I am as a labour party supporter, or sorry was a labour party supporter now so disillusioned mainly because of the claims for 2nd homes and that applies to all party's. Although maybe within the rules certainly not within morality, and I am in despair, so I will be doing something that has disgusted me, I will no longer vote.Low Carb High Fat is the way forward I lost 80 lbs

Do you suppose s/he would listen?
The prime characteristic of all politicians is that they tell us.
Very few of them seem to have a listen facility.0 -

I don't know. I don't see that it could hurt and I think it would be more powerful than simply not voting. I think its interesting that people would identify a party with their own polica beliefs, fall 'out of agreement' with the party but not the belief, and not protest at that. Its different to a floating or disinterested voter not voting.0 -

David Miliband is more NuLabour contempt and arrogance. Yup vote him in and Labour will be in the wilderness for a good long time. Hell I might even join Labour to vote him in.0 -

The Milibands' father was very traditionally left and they were, as I understand it, brought up with a strong Marxist ideal. Its intersting that this should be 'rejected' so. But, by no means unusal.0 -

Interesting. I like his brother Ed - genuinely decent bloke it seems, but David is a plonker.0
