Not so. It never happens. I've been here over 20 years and I think they all imagine I'm a lost cause!

Well obviously they only come round and remind you to vote if they think you're voting their way! But the people asking for your number are usually the ones who can't move around to knock on doors, so they have to ask for everyone's number just in case, then tick off by hand at HQ against who said they were supporters during the canvass.

You obviously know nowt about History nor the public opinion of the late 30s. Comparing this !!!!!! Broon to Chamberlian is borderline treason IMHO.

I don't vote. There's never anything in it for me, so they're all as bad as each other.

For me, voting has seemed like choosing whether to be stabbed at a rate of 2 slashes/second or 3. Nobody's offering a slice of cake.

[devilsadvocate]The earl of Bute maybe? Lord North?[/devilsadvocate]

Though I accept I know waaay more about 18th century PMs than 20th century ones (about whom I know next to nothing!)

My Granny often used to accept a lift from the people who came knocking round, reminding her to vote. Didn't matter which party it was, whichever one turned up first she'd say she was voting for them and let them drive her to the polling station (where she'd vote, possibly for the rival party) and then let them bring her back home.

A bit naughty but what the heck!:rotfl:

There are some posters on here seemingly suggesting that the British Labour Party is somehow responsible for a global economic crisis!

Anyone like to explain how that works exactly? I'd love to know.

It works in much the same way that the British Labour Party seemed to take credit for the boom before the recession.
A boom incidentally that even began BEFORE they were in government.


If you're going to take the credit for the success then be prepared to take blame for the crap.

Death penalty for murder
Death penalty for carrying a concealed knife or gun

So if you already carry a knife or gun, what's the deterrent from actually using it. If you're going to get state murdered if you carry a weapon anyway then you may as well take out a few extra innocents while you're at it.

You didn't think that through much did you?!!

I find it inconceivable that anyone would even consider voting Labour at the next election. Things weren't great under Blair, but Brown has shown that not only was he a disasterous chancellor that he is completely clueless as Prime Minister.

Brown sold the gold reserve cheap, he raided the private sector pensions, he orchestrated a property led boom followed by a disasterous bust - all the time boasting that he has ended the 'cycle of boom and bust'.

Brown was part of a government that allowed millions of european immigrants to come in to the country and do the jobs that millions of professional benefit claimants couldn't be bothered to do. We've now a legacy of over 5 million people on benefits and forms of incapacity benefit (more than at the time of Mrs T when she was sorting out the last Labour mess). We've a huge and bloated public sector that have low productivity and see sick-leave as something to be abused. Brown's policies have created jobs such as 'street football coordinators' and 'five a day councillors' while his government have vastly eroded civil liberties.

Brown has destroyed any idea of being English, his hatred of anyone south of Glenrothes in legendary, add to that the rises in violent crime, red tape on businesses, the additional tax burden.

Only two weeks ago, feeding his ego again, he pledged half a billion pounds to Pakistan - that afternoon Pakistan announced that they had purchased F16 fighter jets from the USA for half a billion - whats the point of giving aid if they spend the same amount on military hardware? Well, it makes Brown look like a world statesman (in his eyes).

Obama wants to close Guantanamo Bay, who will be stupid enough to accept the first 50 terror suspects? No-one is the answer, well no-one except for Brown who is at the moment finding 50 council houses and preparing 50 benefit packages for them - all to make himself look good,

Heaven knows the conservatives aren't perfect, but this government are so out of touch, so clueless and so egotistical that its a matter of urgency for the UK to get rid of them.

The greatest threat to this country comes not from global warming or terrorism, but to the unelected despot that supposedly leads us.

The day he goes we should have street parties and proclaim a day of celebration.

Lets hope this poll works out true to life!

I can't believe you said that! And I bet you're not gorgeous either!

If you think we're having it good you must be ill. We have a government who lie and cheat. A government who have destroyed the NHS, Education, Police Force. People are left to scrounge scraps while living in hovels. Unemployment has risen terrifyingly. The Pound is almost worthless. Huge companies have gone bust (Woolworth's for example - who would have imagined that happening?!)

The nation is stony broke, scores are being made redundant, people are in debt up to their eyeballs, crime is rising daily, prisons are overflowing, people are dying needlessly because the government aren't funding the NHS, children are leaving school without the ability to read and write properly, and we are in a recession soon to be Depression.

You think we're having it good?!?!

Deja Vu - or jaded view - Remember when we had a car industry and mines in the first place.
We are faced with major global issues - at least the current Government is acting in a decisive way and trying to do something. I wouldn't trust David Cameron to run anything - he can't even manage to lock his bike up outside Tesco's.
