Tories are great if you have a rubbish aim and need to practice throwing eggs - you can start of with St Boris and work your way up to the skinny, more weasely ones as your aim improves! :)

Mind you, don’t think much of labour these days either :(

no, me neither.

But the fucking tories?

There was an item on the news about how they plan to give massive tax cuts to the upper middle class, by raising the maximum level where you pay 40% income tax, increasing the level where you pay inheritance tax… blah blah

They plan to do this by privatising everything that isn’t nailed down, like the DVLA… and by getting rid of 250,000 civil service jobs.

I thought making as many people as they can unemployed backfired against them the last time.

Its just trying to get those mid life, daily mail reading voters that earn around or upwards of £50,000 a year to come crawling back to them with tax incentives.

On the other hand, more civil servants than the population of Sheffield, and more staff in the DWP than the army. Makes you think, don’t it?
Then it makes you go: meh.

I dont feel sorry for the civil servants - I feel sorry that the torys think making quarter of a million people unemployed is an achievement.

I was bored last night and turn to BBC Parliament. Its like a bloody playground, they might as well go:
“With regards to my right honourable opponent’s reference to the economic crisis facing many pensioners in the coming years I say this: Well you SMELL!”

I feel that the Labour party has been more Tory than the Tories for the last five years. Bigger scams and scandals, some initiatives and proposals that would make Norman Tebbitt blanch all that with a good smattering of looney left policy on a local and national level to really wind up the general public.
Not to mention the scale of the lies told by that reprehensible morally bankrupt greasy turd Blair!

Aw fuck them all, no longer live there so should not really care.

This is sort of funny. Just load up the front page of each of these sites. Conservatives
http://www.conservatives.com/
See phrases like ‘timetable for action’, and ‘what we will do’.

and Labour
http://www.labour.org.uk/

‘vote for your favourite poster.’ :rolleyes:

I’m going to vote lib dem, in the certain knowledge that they won’t get to power, and then when everything stays fucked, I can immaturely deny all responsibility ;)

This is what I don’t get you always hear people complaining about the Tories and Labour- but the same people end up voting for one or the other. What’s wrong with the Lib Dems? If people wern’t voting tactically, I think they’d have gotten in by now. In saying that, the voting system goes against their favour as well. Unfortunatly, none of the above stand in Northern Ireland, so we don’t have that luxury.

The Libs don’t stand in Northern Ireland, but view the Alliance Party as their partners over here (the other two just couldn’t be arsed- they don’t need us). I’m gonna vote for them next time (I’m 18 this month, already applied).
