General Election

Like in 1987 we will give the incumbent party one term too many.  This will be the last Labour government in this particular series.  Blair will step down after 18 months to two years.  It is the belief that 'Vote Labour and you will get cuddly gordon Brown' that has helped to sway it for Labour. 

I think the Lib dems wil make huge gains this time and are close to becoming the official opposition.

This is my feelling too. Ever since they set the election date is has
been the Lib Dems I have seen as the ones who are under Labour, not the
Tories anymore. I will be happy if Gordon Brown takes over if Tony
steps down.



This is the first election I will be allowed to vote in (was under 18 last time) and I have made my mind up.

This will be the last Labour government in this particular series. 

So does that mean you think the Lib Dems will get in come 2010? Because I can't see us having another Tory government for at least 20 years. It will take that long for someone decent enough and not tainted by past mistakes to come through the ranks.

I have been speaking to 2 of my freinds today, both the same age as me
and they said they aren't voting and they don't really care who gets
in. The same came from a colleague at work. I know this kind of thing
is down to the individual but I think we should all have a say in who
runs our  country! By
voting you are then intitled to have your say about how things are, e.g
the NHS and education. In a few years time they could have had children
and that means hospital and schooling.



Just wanted to get that off my chest

I agree Choccy - if you don't vote, your friends will follow you about saying 'hang on, you said you didn't do politics!' every time you say anything even vaguely related.

I still haven't decided if i will vote (I know i have only got a few hours left) What they all tell us they are going to change is just a 'wish list' as someone put it the other day.

Lies was another description!

AGHHHHHHH i don't know what to do

Our MP lost her seat. We have swung from labour to Tory here in Peterborough. The Tory candidate made outrageously exaggerated claims about immigration to win and the sad fool fell for it. What's he gonna do now? He won the seat but his party lost the election - some of the people he is dissing have lived in Peterborough longer than he has!

My MP retained his seat last night and he was even featured on the news coverage. Well done Nigel Beard!

I am tracting what I said, he lost his seat to the Tories.
