Only because when one party fails people just go with the other 'big un' because they are lazy or it's the easy option, or maybe they have a 'better the devil you know' attitude?
If we actually though of voting for the one we think will work best for ourselves rather than the Tories because 'that will get rid of Labour' we might start to move on as a species.

The whole thing is a joke.. i wont be voteing for anyone. this country isnt even our own anymore. 3.000.000 on the dole and and you got some stupid women mp saying theres room for more polish and south africans to come over to work. but your not aloud to say anything coz its racist. the banks are robbering us and the mp's too.. and what happends to them.. thay have to stand up in parliment and say sorry! its a joke. we should be more like australia imo.

The Tories did that two decades ago. Labour's been in for 13 years and they've done nothing about it. Whats the point voting for a Labour party that supports Mrs Thatchers policies? Labour supports privatisation, all of Blair and Brown's talk has always been about private sector being more efficient, how can we utilise the private sector in public sector delivery.

Labour privatised the mobile phone airwaves, parts of the London Underground, schools, hospitals, doctors surgeries and prisons also got flogged, the Post Office is next on the list....

They have hid behind the idea that we "can't turn the clock back", ie the Lady's Not for Turning. Yes we can, just go to the markets and buy them, hey presto they're in public ownership. When the private banks made a pigs ear of the financial sector the government turned up with £131bn to take them into state ownership. If you don't like Thatchers policies don't vote for the parties that support her.

You usually talk a lot of sense maybe you should stick to rugby, something you know about rather than spout all the garbage you have in this thread !
Pretty obvious you know nothing about the economy or politics !

Sally Cinnamon must either be a Civil Servant or a Local Government employee from her comments, and expects a Labour government to nationalise everything that moves.
Just because Labour didn't do as she wanted, she wants a socialist "Utopia", which will never exist. Command socialism requires a virtual dictatorship.
Or is that what you want Sally?

Not a dictatorship Rich I'd be quite happy to have lived under Clement Attlee's government, or Harold Wilson's, the difference in those days was they didn't want to detain you for ever more increasing times without trial, they didn't arrest you for writing a joke on Twitter, they didn't want to push ID cards on everybody. I prefer a society where the State doesn't want to know what you're doing and control every aspect of your life, so no New Labour for me thanks.

spot on...life has got worse under labour and the tories are not much better..as for the rest they have`nt got a cat in hells chance of getting in...going out to vote is 10 minutes of my life i wont get back

The rights and wrongs of politics will be largely irrelevant in the election. The simple fact is Labour should be retained to maintain what little economic growth is occurring. Should we have a change of government, there will be an immediate moratorium on spending whilst they take stock, bringing about an immediate end to whatever momentum we have gained.

I.D cards are a good thing especially for people whom want to holiday in the Euro zone ,rather than spend £100 on a passport they can get an I.D card and use it as a passport so it saves people money .
The only people whom don't want these cards are people who have something to hide, end of the day the application is no different than a passport application and I bet you have one of those !
Every government controls every aspect of everyone's life it's called taxation and security !

The 3 people who voted BNP..........you going to own up?

For the first time definitely and probably for the only time – you have actually posted something sensible that is grounded on the same planet that the rest of us live on.

I agree with Padders and I need a lie-down.

Make that 4 - Are these idiots advocating our black players being kicked out of the country?

40% for Labour. Interesting.

You could have a monkey with a pledge of spending all our tax pounds on a rocket to the moon to cultivate cheese plants, stick a red ribbon on it and he'd still win. A few people i know vote the way they do only because that's who their parents vote for ? Just seems odd to me ?

ID cards. Now theres money Labour have thrown away. ID cards are all well and good, but when people in Manchester have spent £30 on a bit of plastic that won't get them out of the country then its a waste of time. It seems we forgot to tell foreign travel companies about them as well as our own.
