General Election 2010

i'll be voting labour without a shadow of a doubt. i live in a marginal lab/lib constituency and have been volunteering for my local labour party this time round. probably a lost cause now but hey, despite all the terrible things that have been done under the current administration (and there have been a lot, many of which i protested loudly about) i just cannot abide the thought of a tory government and i just have no faith that the lib dems have a frikken clue what they're on about. have you heard their tax policies? they're actually insane.

i can't believe (actually i can believe) how easily swayed the opinion polls were by clegg's hollow blair-ish, "hey guys" performance.

minor rant now. sorry in advance: god almighty, i was in a black cab last night and driver had some awfull "speak yr branes" talk radio show on. the topic was "are you going to vote and if so have you changed your mind as to how?" the first guy who rang in basically called yp to say "i'm not going to vote because i don't know what they're on about most of the time and nothing they say ever seems to affect me... i mean you never hear anyone say "i'm going to cut taxes 20% or cut the price of petrol by half or double the police by 50%". And it went on from there the entire cab ride. four or five callers with the same basic, confused, narrow minded, selfish apathy... really quite depressing. Can't be arsed to pay even the scantest bit of attention to the running of the country you live in to the extent that you don't even bother to register or even learn the name of the leaders of the three main parties... and yet you CAN be arsed to ring up talk radio and dribble on for 15 minutes about how you can't be arsed? wtf? Thoroughly depressing.

+1

I'm always going to vote labour. Fucked of with the in-laws family at the mo talking about lib dems or ukip. My god.
