    See thats what I think buttons, one of the questions was something like do you think if someone not born in this country commits a crime they should be deported, well its not really a yes or no question is it, are they going to deport a 60 year old granny thats lived here for 55 years cos she shoplifted a packet of sweets? I knew I shouldnt have bothered looking and just let OH sort it all out for me :o

    Seth is doing my swede in today, he keeps pulling out the drawer on the tv unit and standing in it, but then tried to crawl out and obviously thats going to hurt, dragging your legs over a hard edged bit of wood, cue massive squinnies and a quick mummy cuddle (dont want to make too much fuss of him doing a booboo ;)) and the little sod just goes straight back over and does it again! Silly boy.

    Glam, we are cows milk only now, but thank you anyway xx huge DOH at passing them on to me and then using it anyway!! They might have expired by now though, you never now!

    Well any vote that is not for one of the 2 parties that could possibly get in is a complete waste of a vote so you may as well not bother.. it has only been a 2 horse race for the last 100 years.. it is no different this time!!

    Gordon Brown is pig ugly and Cameron is just too sleazy.. couple of years we will be hearing all about his sordid little affairs with his secretaries!.. At least that won't happen with Brown lol.. *shudders at the thought*

    But your MP can still make a difference even if they are not from one of the two main parties.

    And I thought Gordon Brown's wife did used to be his secretary but maybe I imagined it.

    This time I think you might be wrong pigpen - I suspect this time it's a three horse race.

    I've just done the voteforpolicies survey and it gave me the party I was planning to vote for anyway, although a third of my policies are in line with the Green Party.

    Surprised it wasn't more, actually.

    :rotfl: Susan, one of them on my clickthrough page is my brother - I think they display friends and friends-of-friends first.

    Although I'm glad my brother is taking an interest in politics.

    :eek::eek::eek:

    That really shocks me Sami.

    I do not for a second want to start a debate about politics but I would have thought you would be someone who is interested and wanted to exercise their right.


    I give my staff time off to go and vote because I believe it is important that they should.

    I'm surprised too! Sami, I really thought you would have voted.

    I always tell OH around election time he will have no right to moan about tax & government stuff if he can't be bothered to vote but he always says his one little vote won't change anything.
    I vote & then have a good old moan about everything! :rotfl:
    Why are you shocked? Do I give off some kind of vibe?
    I've never voted ever - lazy!
