Well there was i thinking at last i have a chance to vote and change the way this country is going

So put me finest grey and brown Tank top on , slip the bird pulling green cords on and slip them comfy sandals on .. and off i trek looking pretty damn cool

Get down to the village hall and waltz in ready to vote for the BNP and shock horror !!!
They give me a slip of paper which shows 4 names 2 Liberal !! and 2 names both Conservative !! ?
I say to the old woman " Where is the 2nd page ?" She says "What do you mean ?" I say "What i mean my little polling lady ,is wheres all the rest of the options ? " She says "Thats it " !!!

Now i have made the effort had a shave dressed up special for what ? to choose the Conservatives who are already in our constituency anyways !! or Liberal ? What a choice !!

Now is this some kind of political scam ? What kind of choice is that ??
Liberals who are a sort of nothing God knows why they dont just call it a day right ?
Or Just revote the same guy who is already in anyways !!

So wont it be such a suprise that Labour will remain in to further trash the UK when indeed you cant do anything about it if you wanted !!

yes as you can imagine i was not and still am not to impressed !!

Now is this just a conspiracy here or anyone else had the same thing ??

Found it very amusing hearing Cameron slagging off Labour for the problems with the health Service, quoting targets, Trusts, Supertrusts etc. and WHO brough in the Trusts, ermmmm.. I seem to think it was the CONservatives, and they did more to underline the NHS during their time than Labour has during its. I dont agree with the trust or competitive tendering, but I felt my job was far more secure when Labour came to power than it had been at any time under Maggie et al. Still think there is far too much beaurocracy in the NHS though.

I don't actually know where politics in Britain is going any more .... in fact I'm not sure if I've known for a while.

If I had to vote tomorrow I just wouldn't really know what to do!

I know how I voted, and to be honest, had Labour not completely trashed the countryside since it arrived 9 years ago I would have voted very different.

I guess we vote with what is important to us.
