Is the Tory campaign of 'Tony Blair is a liar' likely to change your vote, and how?

[tortoiseshell]

Just interested - I think it makes me hate the Tories even more, not because I'm sticking up for TB but because I find the whole Tory campaign despicable.

So, the question is - does the Tory campaign change your vote, and if so, from what to what?

anyone want one of these from ebay? (not a link to the Tory party website this time marina

this really is scary!

Absolutely not changed my mind-detest Michael Howard more each time I see or hear him!

Hahahahahahahha
me vote tory
now that would be worth billboarding
my vote this time is likely to be yellow although I did appreciate Jack Straws in depth description of the lead up to the Iraq war last pm on newsnight (post att Gen legal advice being leaked), WHY WHY could this not have been publicised sooner. I appreciate many of Labours policies, but this as one bridge too far for my vote...
the less said about MH the better really, there are better things to waste precious dial up minutes on...

No. Think most people would have already made their mind up by now about TB and Iraq. There can hardly be anyone for whom this is a new issue surely?

Has however, convinced me even more of the vileness of teh Tories. Worrying article yesterday though about their campaign manager who is the Australian guy who engineered the shock election defeat in Australia on teh "Well, we've lost anyway, let's just attack teh pesonalities here". Worked becuase voters for (think it was Keating's govt) became complacent and didn't vote.

No. I think the whole concept of negative campaigning is wrong. Why can't each party focus on their own policies rather than pointing out inadaquacies in other parties. It just makes me more convinced that the Tories have nothing whatsoever to offer.

They're all liars aren't they?

I predict that loads of people who would normally vote labour are going to vote lib dem in protest, but I think that is just giving no10 to MH which really scares me.

nope, wont change my vote. It only goes to prove just how slimy and ruthless the tories are.
Tony Blair may very well be a liar, but what polititian isnt, does MH think that we all have long-term memory loss and have forgotten just how sleazy and full of crap the tories were, particulary around the time of John Majors "reign"?.

I think its a bit rich of MH to call ANYBODY ANYTHING, this country was far worse under the tories, the problems with the NHS today etc are ripple effects caused by the conservative govt.

Gordon Brown for Prime Minister i say- which is exactly why i will voting labour this time around.

Lib Dem can't get a majority in Parliament no matter how many people vote for them because they don't have enough candidates standing.
They would need the system to change to proportional representation to have a chance to get into power.
I haven't forgotten Thatcher's government but I eaqually haven't forgotten the previous Labour government which took the country into the devastating debt inherited by Thatcher.

only makes me even less likely to vot conservative.
regarding the iraq issue. i think this country would have been dragged into the war by america, regardless of which party was in power.
also, in this country we do not vote for a person, but a party, and whoever is chosen by the party becomes prime minister. why has the conservative pr machine forgotten that?

No - I do not need the Conservative party to tell me whether or not Tony Blair is a liar. I can make my own mind up from the media and general evidence. Doubt there are many totally honest politicians and also doubt that MH is one of them. Personally think that TB gets a bad press, but think thats partly because he's been in the position for so long. Bit of the old British "build em up, then knock em down" attitude going on.

Also absolutely detest the "are you thinking what we're thinking". The first time DH and I saw that on a billboard we both spontaneously said "I bloody hope not". Its patronising and irrelevent. "how hard is it to keep a hospital clean?" Well obviously the Tories didn't think it was very hard because thats why they tendered it out to the cheapest possible bidder.
