friends who live in Sidcup gave me your leaflet to read. Very impressive imo. I hope you do well as I think you'd make an excellant MP for your constituants and that is what really matters at the end of the day. Can't say I rate your chances too highly though but good luck anyway.

What do you think of your chances Airman?
Incidentally, your new website looks like it might be interesting. I assume it's new as the homepage appears to be waiting for the election date to be announced.
Dunno about the rest of you but the older I get the more I realise what a bunch of self serving, out of touch, windbags the lot of them are regardless of the colour of their rosette.
I will vote because it's our duty to do so in a democracy but gawd knows who it'll be for at this stage...
For a while I was thinking maybe Conservative. But now I think I might have been having a breakdown.
Who was that Tory MP who, just the other week, was flabbergasted that there were plans to discontinue covering MPs expenses for first class travel as people who travel in standard class are "a totally different type of people".
What was one of the first things on the agenda for their Brighton conference? Repealing the fox-ban. Half of them went to Eton and live in bloody castles. Don't know why so many people think they give a single hoot about the working man.
I'll be voting labour just to try and stop them getting in.
Do we think that a black prime minister would change anything in England, like the Americans thought Obama was going to (not sure if he has dont really follow American Polotics so sorry if thats wrong)?? .
I really thought that conservatives would have it this time but after seeing how many people on here are actually considering voting for Gordon Clown I am actually worried. will be voting Tory I hate to see where this country ends up if that idiot stays Priminister.
[cite]EGAddick[/cite]Second biggest trade deficit in the world
Actually third biggest, behind the USA & Spain. (please not it's very difficult to get anywhere near a trade surplus when the previous government sold off all of our major manufacturing industries to foreign investment)
[cite]EGAddick[/cite]Biggest budget deficit in the world
Once again third biggest behind the USA & Japan.
[cite]EGAddick[/cite]national debt at well over 100% of GDP
National debt is actually at 68.5% of GDP
My recommendation when you pick your party is don't listen to what other people say, look at the facts and make a decision.
Labour
We know what we will get if Labour are re-elected again. The fools that had their hands caught in the till will have disappeared and been replaced by a fresh crop of talented, hopeful, heart-on-the-sleeve committed Labour MPs, desperate to make their mark and, in the main, failing to do so. Sleaze won't stop, but it will reduce: Labour's been caught out and the country doesn't like it. The country's economy will continue to be run in a way most likely to bring about a gentle, depressingly-slow stutter out of recession. The NHS will continue to be costly and wasteful; but will, more importantly, remain in existence. Schools will be funded close to the amounts needed to keep them running properly. VAT will eventually reduce; income tax will probably remain broadly where it is: we'll get to keep most of what we earn, and get the best-possible return when we spend. The Government will spend about 42% of the money you make. Inflation and interest rates will remain low for years to come; but the pound will also not buy you many holiday Euros. Your mortgage will remain cheap for several years. The value of your house will not rise dramatically, but your next up-size won't be too big a step. Most people will keep their jobs; those that don't will be looked after. We will be in debt.
Conservative
Some of us remember what we've had in the past from the Conservatives: those that do will be able to predict what we'd get with a new breed. Sleaze won't stop, it will get worse: the Conservatives will see a win as being a mandate to do whatever they like. So expect MPs' pay to increase almost as fast as their expenses. Hard-working immigrants will find it hard to stay; the ignorant will cheer. The country's economy will boom; but not before we have sunk into a second-dip of a recession which will make the last eighteen months look liek a tea party. (Conservative cuts will strangle the life out of the recovery). The NHS will cost less; but it will achieve much less. Education will cost tax-payers less; but if you can afford private education, you need not worry: there will be two tiers of education and everyone will know which tier they are destined to remain in, permanently. VAT will remain as it is or increase; income tax will reduce: we'll get to keep more of what we earn, but if we have the audacity to try to spend it on luxuries (bread, milk, clothes, nappies, heating) we will pay more for it. The Government will spend about 42% of the money you make. Inflation will remain fairly low; interest rates will increase fairly dramatically; but those with enough holidays will get to spend lots of cheap Euros. Your mortgage will become increasingly expensive, but the your house value will out-strip this. If you want to up-size, you'll have to bridge a big financial gap. Anyone in work wil constantly fear losing it; anyone out of work will be very badly hit. You will be in debt.
Neither party would be perfect; both have advantages and both have significant flaws. But I hope and pray that we do not fall into the hands of the Conservatives again.
I will vote Labour at the election. Anyone considering voting against them has a perfect right to do so, of course. But they should make sure they weight up the oprtions very, very carefully. Then choose anything but Conservative.
anyone who votes Labour --thinks about it or even says the word labour should be shot --- their bodies burned --- and their ashes made into cat litter.

Shame that wont happen, as to many people (like me) just cant vote Tory.
Labour. If I was in a marginal I would vote for whoever was the most likely to defeat the Tory candidate. The thought of being governed by those Eton boys and their Banker friends makes me physically sick!

Top quality post. And I agree wholeheartedly with your conclusion. Sadly, I live in a safe Tory seat, so I shall use my vote to send a message to all the mainstream parties by going Green. I hope millions who live in safe seats held by parties they oppose do the same thing. Fat chance...
