Never voted for the bunch of goons nor will I ever. But you know what, I have a feeling that by some sort of sick twisted fate this party of loosers will narrowly just scrape through and get another term in office, to provide us with more misery and grief.
If they did win the next election It wouldn't surprise me in their mission to spoil people enjoying themselves and spending money on leisure, next term they probably would cook up a marina tax (like the current airport duty) for every port a leisure boat visited in the UK!

NB is only really required where the header is ambigous, you can surely work out for yourself the subject matter of this thread without NB in it?

I've only ever voted once...some 30 odd years ago...haven't bothered since, being unable to find a credible politician worth walking down to the polling station for. They all change the parameters soon after being elected. Therefore I support NO political party....but.....on the basic theme of this thread....and RED DIESEL and normal tax raising issues apart...have you forgotten the Gulf War? Was that one ok then? Have you forgotten the wholesale devastation of the British Manufacturing base industries, the devastation of the NHS and almost forced introduction (after Maggy having had her tongue in a dark crevice for a couple of years) of private health care? Poll Tax? Privatisation of practically every other industry, service and utility left in the country?

Almost certainly not! My grey cells are now consisting of motor neurons only, and allow the consumption of food, alcohol and mindless tat on computer screens. The logic circuits failed in 1978 after a 21st party fuelled by leisure pharmaceuticals and Special Brew.

Yes I have a feeling that they will scrape through too, mainly due to the fact that alot of postal and internet voting is being inroduced and alot of constituency boundaries have been mysteriously mooved in the last couple of years. Obviously Zimbabwe and Ukraine have election fraud whereas we modernise the voting system and find new methods to engage disenfranchised sections of the community. hehe
Anyhoo whoever gets in next year will do so with a small or no majority which means the sort of outrageous legislation which has been forced through in the last few years will not be possible - from either side.

Small majority?
Hmm.
According to a piece in the paper a couple of days ago, polling carried out for the Tories indicates Labour will be returned with a reduced majority, but still in the region of 80. I don't think that will dampen their legislative ardour much.
Frankly, if the alternative is the collection of lightweights, far right loonies and has-beens on the Tory benches, I'd rather stick with what we have.

Re: Small majority?
Well I for one would rather have "a collection of lightweights, Far right loonies and has-beens" who are going to try and stop the incredible haemorrhage of money that is the public services, rather than the current "collection of lightweights, Far right loonies and has-beens" who will need to raise taxation by another eyewatering amount just to support their current plans. Besides if this lot win the next election, Brown will probably force a leadership contest and then we will really know what high tax means.

Re: Small majority?
We're all entitled to our opinions, however daft. I suppose that has to apply to the far-right loonies too - unfortunately. Or am I being a bit TOO democratic? Must be Christmas making me go soft ...

Were the anarcho-syndicalists right all along?
The anarcho-syndicalists in the bar at University used to say "Don't vote, it only encourages them".
The more cynical anarcho-syndicalists reckoned "whatever you vote, the Government always wins"
I used to urge involvement, committment, get stuck in and change ther world from the ground up.
30 years on I am beginning to think the anarcho-syndicalists had a point.

Re: Were the anarcho-syndicalists right all along?
Oh, then I'd have to decide between the Sailing Party, and the Monster Raving Loonies <sigh> I did like the guy who got voted in based on his election promise of putting buttons on pedestrian crossings low enough for hedgehogs to press.
Then there was the student union election when I was quite a bit younger. The student union president election had the bar juke box voted in as president. So they invalidated the election, rewrote the constitution such that inanimate objects could not stand, so a local pooch was voted in. So they invalidated that election too, and rewrote the constitution such that only humans could stand for election. They should have stuck with the juke box! <g>

I think my vote would go to someone who was brave enough to re-instate the poll tax! And to once again hear the household that houses three families bleating once more! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Oh great! Billions squandered on a tax that was highly inefficient to collect.
