There isn't really much option at the moment other than vote for the main two parties - I suppose we could consider the one with the name like a chinese vase but what exactly are they about at the moment (they seem to have vanished).

When the general election comes along we'll be making the decision between the two leaders but I'm a bit worried for Hyndburn if that happens. We happen to have a very good local MP in Greg Pope, he really cares about his constituents and works very hard at a local level with them (and yes, I know he's not on every other page in the paper telling us that he's doing this like other people do, he's just getting on with it). I just hope that people vote locally although I suspect that people will be swayed by the two leaders - it's hard not to be.
