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?

Size isn't everything, you know.

SeaShells · 12/04/2005 19:55

a) LABOUR
b) LABOUR
c) Best of a bad bunch, plus they've done alot for families like ours
d) Erm none!

JoolsToo · 12/04/2005 19:57

quite mi! - I wouldn't kick him out of bed anyway!

anchovies · 12/04/2005 19:59

I was going to vote labour but may have changed my mind! Check out our conservative candidate, 6'8" and a former world record holding oarsman mmmmmmmmm

WideWebWitch · 12/04/2005 20:01

A) Labour
b) Labour again I suppose
c) Dunno, have to think about that
d) I have admitted to fancying Blair before but I don't any more, he looks haggard (ooh, we'd be a matching pair!) so no idea really.
lol at you lot and your links! Overly smooth looking for my liking, all of 'em. Ooh, Campbell actually, yes, I think so.

Caligula · 12/04/2005 20:02

Looks good for only one thing.

(And that's not running the country!)

WideWebWitch · 12/04/2005 20:03

Ooh, quite agree Caligula, he's niiiiiice isn't he? But I just couldn't shag a Tory. I may have done in the past of course but not knowingly

WideWebWitch · 12/04/2005 20:04

That was @ Alex Story btw!

muminlondon · 12/04/2005 20:07

snap Countess Dracula! I think we're in the same constituency. Although I think the Lib Dems are wishy washy on education anyway, and their local income tax idea is rubbish.

There is something attractive about Campbell. And he's one of the few key Labour figures with his kids in the local comp.

hoxtonchick · 12/04/2005 20:09

dp has just pointed out A Campbell isn't technically an mp, but do we care...?!

Caligula · 12/04/2005 20:11

I remember a friend telling me that she realised when she could no longer kid herself that she was in her prime, like Miss Jean Brodie, but just an old trout; it was when the idea of shagging a politician had become acceptable and even quite pleasing.

You do realise that some of us have got to old trout stage now, don't you?

JanH · 12/04/2005 20:13

Plus he is a passionate, genuine supporter of a genuine (if fairly crappy) football team; none of your Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal nonsense. I think I like him more for that than anything else

Gobbledigook · 12/04/2005 20:16

Hang on a minute - what's wrong with supporting Man U?! They happen to be our local team!

motherinferior · 12/04/2005 20:17

Am well beyond old trout myself, Caligula, I am a postive coelocanth.

paolosgirl · 12/04/2005 20:17

a. Labour
b. Tory
c. I will never, ever forgive Tony for the war. Oh and for not changing the 'horrendous' tory policies after 8 years that he has discovered were actually pretty sound. And for being completely hypocritical (state education? Not for my kids, thanks)
d. Anne Widdecombe

WideWebWitch · 12/04/2005 20:17

Yes, I think I could! Oh please don't let Fiona Millar be a mumsnetter! Ha ha Caligula, at the trout thing. True, true.

JoolsToo · 12/04/2005 20:18

not a patch on AD!

Gobbledigook, if anyone here was SERIOUSLY left wing they wouldn't be voting Labour.

Whoever said they fancy Matthew Parris - Isn't he gay?

Labour

Green/libdem, but I would love to vote for a proper Labour party as that's where my heart is and I would vote for this lot if I knew Gordy would be PM.

Not what it should be (why we have no real industry to back up our economy and noone bothers to invest in production any more to give us a sound base from which to invest in education, training, health care, decent public transport and so on. I know. Dull). It will be something superficial and more about perception than reality.

God I'm a cynical old cow.

Emotive issues? What - like school discipline? Police? Spending? Dh advises Govt on tax issues - and even he says Labour are way off.

helsy · 12/04/2005 20:26

Oh, didn't have a d). Still don't. John Smith was quite brainy and cuddly all mixed up together.

paolosgirl · 12/04/2005 20:27

Re the war - who knows? But the fact is that Tony was in power and he sent men off to their death (who are still there, btw, and still being killed, so it's not over and done with) on the basis on nothing. Shame on him.

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 20:28

Paolosgirl: Besides - as mentioned - fact the Tories would have supported the war, you are cross with Tony for implementing Tory policies, but you re punishing him by... voting Tory. Eh?
