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?

Take a wild stab in the dark

Caligula · 12/04/2005 18:42

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?

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 18:42

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

Oh easy then. Che Guevara, natch!

mummytosteven · 12/04/2005 18:43

a)I didn't
b)probably Labour
c)NHS and Education.
d)JFK for similar reasons vp!

Caligula · 12/04/2005 18:44

Ooh, you'd catch something from JFK M2S, he was such a raging Satyriac!

mummytosteven · 12/04/2005 18:45

have to use a condom and a femidom then caligula to be on the safe side

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 18:45

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.

a) Labour
b) Labour (best of a very bad bunch)
c) family- and working mother-friendly stuff.
d) shudder

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 18:51

Also Alistair Campbell - who i ve met a few times - is well worth one.

Caligula · 12/04/2005 18:52

LOL!

That's the best PR I've ever heard him get!

JoolsToo · 12/04/2005 18:52

have you no standards?!

anonymouschap · 12/04/2005 18:55

labour
labour
making sure the tories don't get in
erm, pass - i honestly can't think of any attractive, interesting mp's who have ever engaged my attention

Caligula · 12/04/2005 18:55

JT you haven't told us who your preferred politician is for a bit of the other?

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 19:00

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

OP posts:
snafu · 12/04/2005 19:03

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

hoxtonchick · 12/04/2005 19:05

bakedpotato · 12/04/2005 19:05

b/ Lib dem
c/ Iraq
d/ this is shameful, but always had a thing for Ian Lang

RudyDudy · 12/04/2005 19:08

a) labour
b) labour
c) the thought of what would happen to the NHS and schools under the tories makes my blood run cold
d) really struggling....does Josh Lyman count???

bakedpotato · 12/04/2005 19:09

I messed that up a bit

Sometimes I like to be taken firmly in the Centre. This is me talking about hot issues {http://www.matthewtaylor.info/surgery.htm\with Mmmmathew Taylor}

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.

Gobbledigook · 12/04/2005 19:27

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!
