate.

Welcome indeed. I'm 21, and didn't quite see the light as young as you!!

I would suggest following a career in IT first before entering politics. If anything it will give you real-world experience and possibly earn you some money to allow you to remain fairly independent and follow your beliefs.

Welcome to the forum. As an IT 'professional' I would say go with that. One of the principle complaints about modern politicians is that so many of them have so little real world experience. They also get sucked into the artificial political bubble where they get very confused about what is reality, what is ethical, and what people really care about. Best avoided as long as possible, I think.

The fact that you want to go into politics should immediatley bar you from doing so. Go the IT route ,get trained and emmigrate. And welcome to the mad house
