It doesnt matter who you vote for.

The faces change but the country doesn't.

It's like being asked if you would rather be assaulted with a bottle or a knife.

The lesser of two evils to be honest.

A vote for The Goat is a vote for sanity.

I'll be honest, and serious for bit here. I'm really at a loss as to who to vote for.

I'm sick of Labour, and their daft ideas, but I'm not sure that the Conservatives could do any better.

The idea of tax cuts is laughable. I know it's not going to happen, so why claim they could make it?

Why do Governments insist on taking even more money through taxes, then think that you won't notice if they give a bit of it back?

New Deal was one of the worst Labour ideas ever. When I was unemployed just over a year ago I was made to feel thoroughly worthless thanks to the New Deal program. They assume that itf you're young, and unemployed it's because you're stupid. Well believe me that's not the case here. They made me do basic computing courses in Word and Excel, even though I have a G&C in Programming, then they sent me to do some voluntary work making posters, and writing letters for a news group.

Believe me I took the first job that was offered me to get away from that crap.

Anyone want to buy my vote? Maybe I'll auction it on E-Bay.

That's right PB, but it's because so many people think "Tactical Voting" that they don't win as many seats.

Anyway I was watching this report on "BEST HOPES" of seats for all the parties and they had these stats about how much % of votes each party got last time (I think it was, or else is predicted to get)... Anyway, the total was 114%! Now that's a good quality report! The thing is that some people say that Proportional Representation would be more fair because the parties would get seats equal to proportion of votes (That error earlier would mean double booking) but the way I see it, people of an area get who they most want instead of having someone forced on them because people elsewhere voted a certain party in second!

Anyway PR didn't work in the Scottish Parliament, if it was a real fair system it would have had the MSPs chosen by the people rather than some formula and it wouldn't be such a rubbish parliament due to the complete lack of any great power to make decisions (caused mostly by the lack of a majority which would allow decisions to be made properly rather than being ruined by MSPs that the people have never even heard of until it turned out that they were who they had been voting for... List MSPs of course).

I sit back and laugh at the stupidity of people who say 'ohhh, don't vote Liberal, it's a vote against *enter name here*

Really, there is such a thing as voting for the party you want, rather than voting for a party just to stop another party getting in, where's the sense in that?

If you vote Liberal, they will get in, same with other parties.

'Tis no doubt a silly hat at that.
Bah, politics! What have the tories ever done for us? Sure, they can run the country into the ground (not as bad as America though, so that's something) but Labour can even beat them at things that are considered only do-able by the Tories! For example, the economy. Now, those Conservative fools think they can trick us by saying they can cut tax and increase public services, HA! That's right and who would recieve any tax cuts? The richest people who earn plenty more than too much to live off! So anyway, where is this magic money going to come from? INCREASE THE COUNTRIES DEBTS! Where else? The Tories live off debt.

Next you'll be thinking "Well what about the Foot and Mouth Crisis? and the Fuel Protests? These never happened under the Conservatives!" Well, if that's what you're thinking... You can't blame a government for a disease existing (it was the farmers fault for importing those illegal poor quality food things) and they are doing a good job of dealing with it (although they would do better if they stuck to the same plan all the way because it's the best plan and you can't just change your mind, still they might just do that). As for the Truckers, well they are just making a big issue out of something that was no different under the Conservative rule in order to get their friends back in power (perhaps the oil companies created the whole thing to assist the tories with the hopes of receiving tax cuts, as if they need them).

Don't listen to the propoganda, think for yourselves! Vote Labour, for they are the most likely to win and most likely to do good for the people. The tories would have the general public suffer so that the rich and the companies may rule!

VOTE LABOUR, you know it's right.
