I've just put a fiver on the Tories to win the election, at 8:1.

Was that a really stupid thing to do?

I'll tell you what, lets agree to disagree on this one before we even start. It'll save us all a lot of bother, and be much better in the long run.

What moronic policies?

Yeah, that's what I basically meant, and doing it for their kids doesn't make it any less selfish when it comes against the greater good.

Family is selfish. Unfortunately.

It's their other moronic policies which put me off. Their environmental stance alone, I agree with

I'd say it's perhaps a bit more short-sighted than selfish.

I just wish the Green Party had more exposure. People seem to assume that they just care about environmental issues. True, it's one of their main focuses, but they're so much more. I think, anyway.

Personally, I'm voting LibDem; if it means that part of my country's international policy doesn't include selling arms to dictators in order to help them commit genocide on their own people, before invading those self-same dictators' countries in order to get our grubby mitts on their natural resources...well, call me a hippy if you like, but I'm willing to pay the inheritance tax and extra income tax if that's what it takes.

A vote for Labour is a vote for self-loathing hypocrites.
A vote for Conservative is a vote for hypocrites who loathe everyone who isn't them.
A vote for anyone other than those two MIGHT make a difference.

Naturally though, the party who wins will be the one that promises the most money to the 30 or 40 million mercenary 'tardtoads who make up the nation's electorate. Every man has his price. Apparently, the price of most people is about £80 a year.

That's not selfish, because you (and any brothers or sisters you may have - I forget) will be the ones to benefit.

So they're doing it for you.

Really? They're abolishing inheritance tax? The same inheritance tax that John Major introduced? Good continuity, Tories.

But it'd be good to get rid of that tax. It's so distressing for people, my mum is still having to sort it out for my gran, and she died over a month ago.

My parents are voting tories because they're abolishing inheritence tax. Hmm.

I'm not really that sure of what'll happen if the tories get in, but I can't help but feel that's a little selfish.
