I'm unlikely ever to vote Tory due to my 'deprived' background. I'm also unlikely to vote Labour because I believe they've let the 'workers' down - many of them have the same backgrounds as Tories - fancy schools (Tony effing Blair who went to fancy Fettes), loadsamoney etc. - either that or they're morons who're after a gravy train they'd never have got near if they hadn't joined the party.
At the risk of Aaron issuing a fatwah on me, can I mention the Scottish Parliament example? There's never been a party with an overall majority. We had the Libdems joining with Labour for all the wrong reasons, in my opinion (i.e. desperate for power at any cost). So Labour were able to push through whatever legislation they wanted. The present situation is that the Nationalists are in the minority and NOBODY has formed a coalition, so they can't ride roughshod and force what they want on us. They have to co-operate with the other parties and that's not a bad thing. The Scottish Conservatives took the stance that they'd only vote issue by issue, and they gained my respect for that. If Libdems have any integrity, that's what they'd do too instead of forming a colation just for the sake of power.
As an aside to this, it's time you English fought for an English parliament instead of allowing B****** Brown from Fife to dictate to you.
