unemployment figures have been climbing steadily for months now and it'll get worse or has no-one noticed

good points charles lanc..i know all about manipulation of figures and statistics - it was done in other european countries prior to important elections to get as many off the unemployment register as possible..forcing them into courses that were meaningless, unsuitable, jobs they had no experience or interest in whatsoever, the farmers were raging at local govts for forcing them to take completely useless workers etc etc (they could keep benefits if they fulfilled x hours at the farm, etc), it doesnt go on here? U bet is does!

philosophica I agree, a new party, because the three main ones today are pretty much the same, only I dont think I could bear another blairite and cameron is definitely another blair, no substance, all spin.

My family have always been anti-Tory, always voted Labour. but quite frankly I am sick to death with Labour the crap they are pulling right now. they really don't give a toss about the ordinary man in the street, they are too busy trying to win votes by buttering up immigrants, asylum seekers, criminals and the rich.
Do you really think Mr Two-Jags knows or cares anything for the plight of a decent working family fallen on hard times though illness or unemployment and facing repossession, homelessness and poverty? I don't.
The days of "Proper" Labour and Nye Bevan are long gone sadly. And I think people have to realise this.
As for Cameron, I don't see he will be any better than Blair, but right now I don't really care who gets in as long as Blair gets out!!! We need a change.
Dave - **I** lived through the 80s and early 90s and sorry to burst your bubble but do you REALLy think we are better off now? Are we hell! Labour has done nothing for this country and its high time they packed their bags (and their jags) and got lost. If the Tories take form the poor and give to the rich (as they did back then I agree) then what the hell are Labour doing? The exact same thing!!! People need to open their eyes about this government and see that they are not true "Labour" at all but watered down Tory with big £ signs in their eyes all the time.

Sadly no. Like many I was hoping they would have brought William back. So a dilemma. New Labour is the most corrupt and sleazy party ever. Blair is a prat. Dave "the hood" Cameron is in a world of his own. A pompous nobody. Gets hard. Liberal no chance. BNP not right wing enough. Green the meeting I went to they arrived in cars one in each. UKIP maybe to get out of the mess Blair has got us in in Europe ( the snivelling creep) So at the end of the day they all voted a massive pay rise and mega pensions for themselves. They are all in it for number one power corrupts and Blair has proved it. Bring back The Loony Party please.

Cameron seems to me to be Blair Mark 2. A young politician who is all presentation and no policies. With little experience outside public school, Oxford University and Westminster politics. Could we trust him to stick to the voters' interests once in power, particularly given the social pressures to conform in the personal contacts between leaders that consitute international relations these days?
Davis has lost his chance to become leader.
I increasingly wonder whether Britian needs a new party, truly democratic and committed to human rights, to cut away the baggage that the three major parties at Westminster have now all acquired.

I wouldn't vote in a Tory government full stop. As regards Cameron I predict he wont be leader at the next election. He has absolutely no sound policies and simply tries to keep everyone happy by saying what he thinks they want to hear. He is quick to condemn the government on every issue without having an alternative proposal.

I cannot imagine anyone who lived through the eighties and early nineties ever even considering a tory vote.
Have you forgotten the poll tax? Have you the forgotten 4 m unemployed? The Falklands fiasco? The stripping of assets? The destruction of the NHS? The selling off of BT and British Rail.
The Tory party are like Robin Hood in reverse, They take from the poor and give it to the rich.

Every time.i can,t understand why the people can,t see through the spin of the power crazed Blaire's.there are probably 4 million unemployed now but its been worked to look like less .as a dairy farmer we can see to well all the bull that's been said we now work to keep Tesco s happy .by paying us nothing it employs thousands to keep labours employment figures in check ,part timers i mean.this government has disgraced this country and set about destroying our heritage, our history as a nation all in favour of being able to pass the buck to Brussels .how much subsidy do they get for allowing all these migrants into our tiny island .the public don,t want it and yet they are utterly ignored ....

great Britain depending democracy? the historic greeks were utilising it even as we nevertheless lived in dirt huts my pal. And secondly Britain isn't a democracy, it truly is a constitutional monarchy. First previous the publish is the least democractic of all vote casting platforms, a real democratic equipment is proportinal representation. there is not an option decision, no different equipment is democratic. We use a equipment it truly is not democratic in an attempt to get a more beneficial sure result, yet our result's broken if no party holds majority on my own, the finished element of the equipment is lengthy gone. you may want to locate if our parliament finally ends up hung each and every election we ought to flow to AV. and considering even as did the quantity of people vote casting make to slightest little bit of huge difference lol? Democracy IS proportional repesentation, in case you opt for democracy it truly is the vote casting equipment because its honest and proportional. ALL different platforms corrupt the end bring about favour of the great events funded via the better type and company entities. First previous the publish is the very similar as a monarchy or dictatorship, rulers get chosen at beginning and hence get funded. the purely huge difference is you SHEEP imagine your loose less than this equipment. If events use AV like platforms it would want for use everywhere, for sure its solid sufficient for them yet not us! would not choose the morons to weaken their corrupt grip on ability might want to we?

I wouldn't vote Tory if you put Caprice in as leader, sorry. :) As for the current leader, Cameron is - oh, ye gods, words can't describe him. Makes Blair look sensible by comparison. And Davies was an utter cipher.
The only one worth his salt was William Hague, and they stabbed him in the back, so the rest of them can't be much cop at all, so no, I wouldn't vote for the Tories, even if they paid me.

No. I will probably never vote again. Hague was the last half-decent Tory leader, and even he was pants. I had high hopes for Blair, but what a nightmare he turned into. Nope, it's a protest vote for me in future. Liberal or Green.

I don't vote on principle.1) Because of the first-past-the-post system and 2) Any vote is taken by politicians as a positive affirmation of them, their party and their policies. I cannot accept that. There are also other reasons I don't vote but I cannot be bothered to explain.
