Who will I vote for next time? - That's a tough one.
At the moment I'm toying with the idea of getting together a campaign to get people to deface their ballot papers - with the hope being that if we get enough people to do it, then maybe it would show the general unhappiness with all the options on offer - It's idealistic and would probably have no effect, but I can dream....
These days, it's hard to tell the difference between Lab and Con, since Lab has gone to the right, Con has gone to the left, and they've met in the middle. Policies between the 2 these days seem to consist of one party saying "we're going to do X" and the other party saying "Oh yes, we were going to do that", or "That's what we thought too". - Look at this budget just gone by - The amount being saved in public spending by reducing the civil service jobs, is exactly the same amount that the conservatives were planning on cutting it by.
The Lib Dems, to me, are still an nothing party - perhaps if one day they get a leader who has something going for him, rather than just a large backside, which is needed so that he can sit on all those fences - maybe I'll think that voting for them won't be a waste of a vote - at the end of the day, I don't see how you can vote for a party that won't actually decide what it is they stand for, other than the usual nah-saying of whatever the government does. I lost track of the number of things that Charles Kennedy refused to give an opinion on. How can you have any political respect for a party that basically says 'we have some opinions, but we're not going to tell you what they are'.
The rest of the parties are all seat fillers, that have zero chance of ever getting elected.
So basically the answer is, I don't know....
Maybe I'll stand, and try and make Waddon a Repulic.
