Re: Who Gets Your Vote
nobody gets my vote because they won't accept a postal vote that arrives AFTER the date of the election, even if proof that it was posted before is given, and they only send out postal votes a week before the election. assuming 4 working days to get to oz, and 3 working days to get back it would never arrive in time.

Somedays though I feel that it's no longer relevant to me and that I should focus on Howard et al. Other days I see reports showing those vaguely sinister, "are you thinking what we're thinking" ads and I feel like standing up and being counted.

Re: Who Gets Your Vote
Is there a General Election soon in the UK?
Hasn't been a cheep about it on TV, or in the press here!
When is it?

Vote for yourself
Or a bunch of hippy lunatics anyway. Belfast for the 2016 Olympics!!!
Imagining the beginning of a dreamy rainbow will be seen to be taking place in Belfast on election day.

Seeing the UK election campaign on Sky News UK on Foxtel makes me so glad I don't live there anymore.

Re: Who Gets Your Vote
Definitely Labour. That has nothing to do with agreeing with their policies or not I just think maintaining the status quo is the best thing for maintaining share prices (I have 2 endowments to cash in) and maintaining confidence in the housing market.
But if any party promised to raise the point at which stamp duty rises to 3% from £250,000 they would instantly get my vote to help me sell my house at market value.
