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:

What is that saying about every big change that was ever made started with one man.

On behalf of my employer (actually, former employer as of 1 April :cool:), tell your OH he's full of crap! 1 vote can matter, because if everyone said that then no one would win anything.

Yeah - what she said!


Kindof - it is 6th May.

thats my point exactly!
but I can't even decide who I want to vote for

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.

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:

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

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 ). ??
