Well until i reregister as i'm officially back in the country i don't have a vote; but that said i also don't have to pay my local £800ish Council Tax... which i'm waiting for to pass before i register so i can have 2years of not paying (honestly who's more likely to spend my tax money better; me or the council?)
i think this postal system is a stupid idea though; especially as i've been hearing from the news and stuff minority families are being 'swaded' to hand over votes. Which pisses me off cause that just means that a) the votes are invalid, b) it wastes valuable police time which could be used to catch REAL criminals, c) you know if Labour or Conservative don't benifit from it they'll both cry foul.
the only 2 votes i care about is my local constituency and the general election; my local tends to always side with Lib Dem which in my area since changing from Labour have seemingly improved some things ... but then i've not been around much.
general i tend to side with them again, but i think it's more a case of lesser of 3 main evils;
i am starting to see no point in it, and i would wish that british national parties would actually get voted in more places; perhaps if there are more of them on the benches, it might shock those in charge into actually doing thier jobs ... but more over if they were voted in you know, they'd ACTUALLY do something which the members of the country care about.
look at what Labour has done over the past 4years; Sided with America on a campaign no-one cept the government wanted, and given away valuable work contracts for the military to foreign countries whilst raising tax very steply on everything which doesn't seem to have helped bring spending into something more manageable, perhaps because people are paying out ALOT more on things and so having to borrow even more to afford to; what they're doing is causeing the problem with the Bank of England is trying desperately to fixx but can't ... guess we'll find out later today if they'll try to solve this by setting interest rates up by that .5% that alot of people reckon they will.
We really need a government in which will sort this country out rather than trying to play the system so they get rich.
Anyone ever watch the parliment channel? watch the debates that go one. if you ask me that is what is wrong with this country, they all sit down talk about everything but really it's not a discussion on the topics at hand ... it's nothing more than a pure Flamewar.
Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative just quite frankly don't know how to lead the country; just like the London Underground don't know how to run a train system.
All these people know how to do is spin facts, make excuses and apologise. We dont' need bloody high-schoolers running the country, we need people who will take responsibility for action and actually put into practise what they set out to do.
i mean i wanna know how unemployment is the 'lowest for 20 years', but i keep hearing that since the euro was introduced the pound strength on the market has been taking it's toll on business meaning record numbers of layoffs and companies going under...
Both CANNOT be right... the only way i can figure that the unemployment figures have dropped so much that they look better than 20years ago is because one thing has changed in the last 12months, we have only 10% of the immigrants comming in.
oki well that's my rant over with hehee
honestly don't see a single group worth voting for right now
but gonna vote cause else i won't have an excuse to bitch
