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?

tory health plans are bonkers. hmmm, lets take money out of the nhs & give it to people so they can go private. such a good way to increase equity. NOT.

Cecil Parkinson??????? Even in his prime you'd need to be washed down with fairy liquid afterwards to get rid of the grease...

And Paolosgirl, I think you'll find that Tone does send his kids to state school.

My answers:

a) Lib Dem
b) Lib Dem (it would have been Labour, for the MP alone, not the party - she was great but unfortnately has had to pull out due to treatment for breast cancer. I agree with the Lib dem's policies)
c) Being truthful about tax!
d) I'm sorry, no...... can't do it. I would rather turn gay. In which case... Anne Widdicombe!

agree with Caligula. would like to see Labour win but on a majority or 20-30. The tories are hypocrites. And they brought in the legislation that led to crap school dinners. Never forget.

ladymuck · 12/04/2005 21:23

Aren't Labour offering something similar though - by 2008 you can choose any health provider (NHS or private) provided the latter is within the same price band. Conservative offers similar but goes further saying that you would be able to put money towards the cost if you chose a priavte supplier which was more expensive. Both policies will be putting money into the private sector, though the Conservatives give a greater degree of choice.

Tone doesn't send his kids to state school does he? Or is it a state miles away?

snafu · 12/04/2005 21:24

And it was their hilarious contracting-out wheeze that made it 'quite hard, actually' to keep a hospital clean, the hypocritical bastards.

london oratory isn't it www?

JanH · 12/04/2005 21:25

muminlondon, I've been blaming them for that too (drop in standards started in 1980?) but according to suedonim on this thread , it was Sunny Jim C who started it and Maggie who got stuck with it (rather like Heseltine, Blair and the Dome...)

If anyone can challenge that information I would be glad to hear about it!

WideWebWitch · 12/04/2005 21:27

sprry, just looked, it is a state but not a local one, I knew there was some controversy about it.

JanH · 12/04/2005 21:27

And it was GM or opted-out or whatever the status was at the time he sent his DS1?

Gobbledigook · 12/04/2005 21:28

Yeah, he didn't want to send his kids to his catchment area school did he?

Eew, he's a right smarmy git with no clue what he's doing. Bring back Maggie

snafu · 12/04/2005 21:31

Sorry, but I just can't let the thread die on that note

Gobbledigook · 12/04/2005 21:32

PMSL!!

Eowyn · 12/04/2005 21:58

So am I the only person ever to fancy Neil Kinnock?

Gobbledigook · 12/04/2005 22:02

[vomit emotion]

JoolsToo · 12/04/2005 22:03

no - Glenys quite liked him

JanH · 12/04/2005 22:03

Well, I suppose Glenys did once.

JanH · 12/04/2005 22:03

Twice, even...

Eowyn · 12/04/2005 22:05

The highlight of my career was reading a claim form he'd completed (v boring insurance stuff).
Nice to get a response anyway. (it's his eyelids that do it by the way). ha ha.

Eeeeew eeewww eeeeww at Kinnock, my god, I think you might be alone in that eowyn!

Eowyn · 12/04/2005 22:08

You like him too then VP?

victoriapeckham · 12/04/2005 22:11

I'd rather do MIchael Howard. At least he must have had something to attract Sandra, who was stunning (and still is beautiful - no surgery either, i ve met her). He seduced her by sending round copy of Tender Is The Night, which is my favourite novel too.

what a creepy old Tory. Isn't he her 4th husband, she prob couldn't be bothered with all the hassle of changing one again..
"something of the night " is the most interesting thing about him.
