Yes my parents live in Gosport and for the last 35 years they have always voted in a Conservative so you can't be that far from there Maggy.

I don't understand why anyone would always vote for the same party no matter what. :confused:

Ignorance or stupidity. Take your choice.

Just re-inforces my view that you should have to qualify to be able vote. i.e. Understand what you're voting for.

Well obviously there are some in this country who are lifelong Conservative or Labour supporters and will vote for them no matter what.

l was talking to my Dad the other week and he sees his vote as a wasted vote as they are always going to vote the same party in no matter what in his constituency.

I did look at Labour but the following put me off them.

Do i want to see the benefits of those who have never worked and have no intention of working increase NO

Do i want said lazy gits getting everything for nothing NO

As a tax payer do i want my tax going up to keep said lazy gits in beer and fags NO

Is Milliband Prime minister material NO

So it had to be conservative :)

Yep. Amazing isn't it?
It's like they were a bunch of kids playing at being adults and hoping nobody would call them on it :D

Like Axelrod said: "Vote Labour and get a toaster" :rofl:

If they are the sort who have never worked and have no intention of working then YES.
