    Glam there's a few sites where you answer questions on certain policies and it tells you at the end which one you most agreed with. The BNP ones stand out like a sore thumb too :rotfl:

    Read the manifestos, listen to the debates and go with whoever ticks the most boxes for you.

    I used to go mental at my ex because he just voted the same way his parents voted without even bothering to check out if the politics aligned with his thinking at all!!


    Edit - don't try and read the whole manifestos!! They are massive, there is usually a summary on each party website.

    It's OK I'll read the whole thing :D
    Nah just kidding - need to get some quiet time to do it really. Just not got round to it yet.

    Caz, my tummy has started to go down today, been wearing jogging bottoms most of the week, felt like the first trimester again bleurgh! Glad you're feeling okish. And also woohoo for money, but watch, we have had payments like that before renewal and they have then cut our weekly payments (the equivalent of the one off payment over the weeks, why the hell do they do that?)

    Thanks! I just found the telegraph one - hope they can't track my answers lol!
    I sound like a right militant :o

    Anyway, it confirmed what I was thinking in the back of my mind anyway.
    So Thanks!

    Oh and I must say, I love the Tory campaign posters with GB's ugly mug on 'em! :rotfl:

    The Conservatives are planning to reduce the Surestart centres aren't they? :mad: And/or make them only for poor people (i.e me :p). ??

    glad its not just my stomach doing it! i was parinoid that someone would ask and i would have to admit it was fat/wind PMSL!
    Charlie had his 1st app with the nursery doctor who went over all his notes etc and now a plan can be put into place. he was a little booger and on the way out to the bus this morning he ran out in front of a car!!!!!! this terrified both me and the nurse and she told him off as i think i could have shaken him? to be fair i think he was running to the new car as it was parked across the road but it still gave us all a HUGE fright!
    What's for you won't go past you

    I meant to say Caz, at least one good thing came of his hospital visit, you have a 'witness' to his quirks.

    Hope you get some plan soon and it starts to work, it's hard work when they are like that.

    Who are BNP? Apparently I agree strongly with them.

    Now, do I put that on facebook and have my mate who's in the labour party start a debate with me?
