However, out of the main three I would vote for Labour. I agree with the OP that they're the lesser of two evils and it'll be interesting to see if Miliband can move them away from being simply the diet-Tories.
"Other"
and
"Would not vote"
Slightly ironic that the Labour bar is blue and the Conservative bar is red
I'm definatly a critic of policies introduced by the tories, but that does not extend to having any confidence in the abilities of the opposition either
Its difficult to explain in words, but something I believe has been overlooked is the impact policy has on the other parties
Think back to the poll tax, and discontent amongst the public, that pretty much set the bar as to what people were willing to tollerate.. so you look at the policies being introduced
In a sense they are basically setting the bar for the other parties, so in a sense.. even if the likes of labour get in, it does not by any means imply things will magically get better
(I'd like to believe some of the "pledges" coming from labour but really, if its not in the manifesto its empty words to me.. and we have seen that promises of change or reform are flavor of the month and little else)
Change starts from the top, maybe its time the government looked at itself and thought about reform at the highest level... especially when we have clear links between private enterprise and politicians/parties (simular to america, where private entities have the real power)
I had forgotten what a nasty little party the Tories are, and this is with their (right) wings clipped by the Lib Dems. I perish the thought of what they would have pushed through without Clegg and co.
I tend to agree.
What's really turned me off the Coalition is the stuff about Miliband's father.
...what have they got to do with this Millibands father stuff? And you've never posted anything positive about the coalition, so claiming this has suddenly changed your mind is, well, rubbish.
You wonder about the logic!
Gove and Hunt have defended the Mail. This paints the Coalition in a very bad light, especially after Pickles' 'medication' comments.
Have they? Where? I've seen quotes from Clegg and Cameron atatcking the mails article, but nothing from either of those two defending it, which would have been brought up by now by someone surely? Someone like the Labour press team?
It's in the Daily Mail today. Have a look at their website.
Were you just as offended when Ed had his arm around a guy with a t-shirt on wishing Margaret Thatcher dead?
