I want a place to discuss politics - I've been doing so on other types of forum but I imagine this will settle down now we have a government.

I did join another politics forum but I am still waiting for approvals of my comments- and it also seemed too formal for my liking, the kind of approach which alienates people from politics.

I am a liberal socialist and have been well and truly behind the Liberal Democrats during this campaign, I just hope they can make their mark in this coialition government.

Hi joethfc, or perhaps just Joe, and welcome to the Politics Forum!

To start with you might like to read the extended "Welcome" message in the Rules and Guidelines section of the forum, which also includes a full version of the Forum Rules.

Knowing what’s appropriate to say and post and what isn’t can save everyone a great deal of hassle, and as such you might also find the Guide to Good Posting useful. If you’re unfamiliar with the type of forum software we use here, a brief guide to using it can be found here. Please respect other people’s views here; they mightn’t be the same as yours, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re wrong, just that they're different.

If you need help with anything at all to do with the forum, feel free to contact me, or one of the other moderators, via a personal message; our details can be found here, listed as “Junior Minister”.

Perhaps you’d care to formally introduce yourself, which you can do here, or optionally tell us a little bit more about yourself here.

Enjoy the debates, I'm sure you'll find plenty to discuss
