I'm registered as an Overseas Elector and will vote.
Labour lied about Iraq, or as close to an intentional lie as makes no difference. They have doubled spending on health and it will still be two years until the UK hits average heallth spending for the EU, which will give you an idea of why the heath service was so bad to start off with (17 years of COnservative government). I'm unsure about their educational policy but there are generally improvements.
The Conservatives could not be more pathetic and funny if they actually tried. Isolationist ostrich politics for people who froze their opinions twenty years ago and are too bloody complacent to change them.
UKIP voters are those too dull-witted to realise they are voting for a party analogous to List Pim Fortyn (sp? of surmane), the Ducth politician. The people standing as UKIP candidates are on average, no more capable than the people standing for List Pim Fortyn in the election-before-last here in Holland. A bunch of losers, by and large, with no capacity for government or abilty to work with others who do not share the blinkered world-view that bought them into politics. The performance of UKIP MEP's proves this; they transcend patheticness. A couple of clicks further to the right and they will be overtly racist and nationalistic; any party that steals votes from a 'former' white-power party (the BNP) needs to sort their act out.
The Greens have no chance of making change with the current voting system so are irrelevent.
Lib Dems, yeah, well I'm generally in favour of their policies, so I will probably vote for them as I favour change.
I did the website thing and came out as;
- Labour +9
- Conservative -65
- UKIP - 16
- Green +19
- Lib Dem +78
Most important thing is not on the election agenda, and that's voting reform and moving to proportional respresentation. Without it we are stuck in the unfunny political joke that is a two-party state.
