Hi ernesto!
You can find the forum rules here. Knowing what’s appropriate and what isn’t can save everybody a whole load of trouble! You might also find the Guide to Good Posting useful. Also please respect other people’s views; though they may not be the same as yours it does not mean they are necessarily wrong, just different.
If you need help with anything at all, feel free to contact me, or one of the other moderators, via a personal message; details can be found here.

Where are you from? What do you do? How would you describe your political views?

Can I add my own welcome to The Politics Forum Ernesto. If you would like to give us a little bit more information about yourself and your political views it would be appreciated by many.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us 'for our own good' will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
accidental genius!
welcome Ernesto!

I live on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, I'm 59 years old and I've been a republican, (shock horror), since an early age. Currently, and for the past 11 years, I have been driving for a living. Previously I worked for 25 years in the Tyre industry as a quality engineer and before that, after leaving school, I worked in the Printing industry. My main motivation for being a republican is that I believe that the people should be sovereign and not the crown.
My politics are towards the left, but I have always felt disenfranchised because I am a republican.

I have to wonder whether this thread is going anywhere, and whether it's appropriate for an "Introduce Yourself" post! However if anyone has anything constructive to add I'll happily move it to a more suitable place.
