It's got to be:

  1. Labour
  2. Labour


I dread to think what the Tories are going to do to Sure Start...

    Although it goes against my natural grain.

    Have always previously voted Labour but am disappointed at quite a lot of things going on at the moment.

  1. a socialist party if one was available

  2. Labour - a may not be 100% happy with the labour government up to now but I would rather Labour won than the Tories. I dread waking up on May 7th to a Tory government.

I haven't decided

am waiting to hear what the budget says and a few more statements of intent from the party leaders. In fact, I'm most interested in what they plan to do (economically).

I really don't want to live in a world that's got Dave's agenda driving it. I don't think he's remotely in touch with what Britain needs, and I reckon the Tories are using him as a thinly veiled attempt to disguise their true intentions. Beware the smiling assassin.

We've been warned that cuts in public spending are going to be 'worse' than under Thatcher already, and I just dread to think where the 'little' money that will be available will be spent under Conservatives. Certainly not on basic education & healthcare for the masses, I fear.

All this stuff about 'broken Britain' - what a joke. We have it better than we realise. I know unemployment has rocketed during the recession, but no-one's starving (unlike the 80's - remember Wigan? Starved back to work across the picket lines...) and many of the unemployed people I interview for jobs at my work may be struggling, but are 100% not desperate!

AND don't forget what caused the recession in the first place... deregulating the banking industry, oh I wonder who could have done that...?!

Sorry about the diatribe, I'm just nervous about what's going to happen when my wee one comes in to this world. I wish I could guarantee my unborn child a benevolent future, conducive to putting in a bit of graft with a bit of success afterwards, not too much surely?

I have young children and I don't want them to be paying off the debts left by Gordon Brown when they start work in 15 - 20 years time.

Wilf, that's what they'll be doing if we hand the economy to George Osborne. And DC doesn't believe in the welfare state, not really - that's why he keeps banging on about volunteering and charities.

So, I suppose if secretly you think the poor should really be shunted off to workhouses rather than leeching off the rest of us then go ahead and vote Conservative. Personally, I am grateful that I am in a position to thrive in our society having been given the tools to do so with a relatively privileged upbringing. I feel it is my duty to give those who can't cope so well with our hard-nosed Capitalism a helping hand.

Really it always baffles me that so many Conservatives claim to be Christians.

It's also a common mistake to say that GB was responsible for our collapsed pensions - that was the Tories when they introduced a tax on surpluses in workplace pensions. Axing the dividend tax credit was natural follow on from that move (thanks again Maggie).

Plus, in case you haven't noticed, it's a GLOBAL recession that's been going on out there.

Lib Dem all the way for me. They are the true socialists

  1. Conservative
  2. Lib Dem - we have a good Lib Dem MP and her only real opposition is the Labour candidate, so I very much hope our Lib Dem MP is reelected.
