Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[The Mad Rapper]

Well I sit corrected. Thanks all.

I now feel like we get the tax shaft even more

Petrol is subject to fuel duty, not VAT. A VAT increase shouldn't affect the cost of petrol.

Talk to your book-keeper or accountant, fuel is subject to Vat, trust me I know.

Unless you put everything through as car allowance then you still subject to vat but you cant claim it back.

I voted labour.

I really wanted not too but had visions of my nana and granddad turning in their graves if i didn't vote for them.

And a damn good reason that is.

Well it's as good a reason as any I suppose.

That's fantastic - how did they feel about the increase in NI to help keep socialism alive?

 

[Von Smallhausen]

More hip than Michael Howard.

While his stint as leader is debatable, he was one of the most forbidable Home Secretaries this country has had.

The Conservative guy in my area is an absolute joke "Jacob Rees Mogg" so that leaves Labour and LibDem. The chances of Libs getting in is about the same as them being a majority so that leaves Labour. To be fair Dan Norris has a very big presense in the area and has sorted quite big local issues.

Would vote for Dan in a heartbeat if he was an independent but don't really want to give Labour a vote

Not decrying that, just a sad fact of life that the Conservatives needed a younger face to lead their 2010 campaign.

Would they not have respected your decision to vote for who you like ?

I live in a staunchly Labour Tyneside seat yet I have never voted Labour and I do not hail from a priviledged background.

He certainly was formidable home sec. Just as Ken Clarke was about THE best Cancellor of the exchequer we have ever had.

Sorry lucasade, I should have said that wasn't a dig at your comment.

My point is we could do with a HS of his calibre at the present time.

 

[snowdog]

Now that I think of it, while you lack a liberal-conservative party, the best thing for the UK would be a coalition of the tories and libdems, hopefully this would create a right wing liberal-conservative government. Anything but social democrats that also happen to be authoritarian ****s. I don't even know how you can vote for a party that is both left wing and authoritarian, those 2 traits is the worst possible combination.

Of course, but I know how important voting labour was to them and I didn't have any other reason to vote otherwise. It was that or spoil my vote, at the last minute decided to vote for them.

It's very illogical, but I seriously couldn't care if people don't understand (ie the 'Dear god' comment above) I just know if I asked them who I should vote for, even with Brown doing such a bad job, I'd get the same answer from all 3 of them and it would be Labour.

Salt of the earth, working class people, fought for their Country and worked down the mines, it really is in-bedded in to me how evil Conservatives are, and no matter what the spin is, I simply cannot shake their hatred for them.

You live on in memory, and my memory of them is how serious all this was to them even if it means sweet FA to me, I feel like I did the right thing honouring what they stood for.

 

[Semiskimmed]

not voting for any of them, when either of them get in we will be screwed. and theyll all be filling their pockets and taking care of their own...

Right here people. This is why democracy fails hard.

LOL, guess you are a Tory voter?

 

[snowdog]

Yes they do, I get just under 10,000 pounds a year :S

Wow, are uni's in the UK really that expensive, all uni's here are 1650€ py, it's regulated by the government so everybody can afford to go to uni ? 10k to go to uni is ridiculous.

 

[Gypo]

Labour all the way.
