Vote, or you don't have a reason to bitch. Poltics are like Phil Spector - full of big wigs!

How can anyone who has lived in the UK for the past 13 years seriously think about keeping Labour in at the next election? How can you think 'they were ok, more of that please!'
Yes, Cameron is the tories achiles heel (William Hague would storm the election if he was still leader) but vote for who has the best policies. Brown screwed the country when he was chancellor and carried on screwing it as PM.
And lets be honest, voting for anyone other that blue or red is a waste, with the exception of very few parts of the country.
Its no longer a case of 'Labour for the working class' and 'Conservative for the wealthy', the lines are now too blurred. I will be voting conservative, if only just as a protest vote against labour.

your third point of just voting blue or red is also misconstrued as the Libdems have a VERY big part to play in this election,especially if its a hung parliament [which it looks like being]. the libdems also have very strong support in the 'celtic' areas of the country [where i live] which the tories and labour do not.

I agree with you Joxer. Sorry Mooghead, but that comment "voting for anyone other that blue or red is a waste" is a nonsense in itself because if enough people voted then it not only would not be a waste, it would also point out to the politicians that it is the general public who will have the final say in the country.

^and who would of thought that Compo would come out of the shadows and show that he was the best out of the 3 of them at orating and communicating with the audience and the public as a whole? 51% of Sky's viewers thought that the Lib Dem leader was the better man. not just a 2 horse race now :-D this is the best election for many a year as they've finally realised that its the PUBLIC that has the final say

I actually thought Compo did really well. He seemed the more honest out of the lot of them. I loved Smarmeron's clanger - he apparently met a 40 year old man, who had been in the Navy for 30 years. Classic. :)

^haha yes,it wasnt just me who said "you what?" when he came out with that beauty.cant beat a good ol' tory "press-ganging" .i hope the poor lad got permission from his mother before he joined the navy :-p
Mr Mercury · Member since
Joxer dear chap........ was this you who did the dastardly deed to Smarmeron???
^ha ha ha! i had a feeling i would be incriminated in the wonderful deed but alas it was not me :-[ i'm saving my eggs for the head of the Gourmet Gnome known as Anthony Worrel Thompson who will be outside my front door this coming Saturday for Porthleven's annual food festival ;-D

^ I take it Antony Whatsisname would be as welcome in your house as Smarmeron would be in mine??
