    Personally, I think they are all as bad as each other....but I would never vote Labour :D
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I don't at all
    The fact is, our country cannot support the free for all that labour tried to give us, it was a nice idea, it just wasnt realistic. Its like someone pretending they are rich because they live off credit cards
    The problem is, now, a large part of the voting public have grown up under the labour regime, got used to it, and now don't like it as its time for a reality check. The problem is, these people will now want the current government out and at about the time that the counrty will be on its way to recovery, Labour will be voted back in and ruin it all
    . . . . . . . . . again

    Finished your last sentence for you.

    Er, yes you do? Clearly you're not the sharpest tool in the shed but come on it wasn't that difficult was it? :p

    They condemned millions of first-class people to semi-starvation.

    That's simply not true is it? I find that making up ludicrous claims doesn't normally make for a persuasive argument.

    Viewing the links below it doesn't look like any party has a grip on spending and balanced budgets...
    Very little between all the main parties...just got to do your best with the cash you've got..

    We have a huge budget deficit in the early 1990's....no banking crisis in sight....and hardly a budget surplus in decades..

    The national debt continues to rise at a rapid rate under Tories..

    Many trends signs point to a healthy recovery now under way.

    1 million net new private sector jobs created in 2 years, against the backdrop of Euorpean contraction is in fact quite a staggering achivement.

    I thought you were into in independant thinking, and not following the flock?
