This is what you get with a hung parliament. LABOUR
Are you thinking of tactical voting? Are you fed up with Labour and thinking of voting Lib Dem? Are you fed up with Labour and considering voting BNP, greens or UKIP? Do you want Labour OUT? The only way to get Labour out is to vote conservative. To get them out you cannot risk a hung parliament, because then, all you will end up with [...]
The Conservative Contract
We go into the general election on 6 May with trust in politics and politicians at an all-time low. And I can understand why: the years of broken promises, the expenses scandal, the feeling that politicians have become too remote from the people – they’ve all taken their toll. That’s why I’m making this contract with you. For too long, [...]
Nick Clegg Thinks That We Are All Idiots
Nick Clegg the leader of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK must think that we are a bunch of idiots. In the last of the election debates he kept spouting off how he was going to half classroom sizes in schools. How the hell can this be accomplished?

Thoughts on 2nd Election Debate
I really thought that after last weeks debate being somewhat "same ole same ole" That the party leaders would step up to the mark and show us what they are really made of. sadly, my hopes were in vain. David Cameron's opening speech did show a little promise, as did a few of his answers. He was delivering with conviction and confidence. But on [...]
Why People Have Given Up Voting
Many people today are sick to death with politics, so much so that many are refusing to vote. The major parties are saying (Knowing that it is not true) that it is mainly because of the recent MPs expenses scandal and that we do not trust our MPs. Well that much is true, we do not trust them, but this mistrust has been steadily increasing for [...]
Thoughts on The Election Debate.
After last nights predictable general election debate, where Gordon told his same old bullshit and mistruths, Nick Clegg's middle class do-gooder ideals and Dave Cameron's fairly un-inspiring ideas really failed to help me change my mind on British politics one way or the other. At Least David Cameron did have the guts to reply to Nicks [...]
