It appears most people have the view that all parties are pretty much the same and lets face it we don?t really trust any of them that much.

However there does seem to be an overriding difference between the three parties that stands out a mile and that has a huge impact on us all i.e. it appears that only the Conservatives believes that we should have freedom and that the state should not control our lives, for example:

  1. That the state should not take more and more of our hard earned money and decide how it is spent (and very often spend it far less efficiently than us)
  2. That the state should not be allowed to tell us what we can or cannot do every minute of the day (and then ironically not deal very well with crime).
  3. That the state should not tie us all up in ever increasing red tape and legislation whether you are a business, a teacher, a medical professional, a Police officer etc. etc.
  4. That the state should not take it upon themselves to give away our sovereignty and rights to Europe without asking us first (and lets not forget the many who died in wars fighting for our rights and sovereignty).
  5. The list goes on and on.

If the above is important to us it appears that the Conservatives are the only choice.
We know what Labour are about in terms of the state (we have seen it in practice for 13 years) and it looks like the Liberals are no different (just hopefully a lot nicer, cleaner and charming about it). PS I am not a troll btw just in case you were wondering

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than vote Tory, so Mr or Mrs Activist you may think you've chosen a very MN name, but you are a little transparent.

Am seriously considering hiding the politics section. This is irritating me now...but before I do:

  1. I actually spend my money very inefficiently - I think the govt probably do better. 2)[has a look round] nope I havent got GB in the corner telling me to calm down and stop shouting at the dcs. Shame. And crime is actually down is it not - apart from rape. 3)Sigh. 4)They haven't given away our sovereignty tho have they now are we in the euro. Dont bring the war into it - havent you heard we're all supposed to be over it. 5)Thats not a very good end to a list.

I dont know why people bother doing this - it doesnt actually work does it because we just get annoyed at MN being invaded by people who think we're stupid and want to lecture us.

grr

and before labour, we saw what the Tories did to it for 18? or so. (is that right?)

No thanks to that.
