Exciting times (especially for those of us living in Lib Dem/Labour marginals)

Independent: Vote for Lib Dems will not let in Tories. "[T]he Tories
come nowhere near to passing the winning post of 324 seats they would
need to form a government. Crucially, if enough people switched from
Labour to the Liberal Democrats, Mr Kennedy's party would start to win
seats instead of the Tories -- so the result would be a hung
parliament rather than a Tory government."

Personal insults? Not something I do, everyone is entitled to their opinions, so anything ANYONE wants to say is acceptable to Me, although it does annoy Me when people quote non truths and seem to actually believe them (and no that wasn't a jibe at you, simply the way I work with everyone).

Support for labour, one stance... Iraq, sorting out the country needed to be done, as I've said in previous posts, I've seen the results of ex-dictatorships personally, lying to the public as to motives, very wrong.

I take it you answered yes to all the statements? i.e yes you've seen employers close shop, and no new companies taking their places... Maybe the unemployed have already emmigrated in an effort to boost blairs 'unemployment' record?

And since I mentioned poverty in Britain in My first post here, and was replied to with links to some unknown website, here's a little info for you
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/story.jsp?story=607643
perhaps another new tax would mean these people had more money? lol

Wonder if you're aware that labour are seeking to *again* change the way poverty in Britain is calculated? (currently: households 60% or less of the average income) am sure that any change would shuffle the figures to look nice (just like unemployment, health and education figures)

I hope that many of the posts here have just been a joke, and that you all saw common sense and voted properly!

I notice a post more recent from a guy who admits he's not going to vote, his reasons seem calculated, he's read up, and finds that nothing really fits into what he believes, also admitting that under certain policies of what would probably be his chosen policy that even he himself could be worse off. A balanced educated view. Lets hope more people look at the real policies.

On a lighter note, did anyone see the 3 main candidates on the news yesterday evening? OMG, Liberals didn't seem to give anything, although appeared relaxed. Conservative, looked like he was was on the verge of a nervous breakdown (then again, I am too with the worry of a 3rd term dictatorship!) also repeatedly fell into a campaign pitch on policies rather than answer questions he was asked? Labour, worried look also, though not as bad as Conservative, did anyone notice the way that when he quoted things he knew could be disproved his eyes drifted down at to his right, whilst the rest of the time he looked straight at the camera? (Someone MUST have a recording, or is probably online anyway).

Oh, and you're right, you don't know Me, Name's Steve, I kinda stumbled across this place and found many of the comments on subjects interesting/humourous.

I take it you answered yes to all the statements?

No, I answered 'not as many as under the Conservatives' to every question. Otherwise, i would hardly have considered your arguments persuasive in favour of labour, would I?

I hope that many of the posts here have just been a joke, and that you
all saw common sense and voted properly! Of course, every vote cast is 'proper' voting. Even a spoilt ballot makes a difference. Even a vote for the BNP is a vote.

If by 'proper' voting you mean we voted Conservative, no, of course I didn't. I'm a socialist, I vote Lib Dem.
