:yawn: voted
Woken up at 6:30 am to drive parents to polls and then station as they're buggering off to Paris for the weekend. Can't go back to sleep since plumber's due at 9.
All of you bastards vote. And anyone who votes Conservative obviously doesn't remember what it was like in the 80s. Still remember when I was 18, sat in Business Studies class, and the teacher was going 'aren't you excited? You can vote now!'
us : 'Yeah, we'll vote to kick the conservatives out, but it's not that big a deal. Politicians are all the same.'
Eight years of Blair hasn't really changed my views much on this. Though at least these days they're more likely to admit they're gay/into s&m before being found with a black plastic bag over their head and an orange in their mouth.
Still, vote, you bastards, unless you really want Howard to win. And no-one wants that tosser in parliament.

They're as bad as each other
Howard is admittedly just as bad but at least he's addressing some issues of concern and not pretending they don't exist. Granted if (by some fluke) they do get in power he’ll probably deny having addressed them at all, at least there is a chance he might try and do something about issues like crime, immigration etc. Rather than just blatantly lie about figures.
Also can you really feel comfortable having a government in charge who's incompetent labour ministers have effectively denied 80% of service men and women aboard the right to vote. (For anyone that didn't catch it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/04/15/nelec315.xml ). Incompetence or taking out the chance of competition?
They're all a bunch of useless creatures that should really be chained to the bottom of the ocean but they’re the choices we’ve got, and I do fancy a change of idiocy every few years.
Just my two cents.
