It's a faint hope, but hey we are a democracy!

Post by stephen500 »

Thursday elections are being held.
For the general election, I intend to vote Labour.
I know, you will say "Mandelson started the privatisation ball rolling"
But after experience of this coalition, the worst Labour government always appears to be better then the best conservative/coalition one.
I can't vote this Thursday, no election here!
But if you can vote, please make sure you do.
Perhaps consider voting for whoever will give Cameron and Clegg the bloodiest nose.
It's a faint hope, but if this coalition does really badly, they may just fall apart and result in the next few months in a vote of confidence.
Hey presto General Election, Labour rides to the rescue and Moya Greene relived of her responsibility.
I know, it's a wonderful dream, but it's the best hope I can think of.
Any way to see Cameron and Clegg get trounced at least adds some light relief, so get out and vote..please :Very Happy

I agree everyone get out and vote, preferably Labour.

This wretched ragbag that calls itself Labour today stands for globalisation, regionalisation, rule by Brussels, and ‘British jobs for the cheapest imported workforce’. In power, Blair and Brown fawned over failing bankers and genuflected before irresponsible speculators. Jet-setter Anthony Blair now pockets £7million-a-year; he has at least seven houses – one worth £5million - and more than £20mill in the bank. Oligarch enthusiast ‘Lord’ ­Mandelson, who made more than £2million out of the EU gravy train, has a £180,000-a-year pension and a £5 million mortgage... People’s party, my arse. Miliband shows no sign of being any better. In fact ‘Red Ed’ seems happy to be part of the hypocritical new elite, alongside Cameron and Clegg. They’re all busy selling the birthright of the English, and all British people, down the river – including our liberties and our democracy. Tens of thousands will protest-vote UKIP on May 2nd because they want this process of deceit and betrayal to stop. I don’t hammer my colours to any political party, but it’s a protest that needs to be registered – and loudly :cuppa
