    forums in general have a right wing bias politically

    Why, do lefties want the government to right click the mouse button for them?

    Same pattern developing:T

    Bye bye labour i think, and good riddance:D

    Afghanistan/Iraq
    Benefits system
    Criminal and punishment system
    Immigration
    Taxation -Cost of living - Economy - Housing etc

    These are my main gripes, the current government have a lot to answer for.

    Yes its the NOTW and a typical tabloid newspaper but it's Britains biggest selling that reaches far many more homes than any other national newspaper so i think its a good indication of what the countries ''working class'' people are thinking.

    I have no problem with the war(s).

    The thing I have issue with is I just do not like Gordon Brown.

    I hate the notw, in fact I hate all mass media. Number one on my hate list is the Daily (Hate) Mail.

    This really should have been made an anonymous poll - I can see who voted for each party!

    Shame on you, mollypolly and pickles! :rolleyes:

    It would be good to have a vote for each country i.e. England Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

    I doubt that people outside Scotland would vote for the SNP

    I would not have been against the war if it was handled correclty.
    Going to war against the wishes of United Nations only weakened their ability and told the world that it does not matter what other people think, we will do what we want (actually, we will do what America wants)

    If we are to be part of an assembly, we need to follow the rules decided in that assembly or get out.

    We cannot choose which rules to follow and which ones to break.

    Ok, rant over, lets get away from the war debate or it will be worse than talking about possible house price [STRIKE]crashes[/STRIKE] corrections

    My mistake, cant edit it now.

    Should have made it private yes, but doesn't really matter as its an internet forum, and i doubt very much that anyone actually knows anyone else.

    Interesting to see so many voting for the Tories. Why do you think they will change things? I'm not a typical anti-tory Scot, but I just can't see them changing anything radically. They'll bimble along in the same manner as the Labour party: they're not small government anymore, or low tax.

    You'd be better trying to promote the financially libertarian element of the Lib Dems:

    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
