Don't tarnish the all the working classes with the same brush. That's precisely why they don't like the Tories - because they are looked down upon as inferior, ITV-watching, NOTW-reading simpletons in some way... or at least that's the perception, and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Very true and i agree, its the middle (wanting to be upper class bunch) that will disregard the NOTW as its ''working class'' tabloid trash.

Someone of upper class will of course not read a tabloid newspaper:rotfl:

the police have been massively pro tory politically since thatcher.

I do know more than a little bit about voting habits and elections, and particularly media 'influence'

as for myself, I'm very firmly in the 'none of the above' camp

Well good cos Labour have really screwed them over this time and introduced some iditiotic policies to policing. And that stupid cow we call a home secretary hasn't helped matters. Give them the right to strike and then they would be taken seriously.

Actually do you think this is true of individual officers? Maybe as an organisation. I have just asked my OH who has been in for 4 years and he says he didn't really know that they were pro tory? I suppose officers around since Thatcher may think differently but they are mainly near retirement or already gone by now.

was tempted to vote BNP for a laugh but realised it was a public poll so plumped tory!

Ideally I'd like the F'in lot of them shot and Charles to take over as a benevolent dictator.

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

Shame on you, mollypolly and pickles! :rolleyes:

They're entitled to their own views though, whether you agree with their choice or not.

I haven't suggested that anyone should vote Labour, I directed Tory supporters to the fiscally libertarian arm of the Lib Dems.

There are plenty of Tory voters here - Gen, epz, Mel (though she's not been about for a while) who seem more like fiscal libertarians rather than Socialists or Tory interventionists. I'm suggesting looking for a truly radical change.

Personally I'd like to see a Montagist government introduce a land value tax, combined with a citizens income.

It's ok Guy_Montag. When democracy is shown as the failed experiment and I'm running things I'll bring you in as Minister for Beer or something equally important.

You need a pretty long memory to go back to the last libertarian Liberal politician of note!

I'll be voting getting out of politics altogether and voting lib-dem, as can be seen on the poll.

I realised I'd made a mistake in voting lab in '97 when, during the bbc coverage of election night, an immaculately dressed ken follet (author) presented his wife with a glass of champagne and the words 'well done darling! this is absolutely splendid! (his wife had just secured a seat for lab somewhere in the home co.s).

hardly the type of greeting the horny-handed sons and daughters of old lab would give to each other.

this was an early warning of things to come, and I hang my head in shame when I think that by voting for lab I was complicit in their wrongdoings.

but vote tory? a party led by a man who looks and sounds like he wants to sell you double-glazing?

an eton-educated cabal at the top of the organisation which will be driven by the desire to maintain/extend the interests of the class they represent, to be sure.

is it any wonder they're called 'toffs on tour' within their own party.....

btw, can anyone tell me exactly how bit-part actor and wannabe archaeologist ('welcome to Time Team as we explore the possibilities of f***ing up yet another site of historical importance) tony robinson got himself elected to lab's NEC? I'm just aching to know...

and I'm sure little tony brought a wealth of political experience and powerful insight to lab's governing body.

Let get real. Most people's vote is irrelevant. the people who decide electons are floating voters in about 100 marginal consituancies. So about 500k people.

For all the rest it doen't really matter who you vote for.
