Default Three strikes and you're out

If I understand correctly, a Conservative proposal is that if you have three convictions for benefit fraud you could lose your benefits for three years.

How about one conviction for benefit fraud and you never get benefits again?

Conservatives, the saviours of the UK.

I keep telling you people, it doesn't matter who is elected, THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.

I understand that no one has ever been done for fraud 3 times and only 69 people have been done for doing system twice. dl

I don't believe a word any of the partys say, all I know is that the country needs a change.

I don't think you'll find a post from me anywhere saying I'm not going to vote, or telling other people not too.

I will vote, and that gives me the democratic right to criticise the next Govt, whoever they are. Anyone that doesn't vote abdicates that right IMHO.

So you'll be voting labour then?

I'll wait for the manifestos to come out, have a look at which party is closest to my own political beliefs, try and work out how much of what they say they'd do they actually will do, and make my decision.

At the moment no-one has my support.

But you said they're all the same?
So, you might as well just draw a party out of a hat and vote for that.
