And bollocks again. Went to the polling station today to discover that my former Lady made a cockup on the registration form for our house and so therefore no-one who lives here is registered to vote. So therefore I can't express my opinion on this government. I live in a marginal seat too, which the Tories could have won.
It's depressing as hell; IMHO everythign the Tories promised could be really good for this country and I think that a lot of people would agree in general with their policies. Unfortunately, they don't stand an earthly because Michael Howard has 'something of the night about him' and he'll obviously bring Britain back to how it was under Thatcher.
Every man and his wife hates Blair; 67% of people polled say that they won't trust anything he has to say. But he's still going to walk this election because people just won't vote Conservative because they hold a grudge against Thatcher. Fuck the policies, let's make our votes based upon how the political parties were arranged 10 years ago, obviously nothing could have changed between now and then.
And to add insult to injury, you get these moronic people who support Labour because the Sun does and because they think voting Tory is goign to result in an invasion of the Falkland Islands. And they're talking about how terrible it would be if the Conservatives get in by using the brilliant 'facts'. £35billion in cuts, economic black hole, stripping public services. Never mind that there are no cuts in the Conservative manifesto, or that their economic plans have been verified by the independent IMF as kosher or that their plans involve putting more people into public services by cutting back on bureaucracy. Labour have repeated these things so many times that they've now become 'facts' in the minds of these facile idiots.
So basically, we're going to be stuck with a liar who has the moral depth of a hyena, a government which is determined to rule, rather than to serve, an economy which will be thoroughly shafted by increased integration with Europe, a 'Big Government' obssessed with making petty little laws and I didn't even get a chance to vote against it.
