Unhappy Re: Overseas Voting

I registered as an overseas voter and got my sister to make a proxy vote for me in the last two General Elections.

Back in 1997 it seemed that the future would be brighter with the Labour Party and I voted for them (I can't remember if the govt. was still lead at that time by John Major or William Hague?) and voted for them again in the following GE.

I'm now disillusioned by Tony B liar (and feel bad for Gordon Brown as Tony was supposedly only going to run for two terms and step down in favour of Brown).

The problem is - the opposition isn't that great is it?

I honestly haven't been convinced on which party should deserve to get my vote...

That's true....but on balance...labour have had two terms to try and fix things, as far as I can tell, things are only worse, so they had there chance...

How's that? Unemployment down, interest rates down, home ownership up. Sounds good to me.

Are you old enough to remember what it was like with Thatcher and Major? It's a thousand times better than it was.
