    Well it's 14-1-1-0 to the Tories at the moment, it can't be any other way can it ?

    Others- no chance
    Lib Dems- They have Vince but it's no where near enough.
    Labour- presided over the worst boom and bust the UK has ever experienced.
    Conservative- Can win power, unlike Lib Dems, and seriously can they be worse than Clown ?, impossible, surely.

    But why????

    They must read the papers and it's actually the people up north who are hardest hit under the Labour government. Don't they realise that?

    People remember the pain of the last Tory government. Despite all the problems, we have never had it so good as we have over the last 10/11 years.

    The Tories will forever be associated with Margaret Thatcher. They say time is a great healer and it seems that adage is holding true for some. How we forget.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    Totally agree,but they always have and always do.They may moan and groan but when they get to the ballot box god knows what happens.They're like a load of robots.It's a case of my great granddad 29x removed voted Labour and so has everybody else in my family so that means I must as well.
    It's laughable.
