I'm not argueing politics Steph, as with religion, its the surest way of loosing friends. As I said in a recent post, people will always vote for the party they have always voted for (in public anyway) but its the 'floating voter' that would decide the outcome (as these people only vote for matters that are going to affect them). We all know that Politicions of all parties promise one thing and do another, its the nature of their job but its no different than other members of society, go to see two doctors for instance and you'll probly get two different opinions.
What I was saying at the start of this thread is that most probly the next election will be a three horse race with the 'floating voters' (not wanting cuts), swinging to the lib Dems or Labour. its OK for DC to pretend to be 'honest' but put it this way, if you were walking home on a dark night and at risk of being 'mugged' then you had to go down one of two dark alleyways, you wouldnt choose the one with a couple of 'hoodies' lurking about, would you? you'd take your chance on the one that you dont know whats there. its common sense.
