"Election 2005"

I have made up my mind, after years of being Liberal I am going to vote Labour at the elections next Thursday. Reason are way to many to list but in short, since Labour took over I have bought my own home, we have a good life style we want for little and in general for me at least every thing is tickety Boo just now.

Indeed. Even if Blair is seen by many as a liar, some take the view "all politicians are liars" and that at least he's a liar people are familiar with. Howard still hasn't made the impact many had hoped the leadership change would bring for the Tories.

I can see Labour winning.

'Howard doesn't really have that much of an appeal.

Nah, Labour will lose some seats but still win easily.

prediction:It will the closest election ever

At least Crap Labour has managed to increase the minimum wage every year, making life a tad more comfy for more of the lower and working class, look at the wider picture and they have done more good for this country in general.

Reminds me of Animal Farm! 4 legs good 2 legs bad! it didnt work in Russia and it didnt work on the Farm so why would it work in UK? Sorry in every part of life as we know it there are Leaders and followers.

Wow, it's a long time since I've seen IB on the forums.

I would be very interested to see the election results if the voting form actually had 'Abstain' as one of the options.

For my part, I'm voting Labour. More because I couldn't bear to see the Tories ruin the economy and the fact that I'm terrified of what the Lib Dems might do to the country than any faith in their ability to improve the country.

The UK requires massive social reform, and this is not on the agenda of any of the running parties. Instead we have the persecution of immigrants, the condemnation of relativism, distortion of statistics to suit whoever is speaking and pointless bickering over non-issues.

And we all lap it up and nod our heads, because most people picked a side long before any of the campaigns fired up anyway. Amusing that we're all forced to pick the most suitable manifesto, when really we should be putting the agenda to the politicians, for them to find out how the country should be run.

Oh well.

To be fair, I'd still choose Labour over conservative, but I don't trust EITHER party would rather NEITHER of them got to power again.
Having said that, if either of them got into power then I wouldn't leave the country, which is probably more than can be said for the BNP.
Someone told me they want to bring back national service...
Forget that!!!
Especially if the wars are anything like Iraq's!

There's no point in voting anyway, the corporations and Murdoch have already decided who is going to win.
