Labour will win especially as Rupert Murdoch is backing them again. I've always voted for Labour, and will do again. I trust them on the economy if nothing else. I dont think this country could withstand another decade of conservatism..I mean real conservatism, Howard style. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I think it's fairly obvious with Labours huge majority they will get in for a third term (is it really only three....?); however, I do think their majority will be significantly reduced, if only down to voter apathy (a little prediction here - I believe this will be a new low in voter turnout). This may, in turn, make Labour have to really work to get the vote next time round - but who will be the leader by then? Personally, given the chance, I would vote for the Green Party - not that I agree with all their policies you understand, but I agree with more of theirs than I do any of the main parties... -------------

I think you're right about voter turnout. It was very low at the last election, I think we can expect worse this time. Thats the trend. As all parties become more - apparently - divorced from the societies they govern or wish to govern, we have to expect the electorate to respond with apathy. For me I find it hard to vote for Labour after the Iraq war, and all the events surrounding the Hutton and Butler enquiries, but I would never vote Conservative, and I dont feel Lib Dem have the balls or the experience to run this country. They sit in third place saying we will abolish tuition fees, we'll scrap the council tax, we wont pander to big business and the press but the reality of being in power is different to being in oppostion. Once in power, if you dont 'pander to big business' or cuddle up with the likes of Murdoch, you'll find yourself back in oppostion PDQ. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
