Just wondered. A little bit political...
a) how did you vote last time (if at all?)
b) how will you vote this time (if at all)?
c) what to you is the deciding issue of this election?
d) if you had to make love (not war) with one politician (past, present, senior or backbench?) who would it be?

a) can't remember
b) labour
c) the fact that my MP voted against the war and can be relied upon to vote against the government on things I disapprove of but with them on things I approve of, plus tax credits and working family credits, which let's face it would never have happened after the tories
d)Does he have to be a British politician?

That should have read under the tories. D'you remember how they used to say childcare is a private matter, nothing to do with government?

Re d) no, i was personally thinking of Bill Clinton. He looks like he knows what to do.

I think JFK would have been a disappointment. He had chronic back problems for a start and was a taker, i reckon, not a giver, partly the age he lived in.

If I had to swing to the right, I'd straddle the Tory's minister for the countryside James Gray, who is very tall, funny and self deprecating. he's better in the flesh

a) labour
b) labour, for want of a truly viable alternative
c) the prospect of having to chew both my arms off if the Tories get in - other than that the NHS and family stuff is big for me
d) I would happily give Campbell one

A to c with Snafu. D, well, I've fancied a bizarre collection of Labour MPs in my time but I reckon it would have to be Clinton, much as it galls me to admit it. I don't even fancy him, but I'm perfectly aware that anyone whoever meets him is, well, gagging for it in about 30 seconds.

What is the point of this thread? I think we all know who 99% of the population of Mumsnet are voting!! It's seriously left wing on here!
