come on, who should I vote for this time?
It really is a depresing situation for me
We have the choice between 2 alternatives who basically aren't that 'alternative'. Tories had a 17 years stint and Labour 13 years, neither made much of a difference.
For me the real issues aren't going to be addressed, the biggest of which is why we live in country where a party that polls 35% of the vote can end up with a majority of 60 seats! One of the reasons so many people are disenfranchised is that their votes simply doesn't matter, it only matters for the few who live in key marginal constituencies, why is there no outcry about this? Where is the real alternative view, why aren't people marching on Westmisnster demanding real democracy?

How do you feel about the destruction of GB and the gift of our country to the coming federation and the consequent loss of our democracy?
Seems like a "No Brainer" to me!

As for them being not worth the 'steam off your ****'...what have you done that's so great that makes you (and your ****) so special? What have you done for the country, society or even your local community?
Despite all the spin, politicians on both sides actually have done quite a lot of good for this country and their local communities. What have you done?

Something Martin has said that I agree with... 
Coming from the Eastern Counties which is primarily Blue in colour - it is a little frustrating that my vote - which I will admit will be Blue, doesn't really matter, as their majority in my constituency is so overwhelming my vote is a bit meaningless and doesn't really add anything to the big "**** OFF LABOUR" banner I'd like to wave

So the justification for your ridiculous statement is that lots of people feel the same way? That's it? No independent thought process of your own?
On your second point I take it you don't do much for the greater good of your community. On the other hand you are prepared to label lots of people who do as not worthy of 'the steam of your ****'
There are bad MPs out there, but plenty of good ones who do plenty of good
which of the parties are looking out for me....
MARRIED,
WHITE,
mid 30's MALE,
homeowner,
been in work since leaving school at 16, gaining TRADE qualifications at FE college, also time served apprentership.
Things that I have questions about that I'd like a political party to answer..are..
The tax I pay to what I get back for it.... (being the person mentioned above)
Boarder controls seem poor, why are we not eye scanning/finger printing everyone entering the country and counting visitors IN/OUT... like in the USA
Can we move away from the title TREASURE ISLAND BRITAIN.
Political correctness and data protection loop holes that have gone OTT
What can be done about the unemployed and more important the unemployable!
also all those on long term sick that don't get added to the above unemployed figures.
there a a few more things but I'll start with these, so who can answer the above to make me vote for them?

as I see it a lot on hereI work 'in the job' and you truly cannot appreciate the political red tape/rules/regulations that prevents us from making informed and educated decisions. It is not 'Immigration Officers' that are letting in these 'undesirables' but rather governmental policy.
In its most simplified form, if a person meets a set criteria, answers his questions correctly and is a national of the 'right' country we are bound by law to allow passage. Its the government that is responsible for Immigration Law not civil servants!!
And to 'scan/fingerprint' everyone coming into the country is a physical impossibilty. Millions and millions of people enter (and leave) this country every year and I personally work in a location that is severely understaffed. Speak to your MP's and stop having a pop at us!!
Until the government changes some of its Immigration policies and stops making it so 'lucrative' for asylum seekers to come here, this 'plight' will only continue........
Thankyou and goodnight.

Rant over.

Just make sure you ask all the awkward questions and also that he is forced to answer them.
He will disappear down your front path at a trot!

I have to take offence at the border control comments

you've just told us what we all know goes off. Enter the UK, get the visa stamp.. then disappear not to be found!!!!
he finger print/eye scan, well it works when you enter the USA at the airports, why can't we do it here... big deal it adds another hour at passport control!
For me and the wife it's a straight forward Labour vote. As will be the case with all our other family members. Why? Well we are in a very very strong Labour area and quite frankly they have done a bloody good job here. All the things that are important to our every day lives have improved, in the last 10 years in perticular. I know many will read that and think it's a wind up, but we can only vote for what we see as being best for us, that being another term under Labour.
Do you think it would be a good thing for our country to keep it independent so that we can run it for ourselves?

Much better that then the sheep who go around bleating that they are all the same and that they can't be bothered to put a X on a piece of paper.
