    Answer: "5 more years of Gordon Brown"
    Question: What is the last thing most people with a brain or a job want to hear.

    Can I preserve this post for posterity and remind you of it after 5 years of Cameron and his chums?

    But if you look at the budget and labour policy for the last 6 months. They already are in power.

    Blair was a Toffette
    Darling is a full blown member of the scottish Toffs.
    Shaun Woodward - LAnded Toff
    Mandelson - Desparately wants to Toff a Toff and so be a Top Toffing Toff.

    5 more years of Gordon Brown
    I can't stand it pass me the pills.
    Another 5 years of them and we'll be even more on our knees than we are already.
    They have done nothing for me bar take my money.

    They've put people out of work, they've filled the country to the brim, our hospitals are merely pretty frontages, kids are running riot, you can get arrested for the slightest thing if you are a motorist (not that you can afford to drive anyway). My pension will be worth nothing, I daren't go out after dark........

    You can and if Labour win you can show it to every person running a SME who are going to go bump.
    While Labour try to farm everyone into the public sector or supermarkets.

    PS which part of my post did you not like was it the brain or job bit.:)

    Don't get me wrong I'm no New Labour fan either, but Cameron and his party for the uber-rich and big business are the last thing we need. I'd like to see a PROPER left-of-centre alternative like the very successful Scandinavian countries vote in.

    Both. The implication is clear - you are asserting that it is in everyone's interests, everyone with a job, to vote Conservative. That simply isn't true. How you can come to that conclusion is beyond me. A move further to the right will be a disaster for millions.

    We're going down the same road whoever's in charge.

    Politically it's probably better that Labour are obliged to clear up their own mess as the public sector and utilities unions won't give the Tories a chance.

    If the Tories get in then with all the bad news coming up they'll almost certainly get voted out after 5 years or sooner (even if much of it wasn't of their making). Given how bad Labour have been, then the Tories have been incompetent beyond belief not to be able to exploit it - that hardly augers well for their organisational skills does it?

    If Labour get in - in 5 years they'll have been so discredited that it'll probably be the end of their party for ever.

    So let me get this right.

    You are pro...

    Higher unemployment
    Higher tax
    Lower pensions
    Worse NHS

    What a nice bloke/lass you are.
