All politicians are greedy self serving pigs at the trough. Get used to it and realise nothing will change when Cameron gets in. Same ****, different party.

What? Keeping their heads down for eleven years? Well what can they possibly do now as this government is coming to the end of its tenure?

Really I don't think any old died in the wool socialists are anything more to worry about than the possibility of any hard line right wingers that may be lurrking in the Tory party.

The days of extreme politics are over, it's all fought over the centre ground now like America.

Yeah like persecuting a whole industry and killing off whole communities because of a grievance with one man or how about coming up with the briliiant idea of the poll tax (and it was a brilliant idea), but then excuting that idea in a way so stupid that it lost even the support of the people and bodies it was set to benefit. Yeah they were great days

They are all the same!! I feel let down by both main parties over the last 30 years and if I vote I shall be taling a long hard look at the UKIP and other such fringe parties as there is no way I can vote Tory or Labour ever again. Not that I have ever voted Tory mind LOL!

Tories tend to be the 'educated unthinking' types in my experience. (Although their ranks are swelled by thicko's too).
Leftist voters, on the whole, tend to be practical (educated) thinkers and doers.(With a few thicko's tagging along). Note..The majority of thicko's 'have no idea', so don't count for much.
Practical/educated wins out almost always.

Just because you arent soft, dont assume that everyone of your political persuasion is the same. Most socialists, in my experience, are not part of the inteligencia!

Noted, but I did say 'on the whole', not everyone.
It is noteworthy that in these hard times socialist doctrines, such as public ownership, are being adopted by the most ardent capitalists. SSA (Socialist States of America) anyone
