and don't put an X by Labour in those boxes
Bah if it wasn't for labour being in control all these years we would be in a much worse mess. What do the other parties have to offer? Nah the real brains are still in the labour party. Who the hell cares if they cream a little off the top as they have been doing. Hell all these councilors and wotnot have been doing so forever. Just a perk of the job. Such a load of ballocks shouldn't cause anyone not to vote for Labour. Labour FTW!
Glad you like living in a Police State.
Would rather live with more police and control by authorities than have all the lunatics run the place. Police state? Hell it is hard work to find one where I live!
I don't get how it works, tbh - I looked up our area's candidates and there are hundreds - how many do we get to vote for, just one?
Edit: On a plus note, I did find the address of some local BNP person I can firebomb
BBC News said:How will the elections be decided?
Council seats will be decided by the traditional first past the post system used at general elections where people get to choose between individual candidates. In the European elections, seats will be awarded to the parties in relation to the proportion of the vote they received in each region. So the party that wins the most votes will get the most MEPs, starting with the name at the top of its candidate list and working down.
The Authorities and the police are the lunatics! ID Cards, 42 day detention, abuse of anti-terrorism powers for non-terrorist policing on an almost daily basis, the highest level of surveillance in the world (and demands for more from the police), the ridiculous Interception Modernisation Programme ("let's log the whole internet" ), policeman confiscating cameras, the list goes on; coupled with utter incompetence which means they don't even "protect us" (or our data) properly. Where the fuck have you been for the last decade? Narnia?
23 now, never voted and never will.... all just about as corrupt as each other.

One way or another we need to be controlled.
Speak for yourself.
Not that I've any faith that any of the others can do any better or would of done much different if they were in power/majority, if you do then you might as well enjoy Narnia too
Well yes I suppose I do. I definitely need a heavy hand now and then or I do become too excitable but so do a lot of others. An argument is a form of this. Standing upto someone who rams some point or other down your throat (which I tend to do) makes that person rethink or consider something else. There is a great deal wrong with our society and in my mind the other way to counteract this is to have more responsible people in control. More or less boils down to more responsible policing in one form or another.
So my freedoms are restricted because you can't control yourself? And you don't see a problem with that?
The reason I will not be voting today is there is no-one representing my views.
Nope. Depends on what freedoms we are talking about. I am talking about my forum activities and being policed by mods. TDC has done a stirling job of curtailing my 'over the top' posts. YOUR freedoms haven't been affected in the least by any of my activities now have they yet I have been policed and you haven't - exactly my point.
I'll do as I always do and that will be voting labour. In fairness I have little faith in them but I have even less in any of the other parties. I would sooner run for election myself than give Cameron a chance of dragging us down further.
Non of the other parties are worth shit.
