Elections

[Louise]

do you vote?

 

do you have the right to complain about the state of the goverment if you dont?

 

could your vote make the difference?

[Alex]

I'm voting Conservative again.

[Vince]

i vote...normally for the little obscure parties to be honest

[Aaron]

I dunno who i'm voting for this time, certainly not labour tho. I should follow / learn to understand politics more than i do really

[Louise]

i voted labour......... but last time i never read up or watched broadcasts, i think it was because i liked roses & a family friend is a labour MP

 

iv learnt my lesson though, this time im gonna think hard & do a bit of research (hence this post) before i vote.....and it wont be labour again

[Tina_g]

[BenRW]

I vote labour, only so the tories dont get in. I was in school when the tories had the power, i used to love my free bottle of milk in the morning, and margaret bloody thatcher took it away!!! how bleedin selfish, taking free milk away from kids, this aparently is the cause for the slump in growth in kids a little younger than myself. some said a lot of kids was healthier because they didnt drink milk at home and the bottle a day they got in school helped them a lot. so...Labour for me

but that is nothing to do with current events and do u see the current labour bringing it back?

[ortski]

No, they wont bring it back, but the tories taking my milk away from me has scarred me for life!!!

 

and it isnt tony blairs decision to go to war with iraq, the prime minister doesnt make decisions like that, he has advisors, these advisors also advise the queen. whoever was in parliment wouldve been told to do the exact same thing, wether that was right or wrong is a different question. so at the end of the day, vote for who you want, it wont make a difference. plus im a utd fan and labour is red!

[BenRW]

i'm not voting cos of iraq, i was all for the invasion of iraq, they just fcked it up

 

not even because of the 45 minute claim either.

 

I just have a huge dislike for the man

[ortski]

i think tony blair has tried his best, i cant see how ian duncan smith wouldve acted, even though whats gone on has totally fucked up, i think he has held it together well, and if you look at the things he promised at the beggining, like better pay for workers, more schools and that he has done what he promised, i cant remember exactly what he has put right, but just remember being shocked when the report in the paper listed what he had done for the country, i never expected any improvements to be made because all parties lie when the elections come up

[LiquidEyes]

I think Tony Blair is the best leader for a long long time. I don't agree with all his decisions, but he is a strong, decisive and charismatic leader. I hope to God that the Tories don't get in, I can't stand those smug bastards.

 

Last time I voted Lib Dem, but this time I'm definitely voting Labour.

[colin66]

I agree in someways with Liquideyes. Yes he is a a strong, charismatic leader. But a great leader should lead, not follow, as is the case with the Iraq war. Following the Bush administration into battle into an illegal war is unforgivable in my eyes.

 

And this alliance with Bush and co must be stopped as soon as possible. They are a dangerous, vile party who don't really give a fuck about terrorism/human rights/international law and are only interested in establishing a strong hold in the oil rich middle east. Anyway ...

 

At the moment I'm voting for anyone who has an anti-Iraq war stance - the Green party for example
