It is irrelevant anyway.
All politicians are lying thieves; bought and paid for a long time ago.
They don't care about you, your family or even the country. All they want is to be elected.

Please get your facts right.
It was Union members that voted. The Unions haven't had a block vote for a long time.

People need to understand what they are actually voting in the broadest sense. Not merely issues that effect their own pockets. Which seems to be the current limitation of political discussion.
This needs to be put in big letters outside polling stations, and in lots of other places tbh.It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Didn’t realise he was talking about PM question time as when has that ever been a serious discussion.0 -
Ed Milliband isn't going to be a PM so it doesn't matter that he won. Just like William Hague he's a leader who is never going to win an election.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
