"Reasons not to vote Tory"

Here follows a very simplified perspective:

It's difficult to understand how people now vote Tory. I assume the main cause is selfishness and a possible kneejerk reaction that's somehow carried on jerking for 30 years in some people.

There are so many reasons not to vote for them even as a protest vote.

1) They usually go on about lowering taxes. This is not always a great thing especially coming from a party that has run down the NHS and privatised off a lot of things that worked better before they were privatised.

2) Major privatisation (see 1)

3) Trust. They are the least trustworthy party, they haven't changed - underneath it's still the same party of crooks who'd sell their grandmother.

4) Backwards attitudes. Thankfully this appears to be costing them even more voters (even from their hardcore set) with their proposals to scrutinize foreign wives of british citizens.

5) They haven't changed (see 3). It's the same party underneath and (hopefully) no promise of taxcuts is going to persuade people to vote for a party that's caused many of the problem society still struggles with today.

6) Whatever Labour's mistakes you just know the Tories would have made worse ones. Labour's the lesser of two evils.

7) The Liberal Democrats are better for protest votes. They seem to be good caretakers and seem to make a good job of things (next to the other two anyway).


Anyway, these are obviously extremely simplified points, but I've made them in the interest of having a decent discussion.

i was thinking about this a while back, if i take out a massive student loan and then afterwards get a job in Canada and move over there, will i still have to pay that money back to the bank here in England?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha.

Every time I see the clip I can't help but burst into a fit of laughter.

What ever happened to the Hedfix/Clazon MSN political debates???

There isn't a chance in hell that I would vote for a party run by Michael Howard. He was slime before and he's come back doesn't make me think he's any less slimy. It's a shame because his wife looks like a nice woman. Maybe he is a nice person inside, but I really doubt it. He has a family after all...

We've seen how the Torys screw things up and we've seen Labour rebuild England from the state it was left in. Although Labour screw up, they screw up less and less worse than the blue. Having said this, I wouldn't vote for New Labour.

I'm waiting for a new, true socialist party. Otherwise I'll start one.
:)

Do folk still vote Tory? I thought Tories went out with Mrs T Labour may have its faults but not as many as the Conservatives

New Thread 1:
Reasons not to vote Labour

New Thread 2:
Reasions not to vote Lib Dem

Everything's terrible.
They should say right, that's enough lads, let's call it a day. Kill them all and make them start over again.

C- must try harder.

Reasons not to vote:

1) It's cold out

2) I don't know where the polling place is

3) I might have to re-register to change my constituancy

4) I can't be ashed

5) They're all lowlives

6) Nobody cares if I spoil my ballot

7) It'll pish off all the annoying people who whine endlessly about apathy.

The End
