I really don't want 20% VAT though.......those who make abroad can take the hit on margin but we would have to increase the RP.

Don't forget national insurance increase. I think personally think labour will have to hit the average person harder than any other party with tax increases as they seem unwilling to cut.
Everyone having less money will have more of an impact on the highstreet than a few IMHO.

Thanks for the link...looks like I am in a neck and neck ward between Tory and Labour. Dam....

Not everyone, Really. Those on benefits won't lose a penny.

So that's all right then.

I wish they would have a box on the paper titled "None of the above"

For student union elections, you get a choice of RON (re-open nominations) meaning none of the above. Guessing it's not a viable choice for something like the general election?

Up until tonight, I was 100% convinced on who to vote for...now I am wavering.

Would never be Labour though......

Eldest is absolutely gutted, too young to vote and he really really wants to and he knows exactly who he would vote for...the same party he is standing for in the school elections (they are not the ones in red).

I know what you mean......a vote for Lucas would have been perfect for me too.......oh well...I need to think about it a bit more.

I just don't feel that Cameron, though a decent type, has any idea what it is like to be Lower-Middle Class...not by any stretch of the imagination....however, have we benefitted from a Labour Govt personally? I don't know TBH.

I once spent all day campaigning. And then voted against the candidate I'd campaigned for, as I did know two of the candidates, and rated one over the Conservative. Felt rather good, to be honest - I'd done my party bit, but my vote was mine!

I find that strangely endearing but also utterly baffling.

I can't imagine an allegiance to 'the party' that could override my knowledge that on an individual basis, I was backing the wrong horse.

Clearly why you are in politics and I am not.

I remember My old Dad has been working his socks off in his area as it is a close call. My mother has been stuffing envelopes furiously but won't do canvassing as she get's a bit scared when people don;t chare her adoration for Cameron.

Well, I haven't had one knock up so far from either. Gutted I can't vote for Lucas but do you think the Green my end of town stands a chance?

negligible (66/1).

Tories are 1/7 implying an 85% chance of winning Brighton Kemptown.
Labour are the challengers (4/1)

I did discuss it with my 'connection'' and it was loyalty to the party as he was an elected person too (council) but the MP for the opposition was a far better working MP..so in local he went with the party and national, with the best MP in his view.

It may be you need to adapt to the changing situation whoever gets in fc.

If your meaning for things to carry on the same or similar as it is then we may end up bankrupt or in a even bigger mess as a country.
