Run up to No 10

[Patti]

Never been interested in politics, but this time I have been watching the odd debate on television and I've been more interested than I have been before.

My family have always been labour supporters, so I have always followed suit apart from the one time I voted for Margaret Thatcher.

Labours Manifesto is to balance the books....

I like Natalie Bennett Nugs I also like Nicola Sturgeon.

I'm not sure who I am voting for yet.
Millaband has got the edge for me, thus being the abolishing of the cruel and unjust bedroom tax.  It does not effect me, but it effects the poorest in our Country, so based on that alone I might vote for Ed.

Cameron is not giving us much...I don't like the idea of our doctors working 7 days a week. 

[nugnug]

it think sturegeons a big improvement on alex salmond.

and i think milbands a very big improvement on gordon brown.

[Patti]

it think sturegeons a big improvement on alex salmond.

She's great its a shame Ed wont party with her.

There are a few things I disagree with scraping the human rights act is one of them and 7 day a week access to our doctors. Our doctors are stretched as it and to abolish the HRA is a statement that they are no longer wanting the powers of a ECHR to decide whether the UK has ignored section 7 or what ever...lol

Don't know what I am talking about, but I know what I mean...lol

I don't bother reading the manifesto's as no party can stick to their promises .

David Cameron and George Osborne are the most competent with the economy and in general

Nicola Sturgeon is a career politician she went straight from uni into the SNP she has never actually experienced the real world. Same goes for Ed Milliband most left wing politicians have never actually worked in an Industry or Business.

I wont be too fussed if Milliband wins because the Labour Party is just the Tory Party under a façade of socialism, Then Boris Johnston will most probably be opposition leader

[nugnug]

i think that goes camron and Osbourne as well neather of them of ever had a real job.

That is the problem with many politicians, they have no idea what real life is about, they just live in their protected bubble-life of privilege they give themselves.

An example from Denmark: The age to become a pensioner has been hightened and will be hightened further to close to 70 years old. At the same time, POLITICIANS can retire when they are 60, they don´t want to change that!!

At least Ed Milliband went to a London Comprehensive school unlike the other ones you mention ......... all Eton boys.  The nightmare of Boris Johnson as leader of any party fills me with horror.

Hahaha Maggie think Boris is a hoot I quite like Nigel

[lookout]

I had a woman from the Labour party knock the other day,and she was busy telling me all that they planned to do and rattled off a " shopping list "of what they were going to do,so I asked her why these things have to wait for an election before they're implemented. Off she scuttled,ignorant pig.
Then it was time,the other day,for a Conservative candidate ( good job it wasn't Esther McVey as I can't stand her ) so I asked him the same question,why wait for a general election before you wake up to see what's happening to the country,etc etc. Hadn't got time to explain,so off he went.
These guys don't like confrontation.Then I insulted him and said I wasn't going to vote for a bunch of overgrown public school boys,not even UKIP because he was a banker ( at least I think I've got that right ) So---------------there's nobody else left since the Raving Loony Party got disbanded.
