General Election Tomorrow

Acrylic-bob · 20-04-2008, 07:15

After the last few months of sitting back watching the Prime Minister and his Cabinet shoot themselves, and each other, in the foot on every available occasion as well as forcing said injured limbs into their gobs every time they have opened them.

Which way would members be likley to vote if a general election were called tomorrow

Why have you made it a public vote? I am sure many people wont vote now.

jaysay · 20-04-2008, 10:41

I think I might just vote Tory

Agreed.

The poll should be a secret ballot, besides whoever heard of a General Election on a Monday?

Now now Garinda, theres no shame in admitting you're a Tory.

To be honest if the election was tomorrow I don't know who I'd vote for.

I've said before that the current government reminds me of the last Major government, and all the associated sleaze that went with it.

An on going war, tax increases for the lowest paid, attempts to block public viewing of M.P.'s expenses, a leader with the charisma of a garden gnome.

I'm just hoping that there is long enough before an election for some of these issues to be addressed, but I doubt it.

Well i voted for tory but im not old enough to vote for real :P

cashman · 20-04-2008, 15:09

after many years of voting religiously, after a few years of "President Blair" i decided that they were now all "*******" and stopped wasting my time.

Having lived through 19 yrs of Tory rule, who in their right minds would want them back, they destroyed the health service, they made the poor even poorer, and the yuppies got fat, they brought in the dreaded poll tax, and will again in another name

Labour aren't the answer, but of the 2 its the better alternative for me, the other parties are wonderful ideals maybe but in reality not a viable alternative

Not voting is never on my agenda, my father and generations before him fought for that right, who am I to spit on their graves. How would I complain about anything if I hadn't even bothered to vote

If people took Labours history into account pre-1997, nobody would have voted for them either. As it happened, people gave them another chance, and they were very different to how they used to be.

Just a thought.

Well, there is an election in 2 weeks time. But does it matter? The government will still be there. I find it quite amazing that Brown is whinging about the rigged Rhodesian election when all Mugabe has done is a variation on the voting scam. At least in Africa the people who voted were the locals;whether that vote was counted, treble counted or slung on the rubbish tip is irreleveant. Thanks to John Prescott's disgraceful British postal voting system, all swathes of people were robbed of their vote in the first instance.

yours was not not the only father n family who fought in the wars, n to say they fought for the "Right to Vote" is utter rubbish,it was more about "Conscription" n a evil pig called "Adolf"n many joined up in droves to " Fight fer the Country" to say people who disagree with yer view are "Spitting on their Graves" is insulting as far as i'm concerned, but if that fits in yer " Narrow Mind" fair enough.

I sort of agree, except the present day Tories, with their all minorities embracing, hug a hoodie, wishy-washiness, are about as close to Thatcher's reign of terror as New Labour are to socialism.
